ELIGIBILITY RULES

2.) You must physically own all artwork that you submit. You may not submit artwork which has been sold, or for which a sale is pending. Submitted artwork does not have to be posted in your online gallery.
3.) Submitted artwork may not include watermarks or any other type of 'tag' that could affiliate it with a gallery or owner.
4.) If you submit artwork for consideration in this contest, you must vote for all categories. The only exceptions are the optional categories (animated, hentai, settei). These categories are both optional to vote in and optional to submit artwork to. However, you submit artwork to an optional category, you must vote in that category.
5.) Even if you do not submit artwork, you may still vote in any or all of the categories.

SUBMISSION RULES

1.) Participants are eligible to enter the contest in 5 standard categories and 3 optional categories, for a total of 8 pieces of artwork submitted.
2.) While a participant may choose to enter 8 pieces of artwork, you are not required to submit eight different items. You choose to enter fewer items.
3.) In order to cut down on bandwidth usage, please limit your entries to the following dimensions:

Standard: 600 pixels wide, 300kb in size
Horizontal pan: 800 pixels wide, 300kb in size
Vertical pan: 800 pixels high, 300kb in size
Animated: same pixel restrictions as above, size limit is increased to 800k.


4.) Artwork which was previously entered into the Anime-Beta Awards is eligible for re-entry, provided that the winning piece has changed owners. If you choose to submit a previous winning piece, you must e-mail the contest coordinator before submitting it. This way, the organizer knows the piece has changed owners and that it is a qualified entry. If you do not e-mail the coordinator, your entry will be disqualified. Please check previous awards websites carefully.
5.) Sequence mates of previous winners will be allowed if there is a substantial difference between the two. Please inform the contest coordinator which piece you are submitting a sequence mate of. You may not submit a sequence mate if you also own the previous winning piece.
6.) Sequence mates in the same category are not permitted. Whomever submits the artwork first will be given a spot in that category. If you submit a sequence mate to an item that is already in a category, you will have the chance to re-submit another item in lieu of the repeated piece.
7.) Categories with fewer than three entries will be eliminated. You will have the chance to re-submit artwork to another category.
8.) INDUSTRY ART: If an industry artist signed something that is not a standard shikishi board/blank piece of paper, only the signature and any original accompanying artwork are allowed to be submitted.
9.) ANIMATED ART: Animated submissions may only include that which was part of the original studio animated sequence.
10.) Modification and/or enhancement of images is not permitted. The only exception is for oversized images requiring multiple scans. You may piece these scans together to make a complete image. Sketches may also be darkened to enhance the lines, but please be aware that if you make them too dark, the contest organizers may mistake your production art as being photocopied and disqualify it.
11.) If there are similar number of votes, ex-aequo sport competition rule would apply in the following way : two #1, no #2, one #3 /or/ one #1, two #2, no #3 /or/ one #1, one #2, two #3.

Hey guys!

when sending in your entries to celaward2011@gmail.com please make sure to tell which cel is going into what category, re-naming the files/images your attaching in the email after the category your cel is entering and Anime Beta username is a great way to do this and how we’d like them sent in, please rename them like this :)

here’s an example

romance_YOURbetaname.jpg, animated_YOURbetaname.gif

We won’t be taking any links to images

Also please put in the subject of the email “Beta Awards” along with your username!!! :D


Let’s share our best cels with others !!


Thank you! From

Thank you to everyone who already sent in their entries! We have some great artwork in this contest again.

At the moment we already have quite a few submissions sent in, but there are also still many categories left which need more entries. Well there are many categories, so it takes a while for all of them to grow. We expect the most submissions to be sent in this final week, so keep them coming! :)

Happy Thanksgiving.
Gradually increasing, over a third secured with more than 3 entries.
Will certainly have a rush on the last days as usual. Then staff will check the valid/invalid categories due to the amount of entries and inform competitors about for potential re-entry.

Best.
