Hello members of PST! Some of you are familiar with our site’s Signature of the Month competitions, and some of you are not. However, after holding more than thirty competitions, we’ve decided to do something special. So we’re posting it in the Announcements section of the forum so that it can get some extra attention, as well as hopefully get some new and old artists to come out of the woodworks. Whether you’re a graphics veteran or you’ve only messed around in Paint, everyone’s welcome to participate, so let’s have fun with this!

 

Signature Tournament Central can be found HERE which is to be used as the discussion thread as well as the signup thread.

 

We’re hoping for a big turnout, however we need to limit it to a maximum of 32 participants for the sake of being able to manage it efficiently.

 

Please note that all other threads regarding the tournament will be posted in the User Generated Content section of the forum, however links to the tournament threads will be posted here as well.

 

1 - Rules:

  • There are no member restrictions for entering, post count or otherwise, everyone is welcome to enter and is encouraged to do so regardless of experience.
  • All entries are anonymous and are to remain anonymous until the end of the tournament.
  • In order to maintain anonymity, if you are eliminated during the tournament, please do not post and state which entry was yours until the end of the tournament.
  • Your signatures must be created by you and be new work, made for the PST Signature Tournament.
  • Plagiarism will NOT be tolerated and may lead to infractions and/or a ban from the competition or site.
  • Your entry must say "PST" somewhere in it. Also, it can't have your name on it.
  • Guideline for size restrictions, 500x300 for horizontal submissions & 300x500 for vertical submissions unless stated otherwise. No exceptions.
  • Animated .gifs are prohibited.
  • Soliciting votes are prohibited.

 

2 - Tournament Format:

  • The tournament signup period will last for 2 weeks (November 2nd - November 16th).
  • At the end of the signup period, the initial matchups will be determined by a random generator.
  • The tournament will follow a bracket format.
  • Each period of matchups will have a unique theme that you have to try and follow when creating your signature.
  • Each period of matchups will have a unique requirement that you must follow when creating your signature.
  • By entering the tournament you are expected to submit an entry for every matchup you take part in. This is important as failing to submit an entry can disrupt the flow of the tournament and will result in disqualification from the tournament.

 

3 - Submitting:

  • Submission periods will last for 1 week, taking place between voting periods.
  • When submitting your entries, you also have to include the original image that was used. A lot of different images and resources can go into making a sig, so all that is required is the main render or focal. If you use more than one, send them all. Feel free to send any other images you think as well, that you'd want to be included. If you don't send the original(s) I can't use your entry.
  • Submitting is anonymous, so to submit your entry, pm it to DaFaztFingaz and don't post it in the forum.
  • If you have any questions regarding your submission, feel free to pm me.
  • If it's still before the deadline and you decide to change your entry, you are free to do so, just pm me your new entry and state that you would rather use the new entry.
  • If you have a gallery here on the site, please don't add your tournament creations to it until after the tournament has ended.

4 - Voting:

  • Voting periods will last for 1 week.
  • Voting will be done in a separate thread that will be posted after each submission period.
  • Everyone is welcome to vote, and can vote for only 1 entry per matchup.
  • If you entered the competition, you can still vote. If you vote for your own entry it won't be counted.
  • In the result of a draw after voting is over, an additional day of voting will occur between only the entries that were involved in the draw. When that happens, the entries involved will be put to 0 votes and people who have voted before are free to vote again, the one with the most votes after a day will be the winner of that matchup.

5 - The Prize!:

  • The winner will have their entry put into the Hall of Fame/Statistics thread found here.
  • The tournament champion will receive a unique site award specific to the tournament.
