When we send in the email to ANet for entry submission, are we supposed to get some kind of confirmation email back? I haven't heard from them and I wasn't sure if I should be sending them another email.

Minami · Dec 31, 2010, 07:08 PM // 19:08

Unfortunately, there is no confirmation email, despite the community begging for one set up for years now.

You can only believe your entry arrived.

Verene · Dec 31, 2010, 07:41 PM // 19:41

I'm always paranoid about attachments failing, so I include an image link in my email just in case.

Of course, that doesn't tell me whether or not they received it, but at least if they did and there was a problem with the attachment, they have my entry regardless.

Also, Minami or Perynne, if one of you has a chance, can you change what my entry is listed as in the first post? It's still a photomanip/digital illustration and the gallery is the same, but it's a stained glass window of Dwayna and Grenth instead of the propaganda posters. It's also finished

(just want to be sure that it doesn't get passed over when judging starts

)

Sorry if you can't read the gallery type, photobucket shrinks the images. Turned mine in yesterday hopefully it got through.

Also added Sentient to the list.

Happy New Year everyone! ^_^

Well, decided to go ahead and submit a portion of the story that I had planned on doing for the workshop

Since I'd like to try for a literature award, I'm going to remove myself from judging the literature category, but I'm really looking forward to the challenge of judging the other awards

Name: Thistle Xandra
Story Title: An Unbreakable Bond
Category: Young adult fiction
Link: http://thistlexandra.wordpress.com/g...-contest-2010/
WiPs: Click the home page or 'GW Guru Wintersday Contest' under categories

Warning: I'm submitting the prologue and the first four chapters of the story so this story ends in 'To Be Continued...' Also, this story was written for those that enjoyed the Halloween story, so a lot of the descriptions and character development of the core characters were done there

Lastly, since I had more time to work on the Halloween story, sorry in advance that this one seems incomplete and less polished in comparison. I'll probably finish the entire thing in late Jan/Feb with a more thorough proofing job and expanded descriptions

Happy reading! I hope you all enjoy the story despite the warning

Hey everyone, sorry for not being on much lately. The holidays are always real busy for me.

I was wondering though, skimming through the last couple pages, do we need to use the "THIS IS MY WINTERSDAY WORKSHOP ENTRY" Thing and re-post our finished piece? Or is it okay if we already were finished, because I do see that my listing was updated to say I am finished with my piece on the front of the thread (which is true, I am done and was long before now XD) Just curious because I see so many people posted it like that haha.

And I LOVE THAT RIT COSPLAY!!!! ♥
haha, everyone's art is mind-blowing, can't wait to see the results ^^

Anyone know when judging is done for here on the Guru? I tried to look for a date but I didn't see one anywhere. Also, I NEED to know exactly when that Workshop party will be, so that I can make sure that I can attend it

Hope that everyone had a great Wintersday and are having a Happy New Year ^^

--Sorry if I skipped over someone's reply to me or something from my previous ghostly appearance, I kind of just skimmed through the pages and wrote this quick to let you all know that I'm still alive

I gotta catch some Z's now, just got my two Wintersday hats on GW, they're amazing! In my opinion anyway... (horns ftw) haha, so anyways, g'night everyone hope to pop in sometime soon once more! =D

/wave

Flying Ninja Monk · Jan 01, 2011, 01:07 PM // 13:07

Tommy if you made a canthan workshop it would be SO AWESOME!
So count that as some enthusiasm

I can already picture my idea in my mind...man roasted celestial cow looks GOOD

Xandra i'm reading your writing now

You don't necessarily have to use the entry header, people just like to use it to mark their last official and finished version of their entries, to make it easier for thread browsers to know it's the final version.
At least that's why I marked mine

Thanks for liking my cosplay! ^_^

Judging will begin once the official contest results have been announced, mostly because of the Wintersday Extraordinaire award.
Also because I need to get the judging form (which the judges will have to fill out) from Tzu, and she's on vacation now, hence not around any internet source.

I don't know anything about the party yet, Arghore and Tommy have taken it upon themselves to organize it, and I haven't heard from them. Everyone is busy with the holidays ^_^
I'll be updating the first post with party details once I know more.

Thistle Xandra · Jan 01, 2011, 05:53 PM // 17:53

Doh, I fail... I forgot to say "Happy New Year!" and "Good luck to all in the official contest!" in my other post

Better late than never! {Hugs for all!}

Perynne · Jan 01, 2011, 07:58 PM // 19:58

Happy New Year to everyone! <3

Eee, prettyful entries. :3 Good luck to everyone with the official contest and the workshop. Now starts the long and impatient wait for winners to be announced...

I guess the time for the workshop party will be announced later too? It might be easier to have it once we know the workshop results, so that prizes can be handed out at the same time.
Then again, I think everyone is just so relieved to be done with their submissions that they'd love to party right away.

Minami · Jan 01, 2011, 08:09 PM // 20:09

The official website says that the results will be announced on or around the 14th of January, so Workshop judging and the party will probably not happen until after that date.

Still waiting to hear from Arghore and Tommy.

general shaun · Jan 01, 2011, 08:26 PM // 20:26

Wow, Amazing entries from everyone here :O

Such a variety of talent hiding near the bottom of the Guru forums

Another year gone, and I didn't get round to even starting an entry for any of the art contests.

Maybe I'll get the time next time round

Tommy's · Jan 01, 2011, 10:44 PM // 22:44

Sent you a PM Minami

And Happy New Year everyone

All the best wishes, and hope the contest will bring you any luck
