Submission Guidelines

• Submissions must include both mascots and should fit the character criteria that we have listed.
• Art must contain original art only! No tracing, stealing, cropping, etc. from other images. Also, No fanart characters.
• It is a winter con, so we would like to see that used (snow, wintry weather, or winter clothing, etc.)
• Colors used for the characters must be cool wintry colors (white, blue, gray, etc.) or other coordinating colors as they are cool like baby pink, or mint green.
• Art must remain PG. No blood, no nudity, and no suggestive content.
• Additionally, our theme this year is “Winter Sports”. Think winter Olympics, but don't feel restricted to just that.
• Each year we have a bonus item that will earn extra points if included in the art. This year’s item is “animals.” Try to include winter animals such as polar bears, penguins, etc.
• In addition to our mascots, the art must have some sort of a background.
• Please note our title will be placed somewhere over the upper portion of the picture. You may want to leave some “blank” space or at least avoiding putting anything essential there.

• You can submit up to 2 entries
