FAQ

Q. Do we need to do all four Packs to count as an entry?

A. No, it is not required to do all four Packs.

Q. Is there anything we can't draw?

A. Please refer to our CA Content rules and TOS. Any entries that break these content rules will be disqualified.

Q. Does this need the Pack Crest?

A. No, this does not need to have the Pack Crest in the design. It should be able to be linked to the selected pack through the colour scheme and theme.

Do we color the dirt and grass too, and does it have to be dirt?

@Desnik You can colour those two, yes. It does not have to be dirt.

Do uploads have to be on forms only?

@Moongoddess Yes, submissions must be handed through the forums to keep all information in one place for our Moderators.

Thanks for the info

Wow this is cool

I use a Chromebook. Will it work on that? If not, I can borrow my brother's mac.

So- just to make this clear: I'm going to make a flag for my pack, and if it's good enough, then I'll get lots of moonstones and flags and fame and Marvin will start selling it? Do I have to come up with a name for my pack? That'll be easy for me.

Sorry if I sound rude- I'm not trying to. It's just my... excitement.

If I were to, y'know, not make it, will this be happening again? For instance, when I get a more powerful computer, better drawing app, and up my skill level?

Thanks!

Hi Quiche / any other mod answering

I know it said no shading - what about, like...a sheen ? or glint ? as if the flag had some shiny fabric on it ?

Do you think that in the future there will be a similar contest but with a less "long" flag? I came up with a design I REALLY enjoy but the fact that the flag is so long makes it ridiculous and very much "squeezed in"... It would be nice if it were to be another coloring competition that the flag would be another shape or at least less long and tight?

Just a feedback of course, I'll most probably have to find another design to fit the actual design, but at least I personally struggle with such limited space.

I hope for these coloring competition to still come in the future, I think it's nice that you involve the community in such way :)

Can we create CA out of our standards if they do not get chosen? Is use of the contest base art allowed for CA?
