It should be interesting to see what everyone comes up with, I think we should have ages to, to see where people are at, students or whatever else. Only problem is getting to a scanner
There is going to be a theme of some kind, so any suggestions are welcome.
For now we have only one medium for the competition, and thats traditional art, however we might have another category, again suggestions more than welcome.

if you take your finished work to a print shop or a Kinko's which we have here in the states or even to an art store that can do printwork...for a small fee they can scan your work onto disc...which i've done quite a lot before i got my scanner...
if you do do it this way...just be sure they output scan between 300 or 600 dpi so that you get all the detail, then when you lower it to post you won't lose the quality...you can ask them to save it as tiff file not jpeg...
and depending on the medium...make sure you spray a fix on your work so it doesn't smudge on the scanner...
We could have separate categories for computer edited/unedited things... I probably wouldn't do something modified on a computer, but it might be interesting...
Also I think you should make the theme "fantasy/science fiction", might get more entrants that way.
fantasy is good spring board as it'll draw the most participants...
i also like the abstract part also as i am a big fan of it...war and peace would be good too, we could dictate that it not be too graphic yet not too watered down as it will take away the emotion and the feeling of what war does...but for the start we should do fantasy...
for now we could have the participants go traditional, e.g. hand drawn then rendered using whatever material is available to them: paint, chalk, colored pencils and paint...
but on the b-side, i'm sure i'll get some agreement on this, while i can draw pretty well i cannot for the life of me use traditional paint or any other mechanical medium, hence my love for PhotoShop...maybe we could start at a later date a new category for those digital artists unless it is the consensus to allow them also...

Hmmm...never tried THAT approach...damn, I lost my digital camera so I can't even use that to photograph my drawings!
