JUDGES:
The MindFlights editorial staff
Artwork will be judged on both quality and fit, i.e. how well the work fits MindFlights' guidelines.
Contest entries will be judged blind, meaning that the judges will evaluate each piece without knowing the identity of the submitting artists. Winners will be contacted with information regarding their placement and prize status. All non-winning entrants will be contacted within a month after the contest's closing date. There will be no critique or feedback offered for the works entered.
Any questions? Please post them in this thread of the MindFlights forums.
GUIDELINES:
Art must contain a science fiction or fantasy element. Any work without such an element will be disqualified.
Please no B&W work or sketches. Also no straight portraiture. We want work that implies a story or includes a sense of action or conflict.
We accept reproductions of any media: digital art or traditional (watercolor, pencil, oil, collage, etc.), or a hybrid, as long as it's clearly of a fantasy or science fiction nature.
No member of the MindFlights staff may enter this contest, nor any family member of a MindFlights staffer.
