Okay, so here's the basic rundown on the Sam and Max fan art contest that is being hosted by :icontelltalegames-fc: and :iconsam-n-max:. If you're interested in participating, you might want to read this, because it's pretty important.

:bulletblack:The Theme:bulletblack:
The Theme of the contest is Sam,Max, And Music. The judges,(me, ~Ginny-N,~BlueHedgie and~Internetakias have chosen 2 songs from the soundtrack of the Sam and Max games developed by Telltale. What you, the contestant will do is draw a picture of Sam and Max that has something to do with the song you chose. It's pretty simple, but if you need a better explanation, or have any other questions, please comment so we know!

:bulletblue:The Song Choices:bulletblue:

:bulletred:I, ~Cheruphim:iconcheruphim: have chosen
The Office

World of Max[link]
from Season 1.

:bulletgreen:~Ginny-N:iconginny-n: has chosen
Jurgen's Lair Suite[link] and
Fugue and Dies Irae[link] from Season 2.

:bulletwhite:~BlueHedgie:iconbluehedgie: has chosen

:bulletblack:Finally, ~Internetakias:iconinternetakias: has chosen
Greetings From The USA[link] and
Trixie's Trailer[link]
from Sam and Max: Hit the Road.

:bulletred:Where do I Submit To?:bulletred:
As soon as we get the folders open ready for submission on the groups, send me a note with your link to the piece you're submitting. From there, when the folders are open, I'll be sure to start putting the pictures in their respective folders. More information when we get it ready!

:bulletwhite:When Does it Start/End?:bulletwhite:
So far, the initial date is March 1st, but this is indefinite. Be sure to check back! As for the deadline, I'm unsure. We'll let you know!

:bulletblue:F.A.Q:bulletblue:

Q:Can I submit pictures I've finished already for the contest?
A:Yes, you may, though the picture must have something to do with one of the songs that are selected. Please don't submit something that you drew before that has nothing to do with any of the songs here.

Q: Okay, but how do I let people know that I drew it inspired by that song?
A: Just put it in your artist's comments or let me know through the note. It's simple. If you need any help doing so, just let me know by commenting.

Q: Can I submit pieces with a Mature Content label?
A: Of course! However, no 18+ pieces, please. We want to preserve the open nature for all the contestants, and while we do support artistic integrity, we don't want anything overly explicit. Blood and mild gore are allowed, as well as mild to moderate sexual themes. Profanity is also okay, as long as you keep it under 18, along with nudity. And if anyone is curious, fan-slash (for instance, SamxOC, SamxMax,) is allowed, as long as the content is not overly explicit.

Q: What forms of art are allowed?
A: Any kinds, as long as it is drawn and colored by you. Collaborations are allowed, as long as the artists were both involved in the project.

What won't be allowed are photo-manipulations like this:[link]. We want you to get out there and create your own stuff!

:bulletgreen:What are the Prizes?:bulletgreen:
While the judges and I are still working through the prize list, we have worked out a general list.

1st Place: The Cartoon Series, 1 year subcription, 1 commission
2nd Place- The Symbiotes Figures, 1 commission
3rd Place- 1 Commission

You get a lot for winning the big prize, so it's pretty good!

Without further to do, bring on the pictures! We can't wait to see what you, the contestants can come up with!

Do you have to choose two songs? If so, do you have to do one entry that embodies both songs, or two separate entries?

Well, actually you have to choose just one song. We just chose two songs that were from each game. ^^ And you only need one entry that embodies the music. ^^

Also, is March 1st the deadline or when the contest starts.
I don't know how much time I'll have on my hands, but I'd love to do a piece for "The Big Stinker" from "Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space."

The contest starts on March 1st. ^^

Well, actually, you choose from the songs that had been selected by the judges, and the picture is based off the song you chose. We're thinking the deadline will be something in April; March 1st is when the contest starts. I hope this is a good explanation!

Oh, I get it. I thought the judges were actually contestants and that they already chose the ones they wanted to do. Also, can more than one person choose the same song?

Glad to help! ^^
Yeah, more than one person can choose the same song. It's perfectly fine.

They are some mighty fine song choice right there. It's like being a child in a candy store!
