Good afternoon all, and HAPPY HUMP DAY!!!
Only two more days until
Friday, I can't wait! In yesterday's post, I mentioned an upcoming contest that
Chotopian's have the chance to participate in.
Annikan and I were
brainstorming ideas for the contest awhile back, and we came to the conclusion
that it's time for everyone to express their creative side. Just about everyone loves adding an item of art to their collection, and also loves embracing a game that
has brought them smiles for years.
This contest is simple, but also unique to players as it allows you to expand on
creativity outside of Chotopia, and in the end, gives you a tangible piece of artwork
to hold on to forever (or throw away after, but that’s not cool!)
Many Chotopian’s have played the three main versions of Chobots,
and plenty of us have a collection of memories found throughout the internet. These memories speak volumes of how much we’ve come to love this game. But not many of us have much to remember it by outside of the internet, and if for some horrible reason the internet were to ever disappear... wouldn't you want to be able remember a game you once loved?
Your goal in this contest is to create a multimedia piece of art
representing AT LEAST two of the following Chotopian themes.
Themes
- Favorite in-game location
- Your pet
- Your player
- NPCs: Chopix, Santa, Samantha, Choproff, SnailChob etc.
- Favorite Clothes I.e. flame wings, boots, etc.
- Color Trees
- A fellow Chotopian
- A moderator
- Minigames
- Daisy
- Your house in-game
Any materials can be used in order to create your artwork, but if
you’re having trouble thinking of what media to use—here is a small list that
comes to mind
Magic markers, construction paper, glue, colored pencils, crayons,
scissors, printer paper, graphite pencils, charcoal, blending stumps, tortillons
– and whatever else your heart desires!
Prizes
This contest is open ended, so run in any direction you see fit.
BUT-- all entries MUST include AT LEAST TWO of the themes provided above.
ALL player-entries that are received will automatically award players
with one month free citizenship, 25,000 bugs and ANY item they wish for (given they meet the requirements
and are symbols of your creativity!)
In addition to all players who participate, a panel of judges from
the community will be selected to vote on their favorite to distinguish who
will be Chotopia’s Artist of the Month! The artist of the month will receive ONE
YEAR of free citizenship, and ONE MILLION bugs for being the first. The program isn't 100% complete, but the artist of the month will essentially give users an opportunity to express themselves and be recognized on a community scale. More details to come!
