Just a reminder to all the artists out here.
March is the last change to enter this Fan Art Battle and win awesome (bonus)prizes!
Make sure your art is submitted before March 29th at midnight (UTC -05) and to those that will have to make up for January and/or February, the make up art has the same deadline!

Also want to point out that the deadline for an Early Bird Vote is in 4 days! (March 15th, midnight)

@HardRider: *hugs* At least you can still enjoy the art and you get to vote too, if you like!

I woke up this morning and the first thing I thought was....
"curse I forgot to announce the new theme!"

Didn't have time then as I had to get ready for work, but April's theme now has been announced!
Only a few hours late. Sorry about that *pouts*.

check it out!

Also I want to point out that April has a bonus prize for the winner!

...can comic book pages be considered for the fart contest also??

Well, there is such a thing as a multipanel. If you would make only one page (no more then 5 panels) I think I can aprove that

Unless your fellow participants disagree and can give good reasons for it.
Speak now, or just deal with it . (I'm gonna give this discussion 5 days).

I actually didn't think that far ahead, but Tartyr came with a good point in the June's voting thread:

I suppose, since the voting amount is quite thin lately, I could allow participants to vote... but if they do, they will always have to put themselves on 3rd place?
What do you guys think?

3rd place is fine.. I was hoping we could use it more for a good thread *bump* when needed.

I reminded some people to have a look and vote if possible. Lazy bums!

I have no problem 'giving' myself a third place point if I stirs attention for others to vote. Alternatively, you could 'not count' the required 3rd place vote for participants who choose to vote. So they only give points for 1st and 2nd when voting for the other contestants.

Yeah I asked friends too, but somehow it seems too much to ask *giggles*.

That's a good idea, Liz, but for that to be most fair, wouldn't it be needed that every participant votes?

well.. less people also means less drama, something that was very VERY much needed in some of the prior Farting contests.

Quite true, though I'm afraid the drama of former Battles may have dicouraged people to join in the first place.
Even adding LOADS of bonus-prizes ánd David Nakayama couldn't change their minds *pouts*.

But we did get to see some new faces this year, have had many awesome entries... and still 2 months to go! .

Perhaps.. IF there's going to be another battle next year... the name should be changed.
Fresh start, same concept, no drama .
