Questions and Answers
How will you choose the winners?
We recognize that not everyone is an artist, so we'll be judging submissions based on a variety of criteria. Ads don't have to be "professional"—anyone can win, but we'll be looking at several things when we choose our winners:
- concept
- originality
- use of color
- visual style
- impact
- choice of text and phrases
- whether the ad captures the "spirit" of the site
Could my ads be used as the official WarcraftPets ads?
It's possible. We'll likely choose the most professional sets (but not necessarily the winners) to represent our site.
Can I create animated ads?
No, we'd prefer static artwork.
How will I be notified if I win?
Winners will be announced in our news section. Additionally, each winner will be contacted via email with information about claiming his/her prize.
Do I need an active WarcraftPets account to enter?
No. All visitors to the site may enter the contest, whether they are members or not.
What do you mean by a high-quality jpeg?
The quality of a jpeg is usually treated as a percentage. We're looking for jpegs close to 100% with little or no compression. If you're unsure, just select the highest value that your image editing software permits.
When I submit my entry, my email bounces back. What should I do?
Your files may be too big. Try zipping them or sending each one individually.
I have all the TCG loot pets. Can I get a different prize?
Any prize may be substitued with a prize of a lesser tier. For example, the 1st place winner may freely opt to receive the 2nd or 3rd place prize at his/her request.
Can I submit more than one set of ads?
Yes, and doing so may improve your odds of winning. However, you'll only be eligible to win one prize.
