Rules for The Signature of the Week Competition
I. Signature of the Week.
SotW is held weekly, where members submit work dedicated to a specified theme. This theme is chosen by the members themselves. Once the topic is chosen The moderator makes a thread dedicated for the sole purpose of the week's SotW competition. Within this thread, major rules are made clear, along with the theme. Here is where the user will post the artwork that he or she has created. After the deadline for the graphic entry submission has past, a post will be amassed by a user granted with SotW Duty (VI). All of the signatures that have been created are moved to this post where the designers and members will vote. Their votes will be based on Signature quality or Signature theme, but it is ultimately their choice. Once all votes are cast, and the voting deadline passes, the winner will be chosen. His or her winning Signature will be then moved to the pinned SotW Hall of Fame thread on these forums. The designer will be forever marked in SotW history.
