~Sylestia's Next Top Designer - Cycle 4~
"Be the Adventure"

Welcome one and all to the FOURTH of my big design contests. I love running these, and have been so grateful for the support and encouragement I've received in the past. This time around we will be doing things very differently, and I hope that everyone who participates has a blast. Sign-ups will also be working a little differently this time around so PLEASE read everything.

This contest will be a combined design AND writing contest. This will be explained more once the contest officially begins but if you do not feel comfortable with the writing portion please do not sign up and just keep an eye out for contests in the future. I am SUPER excited about the writing element I have worked into this contest, and I can't wait to see the added creativity this brings out of the contestants.

So I say this every time I post sign-ups for these contest and I cannot stress it enough this time. These contests are a LOT of work and they last for several months usually. Please do not sign up unless you feel you can commit the time and effort to this. Sign ups always fill up very quickly, and will even more so with the new system this time, and I don't want people who won't be able to give this enough attention to take away the opportunity from someone else who could. Just make sure you consider these things before signing up. Thank you.

Now, onto the actual sign ups. I had a lot of people wish to be pinged for this upcoming contest. I decided that the best way to do this would be to consider those people "pre-signed up". What this means is that they already have a spot on the list, but to keep it they must claim their spot by the end of the sign-up deadline. If they fail to do so their spot will be forfeited. There will be three spots open besides the 12 already taken, anyone who wishes to sign up after those 3 spots are claimed will be put on the "waiting list" and if any of the pre-signed up spots become open I will ping/message people on the waiting list in the order that they are on the list. Furthermore, if someone who pre-signed up wishes to forfeit their spot themselves, they are free to do so. Once we have our 15 contestants sorted out, the fun begins! So please fill out the form below if you wish to sign up, and don't hesitate to ask any questions.

NOTE: Upon trying to post this thread I made the discovery that the username Shardstar8 no longer exists. If anyone knows this user and what they may have changed their username to, please let them know I unfortunately had to forfeit their spot. My apologies. This now means there is a fourth open spot on the roster.

I have just been informed that you are Shardstar8 and that this is what you changed your username to. If you would still like to have a spot in this please post here as soon as you can. I'm sorry that I had to forfeit your spot but I was unsure of how to proceed not knowing what you're changed name was. >.>

Do we have to be good at art for this?

No you will be using the generator to create sylestia designs based on the specific instructions for each round. The only skills required for this are generator designing and writing. :)

Then I am definitely 100% in! This sounds like a lot of fun.
