Humongous, bananatastic art contest giveaway!!

Hey Monkeys!  In honour of Mutt's new Gallery update, Viper and I (Calypso) got together and planned a HUMONGOUS, BANANATASTIC art contest!

Viper and I have been planning this contest with the help of the whole MiniMonos Staff for weeks!

It is HUMONGOUS so there will be HUMONGOUS PRIZES! Let me tell you what the prizes are, then Viper will tell you about the contest.

For the prizes, everyone has a chance to win one of these:

Prizes:

• 2 x 6-Month Memberships.

• 4 x 1-Month Memberships.

• 2 x 10,000 Banana Chips.

PLUS some of the winners art will be displayed IN-WORLD on MiniMonos in Mutt's Art Gallery!

And everyone who enters will see their art in the Fan Art Friday video, on the Go Bananas blog. Be sure to check that out after the contest!  Now Viper will tell you the rules and some more awesome things. Have fun and good luck!

Lol 'ello there monkeys! Everyone is really excited including the whole staff and Calypso. We have been anticipating this huge giveaway! :D

Now the theme is pretty much 'MiniMonos' itself. It's up to YOU to use your creative minds and think outside the box for your entries. :P

Theme: MiniMonos

So using software on your computer such as Paint or Photoshop (or it may be hand-drawn), draw or create an artwork expressing what you think MiniMonos is all about. If it is hand-drawn, you can scan or take a picture of your artwork and upload it.  Then just submit your entry by adding the link to the comments on this blog post.! :)

Here's an example of a picture I drew a while ago for the Earth Day 40th Anniversary:

For best results, click on the image so you can see the picture clearer and better. :)

Each monkey has a maximum of 2 entries.  It would be great to write your monkey name on your drawings and/or graphics too!

Competition end:  Aug 17th [USA-time]

This competition will be 3 weeks long, so you monkeys should have enough time to think of and create your entries! ^.^

 -- Viper

Good luck everyone!  We can't wait to see all your awesome work! :D

Just a quick reminder, if you think you're not a good artist, it doesn't matter in this contest!  What matters is the thought and how hard you worked on it.  It isn't about the quality of your art but how you express your thoughts about MiniMonos. We want to see your best, no matter how good it is.

So hurry up and get those entries in! :D

-- Viper & Calypso

Wow!!!  This really is humongous!! Do you know, monkeys, that Viper and Calypso donated all of these prizes themselves!?  This means that they purchased all of these memberships and banana chips especially for this competition, for you! That's Bananatastically, humongously generous!!!!

We are saving spaces in Mutt's gallery for our winning art!  There are heaps of chances to win, so good luck artists!  Remember, it's the effort that counts, not how good you are as an artist!

[The Golden Gaming King]

Let me get this straight... the x means how many? So like 2 x 6 month memberships means two 6 month memberships?

[Viper [Blowsight10]]

Yup that is correct 'The Gold Gaming King'! ^.^ the 'x' means the amount of prizes given away for each specific prize. :)

Why don't you try to actually draw or create some more and if you want to enter two better ones, then just tell us Cptodayiscool? ^.^

Here is my submission :D http://i25.tinypic.com/k2ipdv.jpg

Remember too, Cptodayiscool, its about effort, not how good it looks. You can really tell when someone has put effort into something, or if they took a shortcut and just cop and pasted something like that. So just remember, be creative, and there's nothing wrong with just doing a picture on the computer :)
(You could even copy and paste one of the ColorIn pictures onto paint and color it in :D)
