"Love Like Sugar" Contest - CLOSED! by #AllArt-R-US on deviantART

The contest has now ended, and voting will begin tomorrow, March 23rd.

Thanks so much to all who entered! I am really excited to start voting!

~ Voting ~

The group will be putting up polls for each category, so our members can vote for the winners! Each poll will last a week, so that members have plenty of time to vote. Some of our categories have too many entries for polls. In this case, we will put up a journal and ask members to post their choices in the comments. The journals will contain more specific instructions.

I have taken the liberty of moving some of the entries into different categories to give the entrants better chances of winning. I apologize if this offends anyone, but I felt it was best for all involved.

Each participant was allowed 2 entries. I will be looking through each and every entry, so if I find more than 2 by any member, all entries will be disqualifed without warning. Entries that don't follow the rules will be, as well.

Participants can only place once. In a case where someone's entries place twice (even in different categories), the lower placing entry will be voided.

~ Prizes ~

I am afraid I've had to reduce the prize amounts, since we were not able to get all the points from the former founder's account. I apologize, but there is nothing I can do to change it.

There are 10 categories
~Cartoon, Anime, & Manga
~People
~Artisian Crafts & Models
