Dear Admin,

Before voting on the Seal of Beauty, eat something. That goes for all of you.

Thanks.


Other than that, make this the Seal of Beauty General thread. Since deadline will close today, tell us what you've submitted/scream like a banshee that you've been wronged and no one understands your art.

Weapons/armour never win!

I'VE BEEN WRONGED AND NO ONE UNDERSTANDS MY ART!

But yes. I submitted a puzzle piece throne with a giant, throbbing marshmellow!

This should not begin until AFTER the judging.

Are you that deprived of drama from other sources that you need to jump the gun on this one?

True, I believe the contests are blindly judged so I'd worry about revealing pieces and their creators too soon. With that said though I sent in a sweet transvestite.

Any artisan cartels with no submissions want to take a chance on Daraius?

Be hard to get it approved that quickly, Darai-pus.

All it takes is a message, right? The design's already available.

Thought it had to be a private design from that cartel?

Seal of Beauty
Deadline for Entry: January 31, 2011
Date Winner Announced: February 6, 2011
Time: 4:00 p.m.
Event: The Trademaster of each trade cartel may submit one design (either public or cartel-specific) on behalf of the cartel. The artist of that design must be specified as it needn't be the Trademaster. For example, Trademaster Tom of the Lollipop cartel may submit a design and specify Jane as the artist. If that design wins, Jane would be considered the winner of the challenge. To enter, the Trademaster should message the Charites with the Cartel's entry and specify who the artist is at that time. The winner of this challenge will receive the Seal of Beauty.

Oh .

And here I should have submitted the tombstone shield.

Please do not, under any circumstances, post your designs on the forums that you've submitted this year.

Only one or two admin are aware of who designed what - the rest of us vote blind, and they don't vote at all!

So please!

Oy vey. Good point.

I'd just hope that all the judges eat well prior and don't automatically start drooling over the food designs, as I suspect may have played a role in prior years.

Designs can only be submitted on behalf of the cartel which created them. I.E. you can't submit design 'a chalice depicting Elostian trying to wear a feminine corset' for cartel 'Estarra's Beach Boys' when the design was created using 'All your base'.

Aha. I thought any cartel could submit a public design regardless of the cartel that created it. Not that it matters much this late in the game! Thanks though.

You can submit public designs yes, but only through the cartel they were created by!

Waitwait..wait.. What?! Oh my gosh. I wish I had known that! I would have submitted my thunderbird wedding cake!

I hope the people that were thinking of submitting my designs actually did, because I totally came up blank on anything to submit through Pufftail and just sent in Nymerya's design instead. All my really good designs are in other people's cartels.

I got all excited because I thought the winner got announced on the 4th. Double checked, and it's the 6th. Go go design!

Also, admins, please next time post the times in GMT. I would love you so much more.

Please?! I'm also super confused about the time.
