Submissions Info
The Myths and Magic Contest: Create an RPC, tale or document about Mythology or Magic. You may choose either or both topics, and all entries will be competing in the same contest. The submission with the highest final rating will be the contest winner. The highest rated RPC entry will win the RPC-009 slot. Winners will earn bragging rights and featured slots on the front page. Those who do not win are encouraged to upload their submissions.
Mythology
If you choose to write under the topic of Mythology, you will be tasked with writing an article based on a legend, folklore or myth. There are many concepts to choose from and there's a lot of room to explore. You can take a literal approach and write a myth as a real anomaly, or you may take a more metaphorical route as long as the points of the myth are very core and apparent to the article. As long as the myth is explicitly involved, it may be entered.
Magic
If you choose to write under the topic of Magic, you will be tasked with writing an article that explores a magic system; some examples of magic and thaumaturgy from the Authority's perspective can be found on the Thaumaturgy Infopage. You may write about something entirely new, or write about any magic system that is already present in the site or exists in real history.
Myths & Magic Art Contest: Create a piece of art which depicts a legend/folklore from mythology or depicts magic/thaumaturgy. The overall winner of this contest will be awarded an Intuos 5 drawing tablet, courtesy of
Von Pincier.
- To enter the art contest, contact
Croal (Coupon#1773) or
Vizlox (LPP#8656).
- Submit your art piece before the 5th of July!
Magic System Info-Graphic Contest: If your forte is more along the lines of info-graphics rather than art pieces, then fear not because there will be an additional contest category for informational depictions of specific magic systems. These can be in the form of charts, visual maps (such as the banner image on the Thaumaturgy page), or any other graphical depiction. The winner will be chosen based on which entry does the best job conveying the magic system in an organized, interesting and pleasing way.
- The info-graphic can be based on any magic system, but you are encouraged to depict a magic system already used on-site or within a contest entry!
- You may enter your info-graphic into the main art contest as well if you choose.
