Hi @akinahana89.... So just wanna re-check, the staff picks are only done in the final round then, while the first three rounds are votes based?   

 

Yes, only final winners in the last round will involve staff picks. The first three rounds will be determined by public votes.

A N N O U N C E M E N T

All participants are allowed a two sentence maximum explanation of your smash poem in Round One.

Additionally, repetitive use of your smash letter set to create extra stanzas in your poem is also allowed; however, please limit your poem to no more than three stanzas.

[balladblue]

Hello! For the pictures/gifs that can be included with the intro for decorative purposes, does one picture = exactly one scene? Or may we combine three separate pictures of three different scenes into one jpg file and have that be counted as just one picture? Thank you.

so we could add another set after the first set? and we only allowed to use the same set?

for example: we use "grgtgkcbbydgtle" and then add the same line  "grgtgkcbbydgtle" to extend the poem. this is allowed until 3 repetition.

but we're not allowed to add another set, for example we use "grgtgkcbbydgtle" then add a different line "hppgssyicewcicp" to extend the poem, This one is not allowed.

do i understand it correctly?

Yes, you may combine images to make one picture.

@akinahana89 Hello there!

Will like to ask if for Round 1 the smash poetry is included in the introduction or it will be submitted in a different way. Thanks in advance for your answer. 

[GrandPoohBear]

Hello.  My question: are the quotes counted towards the 3-paragraph requirement or can they be place separate from the body of the introduction?

Thank you.

[Guest b8l8]

At the bottom of the entry in font size 8 to 10 will be fine to give creative credit to the members involved. If it's to ensure that the members will be able to claim the prize if your ship wins, then it won't be necessary as that will be a different process altogether.

Dear Moderator, I have just submitted our team's entry in Round 1 contest thread, before I read this explanation. I put credit for the contributiors at the bottom of our entry, but it's with normal size, not 8'or 10 pt. Should I edit the size of the credit text, to comply with this rule? I actually don't think the text size is big, but please kindly check and comment if edit is necessary. Thank you.

The way you have it is fine, since the tagging system is fixed at the default font size. ^^

As long as you don't surpass the three paragraph maximum and you can fulfill all the other requirements of Part One within that paragraph limit, then that will be acceptable.

@akinahana89 Hi.  I want to be sure so not to be left unclear about this: "end of day" deadline means submission is done by 11:59pm on the day of, correct?  Thank you.

[androkia91]

Hello,

I had a question on the quotes. So, does that mean 1 quote = 1 paragraph?

We have included our quotes to mean to be the titles/first lines of each of our paragraphs right now. is hat okay?

If the quotes are used as titles or first lines of a paragraph, then that will be fine.
