Art Contest Rules

Deadline: All art must be received by YAOiFEST by August 3rd, 2009. Please upload your files through our Contest Entry Form:



Prizes: 50$ CND for 1st in each category

Contest Theme

YAOiFEST’s theme is ‘what’s your flavor?’ Submitted art-work should reflect YAOiFEST’s theme. Your interpretation does not have to be literal or obvious, but there should be some connection.
Art Content

There will be two categories for judging. Lemon and Lime. Art submitted to the Lemon category must be rated mature. No Shota or underage characters. If any character is not identified as over 18 or visibly over eighteen your artwork will not be accepted. No sexual situations involving animals should be depicted; anthropomorphics are acceptable if as they are humanoid and have human sexual anatomy.

The second category is Lime. Art submitted to this category should not depict sexual acts, masturbation or full frontal nudity. Pinups with sexual anatomy covered, kissing, cuddling, hugging and fluff are acceptable for the Lime category. Art should depict a man or men only, no women even as background characters. This is YAOiFEST! We want Yaoi!

Professionalism

All art should have a clean, professional appearance. No rips, tears, glue marks etc.

Contest Details

Art will be judged in the first half of August. Depending on the number of submissions we may have one, two or three winners plus runner-ups. Winning entries will also be put into YAOiFEST’s Silent Art Auction, proceeds to go to further YAOiFESTs!
