concours ouvert (open contest)closing after voting «12...Next Go

themelonic

Concours Ouvert (french for open contest), is exactly what the title says... It is an open contest. Meaning that anyone can join when they want and however many times they want. This contest is designed to be fun, light hearted, and another way to enjoy the modeling world of sims. For many of us who love the modeling community real life deadlines, schedules, and priorities keep us from entering the amount of competitions we wish.


This is a nice simple and sweet competition, Concours Ouvert has deadlines; but by no means do you 'have' to submit. Challenges will be bimonthly (twice a month) Voting will commence during the submission process of the previous challenge. Each challenge will last accordingly about every two weeks. The community will vote on the photos and a winner will be announced.

Prizes
A Banner
200 Unbound tokens (unbound)
or
item or items off of your wishlist up to 200 points worth (Sims3 official site).

The rules are concise and simple to ensure all contestants and viewers the most potential amounts of fun.


You may only enter one photo per challenge, but you can enter 1x each challenge

No reserves or extensions (no need 1 date if you turn in great.. if no maybe next time)

You may only submit a photo once per this competition

You may use previous competition photos and magazine article photos (if allowed by the previous competition/magazine)

You must use your own work.

PG 13 and more risky entries must be submitted via the unbound thread http://www.sims3unbound.com/t2384-concours-ouvert-open-contest-new-challenge-up
Most important.. Have fun and play nice

Maybe more people would enter if you offered something from the sims 3 store, like points.

If all you are giving as a prize is for people who use unbound, not many people here will enter! I wanted to join, but I am not, nor do I want to, on unbound.

Just a suggestion...I like the idea though!

@Dancer: so, a big decider for you to join a comp is if the prizes are good?... That doesn't matter to me, and as I said on unbound, I'll probably come up with a picture when I have time- and not for the points or siggy.

I don't mean that, there is no reason to be rude.

I was saying that for a competition on this site, the prizes should be for this site. There is a siggy being offered, but its unbound regulation size- not the sims 3 site. She should make it seem more open to both sides, that's all I am saying.

I would be perfectly fine with a siggy, but I personally never enter a competition when it is also on unbound, just because I get confused where the photos are coming from

But, carry on. I don't mean to cause a fuss, or for people to comment rudely to me, I was just suggesting.

So, sorry for trying to help. Good luck with the comp. :-)

It's fine...we just misread each other, I think!

I'm just glad this wont turn into a fight....that happens on this site super often :x

I'm sorry for over reacting :oops:

simsgal2227

Oh, I'm sorry, I don't like to get into pointless forum fights. I don't blame how you feel, if I don't go on unbound, I probably would feel the same way!

Is unbound basically...the same as this site?

simsgal2227

Unbound has a lot of tuts that aren't here, and there are more comps, but there are more experienced people, and to me, it's often...homeir based on the people that are there. I think that's because a lot of newbies here don't compliment each other's works and lurk as well as post their assignments . And there are less rules, so you can post some 'inappropriate' comp photos. For example, one of the comps I'm in there is for evil sims, and it's based on the darkness of the picture, and they are pretty much all inappropriate to post here.

I did not even look at that... I have been on unbound so much that did not even think to edit that!

Sig size should be fine on here.

More options.
Less Idiots/Drama.
More eye appealing.
More Challenging Comps.
Easier to follow with the threads.
Downloads.
Bliss and Beach.
Less to get 'banned' for.

Im very biased.. and really have been a cricket in the officials for well since Unbound came out. like over a year ago. But I will look into adjusting the points/token issue..

I do think that is valid and did completely miss it.
So thank you.

themelonic

all better!
