The Prize:
As of right now, it's very simple. Your work gets displayed on the front page of this forum until the end of another contest, and it will be noted in your member info. You will also receive a special ticket with a number on it that allows you to post a thread in the Critique section without first making a comment. This ticket can only be used once, however.
I [Saknika] am the only judge, and will post how everyone scored with a reason as to why for every entry. Because I am the only judge, all other staff members are eligible to enter this contest.
