January 1st, 2009

Welcome to the first Snarc contest. Since it is January, I thought that maybe we could think about what Severus does in winter, past, present or future. Does he hibernate in the dungeons, Portkey to a deserted tropical island to escape the cold, or spend countless hours perfecting the ultimate fruitcake recipe? Just imagine all the possibilities!
Post your creation in a separate entry. The contest ends on January 31st. I look forward to seeing your entries.
If you are not familiar with the Snape Art Contest community, please take a look at past entries here. You will see a wide variety of styles and the amazing creativity that the entrants draw from Severus Snape.
Before I post the first Snarc Contest on
1. The most important rule for the Contest is to keep it funny. We make fun with Severus, not so much about him. Almost always he has the last laugh.
2. The paintings can be made with any media of your choice. If you do not have an art program on your PC, you can try ArtPad and other alternatives listed here. Photomanips will still be excluded, however.
3. Artistic talent isn't required, only imagination and humour. Stick figure Snapes are perfectly acceptable.
4. Snape must be in the picture, in recognizable form. Follow the contest prompt directions regarding other characters, architecture, etc. In general, dialogue is optional.
5. Since the contest used ArtPad from the inception, and ArtPad prohibited pornographic art, it has been customary to refrain from such.
6. Post your entry, in a new post, before the deadline, including links to ArtPad or other programs which show the process of drawing in animation. Multiple entries are welcome.
7. The deadline for the contest is midnight wherever you are on the date set by the host.
8. The winners will be determined by number of reviews to each entry up to a set date.
