Topic: Re: 10th anniversary art contest - page 12. (Read 6501 times)
I've been loving this contest, since I can finally give away some of my merit without having to go look for posts
I'm trying to get 100 images like this one in a single mosaic gallery (10 years x 10 images each of each year). However, when I try to use them all in a single frame, it all gets completely blurred and everything gets ruined. For example:
This:
looks like this when resized in one image:
(which doesn't make any sense at all)
...so are you guys gonna give me any suggestion(s) or should I just give up?

In my search for a method to convert avatars into a bigger picture, I found a site which I'm pretty sure you used too. I didn't want to replicate your idea, otherwise I would have submitted this:
I tried wordclouds.com and wordart.com and couldn't get them to use the font that I wanted (Ubuntu Bold Italic) so I ended up with some ugly hack that takes 40 minutes to render. Now I found out that wordart can load a TTF file so feeling a bit dumb.

I'm quite certain we'll see some outstanding works later in the contest and there won't be any doubt as to the originality or creativity. None of the 15-minute (or 40-minute) "artists" stand a chance if that's what you're concerned about.
Coming from someone who was first to post some fridge art - you know I'm an expert obviously

There's a lot of other art tools that can be used on this contest:

Due to this issue and the opinions of users on this contest, the judgment should be fair and not be based on the votes 'cause probably it will be easily manipulated by some 'alt accounts' here. This is the suggested criteria for the contest:
My criteria:
- Originality/Uniqueness-30% (Should be given a high percentage for those who made that type of art, a low score for those who copied the idea)
- Votes-10% (Low percentage only since it can be manipulated. Should be limited to 2-3 votes per user.)
- Relevance to the theme-20% (optional since the theme is only 10th anniversary and all participants can make their own themes.)
- Creativity-40% (Obviously, It's how you manage to create the art and its components: elements, meaning, and style)
And absolutely, there's no room for effort, maybe merits are enough for appreciation.
Probably the judges on votes are all of us while in the other criteria will be judged by reputable staffs especially the admin, @theymos.

Judging by the entries submitted so far, many of which seem to consist of the text "bitcointalk.org" or a Bitcoin logo slapped on an assembly of entirely unattributed Google image search results, I think there needs to be some clarification on this rule. 
They probably won't be winning submissions, but effort can still be made with pre-existing stock images.Regarding web app tools that automatically create images or art with your preferences, it's less effort and meaningless, instant artwork with the help of AI? eh? There's a lot of amazing artworks in there that have meanings and probably hand-made(digital or physical art), art always has meanings. In the end, I don't want to argue with that because art will be always art, we should appreciate it all.
There is some decent work starting to show up, which makes sense considering that we have a month so no rush. Hopefully this will continue to improve.

Theymos has merited some users who have used stock images so I'd assume its fine. They probably won't be winning submissions, but effort can still be made with pre existing stock images. I highly doubt slapping a Bitcointalk logo on something will get you win considering some of the talented submissions we've had. 
As per my understanding, there will be only 1 prize of 1 bitcoin to the best submission. Am i right ?
Considering the numbers of responses received, would not it be better to have 0.01 BTC reward each for top 100 images ?

I will distribute at total of at least 1 BTC to the art submissions which I personally like the best, completely subjectively. I might give out more if there are a lot of good submissions.
From this it is obvious that more submissions will share at least 1 BTC, there won't be just 1 winner.

Any art you post must be created by you.

He didn't say 'created entirely by you', so they could be valid entries. Doesn't necessarily mean they'll be winning entries, though.

Is anyone going to object if I submit on behalf of a minor? Person's art has actually already featured on this forum, and sold even. Would ask to get an own account and not that am aware of an age restriction here but. Person wouldn't be active anyway.
Seems that you could?
Any art you post must be created by you.
Can I bend this rule a bit and submit art made by my (toddler) daughter?I asked her just yesterday if it's okay if I sell her artwork on the internet for Bitcoin, and she said yes. If I can get her to make anything Bitcoin related, this would be a great start of her art career.
Yes.
But as there are no restrictions on having an account here like on other websites, not that anyone would care anyway, just have them register if they're old enough they know how to read.
Any art you post must be created by you.
How exactly do you plan on judging that part? what if someone's "friend" create the art for them? also, there does not seem to be any rank restrictions which means a single person can submit unlimited number of art ? a portion of 1 BTC and 500 merit is tempting enough for many members to spam this contest.
Some things can not be judged properly.... Maybe NO newbie accounts but then again they can’t post pics....
And maybe sometimes people not always need to be threatened to suspiciously in here there is a thread been made with a give away (free-roll) based on generosity and kindness, probably been thought through and not always need to be questioned with 100 different rule adjustments, when a contest has been released it can’t be reversed imo and just need s to play out like how it is.....
If it wouldn’t go good, then lesson learned for a next game or contest or whatever.....
I think it’s a nice game, and people should play if they like, if not stay away as easy as that....
I will keep it with one piece, a few words and I hope most members to do the same.
Small suggestion @theymos, it would be good to create a poll picking the top ten or twenty art works by 22 November 2019 and post it for voting. Through this even the community users can help in choosing the right winner. One who gets the increased number of votes can be rewarded as the winner of the contest.
Maybe I'll do something like that nearer to the end, though designing a voting system to prevent manipulation is difficult.
Just a suggestion sir, pick the top 20 and let them vote for the winner. They can't vote their self, but they must vote someone else work. I hope this one helps 🙂
is more than one submission per person possible?
Yes:Can we make unli submission?
Yes, but probably there will be diminishing returns.
is more than one submission per person possible?
Weighted voting might be helpful, but make sure weight measurement is private.
I expect theymos builds something with base vote power, mini votes and super votes 
I would like to submit. How do you put a picture in a comment post. I keep trying to figure it out lol.
As a Newbie, you can't do that unless you buy a Copper Membership (or Rank up).But you can post a link to an image.
