Hello again, dear Fatefuls!
If you're a Fateful and you know it, please vote ^.^

**UPDATE: As of December 12, the Fateful Olympics are officially closed!!!**

Big congratulations to our fan art contest winner @WriterAngelique! Check out the contest results page to see all medalists on the Olympic podiums :D

This is the official page for the FAN ART CONTEST, for Fatefuls to find out more and enter if interested! To enter, simply comment on this chapter that you plan to submit fan art :)

**Note: unlike the previous Olympics chapter, this page is for official entry** - so once you sign up here, I hope you will follow through!! It's okay if you have to back out later on, for some understandable reason - but please only sign up if you're pretty sure that you plan to submit something. Thank you :)

Below are guidelines, prizes, and dates & deadlines. Thanks for your interest!! Happy Olympics! ^_^

~~~ GUIDELINES ~~~

(1) Make your fan art! Any submission will qualify as long as it portrays/expresses something related to The Fates - characters, settings, themes, thoughts, feelings... anything! Your art can be any form of art that is able to be scanned, photographed, or otherwise saved as an image file on the computer :)  The only exception is that if you'd like to make a cover for Book II, then please don't enter it in this contest, since there will be a separate event for that ;)

(2) Submit your fan art! In order to submit, you will have to save an image of your fan art in JPG form (a file with ".jpg" at the end). Then you can upload the file to an image-sharing site, such as www.imgur.com, www.photobucket.com, or www.pinterest.com, which will create a link for you to share the image with anyone! All you have to do is paste that link in a comment on this page, or in a message to _Ahna_. If you have any questions about these directions, just let me know :)

Note: You are welcome to submit as many pieces of fan art as you would like. You can either submit them as one contest entry (to be judged altogether), or as separate contest entries (to be judged separately). Please just indicate which you intend to do.

** I plan/hope to upload all fan art submissions to The Fates Fan Art board on Pinterest (link on my profile)! But of course, I will ask for your permission before posting your art up there :) **

~~~ PRIZES ~~~

The winner will be selected by Ahna as thoughtfully and fairly as possible, based on the creativity, aesthetic appeal, and overall quality of the artwork :)

Fan Art contest winner will receive:
(1) Follow from Ahna (if not already)
(2) Long-term shout-out in Ahna's profile
(3) Promotion via message broadcast to all of Ahna's followers
(4) Indication of "Olympic Victor" on The Fates Fan Art Pinterest board
(5) Promised dedication on the 3rd chapter of The Fates Book II, when it's posted to Wattpad :D

Note: If there are 8+ total fan art submissions, then there will be gold, silver, and bronze medals. Prizes would be different for 2nd/3rd place, with no guarantees yet - but certainly some sort of recognition and reward :)

Also - if you do choose to submit multiple artworks as separate contest entries, you would still only have a shot at one medal, to be awarded to the 'winningest' of your entries. This is just to ensure that one person won't sweep the whole podium, as that would be less fun :)

~~~ DATES & DEADLINES ~~~

October 12: Official opening date for all Olympic events, including the fan art contest!! (though of course, you may start creating your art in advance, if you wish)

November 12: Deadline for all fan art submissions. If you would like an extension for any reason, please send a PM to Ahna :)

December 12: Closing ceremony for all Olympic events - victors declared, prizes awarded, Olympic glory achieved!! :D

Questions? Feel free to ask in comments, or PM me if you prefer! Thank you so much to all my dear Fatefuls!!! Incredibly excited for the Olympics ^.^  Much luv to you all!!! ♥
