Advent Calendar 2017
Day 11/12
Snow
Greetings Everyone and welcome to the 2017 Advent Calendar. Today is December 11th, which means Days 11 and 12 of the Advent Calendar and the theme for today (If you couldn't see the big letters above) Is Snow! Yes, the white, fluffy, cold stuff that falls from the ground. We play in it, we throw it at people, we make things out of it. And in some cases... we just look at it! Well today, I've provided a picture that I want to hear described in your own words. Sure, anyone can just look at a picture. But I want to see how you would describe the picture I have. Can you paint a vivid picture in my mind?
Here are the rules for this event!
[/li][li]This is a TWO DAY EVENT! That means that 48 hours from the time of posting, this event can be closed. Will it be closed immediately after that point? Nope! The thread isn't closed until I say that it is. So if I haven't posted saying it's closed, you can still submit your entries.
[/li][li]This event is going to be judged by me. Because of the array of submissions, I will be reading over all of them and grading them on a very specific scale. It will be graded on 4 main categories, and can receive 10 points in each category, for a total of 40 points
[/li][li]The four categories are: Accuracy (How accurately did you keep to the picture), Visual Appeal (Did you paint a vivid picture in my mind with description alone?), Flow (How well does the description flow from one part of the picture to another), and Excitement (Does your description create excitement or boredom).[/li][li]Keep in mind, Length is not listed in the above categories. Everyone takes a different amount of time to describe something. If it takes you longer, then feel free to take longer. If you can describe it easily in a paragraph, then do so. The choice is up to you. But make sure it shows some effort.
[/li][/ul]
- If you have a problem with any of the rules, PM Me! I'm an easy going guy, and if you waiting on a PM from me prevents you from entering this event, no worries. I will give you an extension equal to the amount of time you were waiting on me to respond. (If during the submission phase, the submission phase will be extended, and the judging will be held off until the extension is done.)
- This one WILL Take me some time to grade. Since I have to read through every submission and grade them on the scale listed above, I need to look through each and every single one and grade them. So please be patient when I go to the grading and judging of each one.
- If you feel your grade is unfair, I will happily allow two others to grade it as well and we will go with the average of our three scores. But I will be as fair as I can with the scores, and everyone will receive a prize regardless.
- Make sure to follow the four rules I listed in the main thread. Here's a link for convenience sake. (LINK)
Now for the fun part... The prize! The prize for Day 11/12's event is... a mystery! Yep, keeping this one hidden (Most will be like this). However, I will say there is a First, Second, and Third place prize here. How will that be determined? The scores! The top three scores will receive the prizes! There will also be a participation prize for those who submit an entry! Plus, remember that you have to participate in all events to receive a special prize package at the end! So go out there and show me how well you can describe this lovely picture!
