2010 Open Rendering Season Content for Songbird ReMix users

Congratulations to the 2010 Prize Winners!

See this years' Entries and what's won in the past...  2009, 2008 & 2007

Next year's contest starts on January 2nd, 2011

Rules:

1.  Imagery must contain a visible and discernible Songbird ReMix bird product (See acceptable list of products). Imagery to be submitted may be still or animated.  Any 2D or 3D Software may be used. The size of the still imagery should be no smaller than 800 x 600 pixels and no larger than 2000 x 2000 pixels and saved in .jpg format. Animation entries should be posted on YouTube and a link to the animation provided on the Contest Entry Message thread at ArtZone's Bird Brains Group

2a. Two entries submission per entrant.  Because several entrants have asked for a second chance at the contest, I have agreed to change the limit from one to two entries.  To be fair to other entrants, I am also adding a one prize-one entrant rule; in other words, you can only win once.  If both pieces are selected by the judges as prize winners, the one with the least amount of votes will be disqualified.

2b. Animated pieces: if over 5 animated pieces are entered, a separate animation judging will be conducted with separate prizes.  5 entrants- 1 prize award; 7 entrants- 2 prize awards; 10 entrants of more entrants-3 prize awards.

3. Images may contain nudity, however, remember judging will be partially focusing on the use of the Songbird ReMix package. The winning entries will be selected by a Judging Panel - The Panel's decision is final. Judges will perform independent reviews of the submissions. The Judges (and Ken) may not submit entries.

4. The finished products must be solely the creation by the entrant . All artists agree, by entering this contest, to allow Ken Gilliland to use their entries to promote future contests held and to display the result of this contest. The Artist will remain the intellectual property holder of their entry images. Image and animation will not be used for any commercial purpose without the express written consent of the artist.

5. Entries will be accepted after January 2, 2010. All entries must submitted by March 1st, 2010, 11:59pm PST. Any entries submitted after that date will not be considered. Award winners will be announced March 15th. Prize Winners must supply their real names, email addresses, and mailing addresses for prize distribution. Monetary amount of "Shopping Spree" can only be used at the Songbird ReMix Merchandise Store (Ken's CafePress and RedBubble stores).  Unused amounts of "Shopping Spree" prize are considered non-redeemable.
