Sumarul concursului

Contest Brief:
I am running this contest as a way of finding an artist/illustrator for some long term (periodic) work illustrating children stories. This is contest #2 and there will probably be a few more in total later this month.

The Contest consists of the following:
AWARDS:
$25 to the winner
$5 to runner-up (Free Hand Category)
$5 to runner-up (Graphic Design Category)
****There are so many good entries in the first contest, I’d like to give at least a two small runner up prices. Only the top entry will be used, the runner-up do not have to sell the right to their art, it’s just a way to say thank you for entering.

RULES:
1) A one page illustration (Should be a cover to the story)
a) Judging will be as follows:
• Fairy needs to match the story
• Originality
• Children friendly fairy (since it’s a children story)
• Coloring

2) Color required. Medium is open to the artist.

3) The illustration has to be based on the attached story "The Dark Fairy and the Rose” (copy write 2013)

4) The illustration will be used in a fairy tale e-book and the artist name will be included. If, in the future, a collection of all the e-stories make it a paper book publication the artist will still be credited for the work. The use of the art work will be kept to these two venues. Any additional usage of the artwork will only come at the permission of the artist.

5) In all likelihood the artwork will be used as a way to find a long term artist for various projects, at which time proper compensation will be negotiated. (For example while the first contest is running I have given out one illustration project to one of the artist with more to follow)

6) Please add a price amount in case your submission doesn't win, as I may still want to purchase.

7) For any additional questions, please send me an e-mail.

Finally, don't over think it. Go with your gut and get creative. In short have fun with it. If you are not having fun with it, you are probably not the long term artist I am looking for! :)

Best of luck (Again)

PS...the work must be 100% original.

My apologies for taking so long. I have been traveling.
This was not an easy contest to decide, as I really like a lot of the entries. Away from this contest, I have sent projects to three other artists entered in the contest and I am discussing projects with a few others. I just can’t do all projects at once.
Lemmiwinkes – You have a very pretty fairy. It’s good enough to win a contest, it’s just not the right fairy for this story. Let’s find a story for it.
Joellebest – Bear with me. I will work a project your way when I get a chance.
FateevKa, gibanfi68 – I have provided you projects already based on your entries into the contest.

  Yes. Let's find the story. I will e-mail you and we can discuss rates. It may be a few weeks to actually get the story out to you. As I have moved this past week (100 km from Florida to Virginia in the US...and started a new job)....but I will contact you.

  No problem :) I'm not too concerned with the $5, as far as I'm concerned Mayteesk can just keep that, but I just hope you'll remember me if you ever have any other projects that you think my style could be suitable for

  I understand...I am still mad at Freelancer...I asked about this ahead of time...and their current reply is...Sorry, there can only be one winner. Which is fine, if I had not asked a few times ahead of time. I will see what I can do.

Also. I have to figure out how to send out the Runner up prizes. I am trying to see how best to do it with Freelancers help.

To all artist: Since there are also small Runner-up prizes, please let me know what median was use for the artwork. All those pieces that were strictly free-hand efforts, please let me know. So I know how to judge the runner up positions. Thank you.

please be honest in giving Ranked .. I know you appreciate us as a designer .. but if we do not work according to the style you want ,, then do not provide ratings that are too high or even better eliminate it . so we should not expect much on rating..thank

  Not sure what you are talking about?...I give honest feedback to everyone. There may be some that I like better than others...but the artwork is good. Each different but each is good in it's own right...even the person that didn't enter a fairy had good art work...they just didn't draw a fairy.
