 We will ask you to choose from both semi-final polls the artwork which you like the most. The first 3 artworks which receive the most votes in each semi-final poll will go to the final poll where the winners will be chosen.

1st SEMI-FINAL poll -> 10 (or less) artworks to choose from -> top 3 go to final poll
2nd SEMI-FINAL poll -> 10 (or less) artworks to choose from -> top 3 go to final poll
--------------------------------------------------------------
FINAL poll -> 6 semi-final artworks to choose from -> 3 AquaChallenge winners

 The time to vote for semi-final and final will be each 5 days.
 In case there will be more than 20 entries, we will do as follows: AquaChallenge - HOW TO VOTE
 Everyone has one vote - also the participants!

I'd love to participate, but I've submitted my work to fast ;___; I forgot about this Aqua Challenge and did it on 7th February does it count or do I have to submit something new?

"This AquaChallenge starts with February 19th 2019 and ends on April 7th 2019, 23:59 Central European Time (CET)."

You have to make something new.
But there's still time to submit something.

Hello! I wanted to submit my art but it says I can't ;___; "only 1 deviaton per 30 days per-folder" I didn't upload anything to that folder but I uploaded something in the group. Does it means I can't participate? Because I submitted something to another folder this month? Pls help, I'm sad now ;___;

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

TokyoMoonlight In reply to jointshadow [2019-04-05 16:17:26 +0000 UTC]

Yes, you probably did submit to the folder...half of the submissions I get from members are submitted to the wrong, AquaChallenge folder.

And you probably did it again.
Because the AquaChallenge folder is set to 1 per month, the regular members submission folder is set to 1 submission per day.

If you have an entry for the contest, just submit it to any folder you can, and tell me it's for the AquaChallenge. And I will take care that it gets to the right folder

jointshadow In reply to TokyoMoonlight [2019-04-07 10:15:08 +0000 UTC]

I don't remember if I did such thing but you might be right. So.. my fault!

I submitted my artwork to the "Member Submissions" folder. It's called Deer sky .
If you could move it to the right folder I am going to be forever grateful for your help!

TokyoMoonlight In reply to jointshadow [2019-04-07 10:25:42 +0000 UTC]

I will my friend, but first you have to do something
Didn't we forget something, or not read the rules carefully

"Please mention the AquaChallenge in the description of your artwork so that we know it's supposed to take part in the challenge." 

Well

Awesome. I think the last AquaChallenges we tried to make them run for 1 1/2 months When we had the poll, the votes were equal for 1, 1 1/2 and 2 months...so what do you do? Take the middle

GeorgeXVII [2019-02-19 20:34:49 +0000 UTC]

Hi , do you accept watercolor combined with some acryl ? 
I'm not used to use only watercolor and for this reason I don't have some colors ... I have them but they are acryl . 

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

TokyoMoonlight In reply to GeorgeXVII [2019-02-19 22:02:06 +0000 UTC]

Yes, but they have to be diluted with lots of water so they LOOK like watercolors...so acrylic washes are ok. It has to look transparent and not opaque if you know what I mean.

GeorgeXVII In reply to TokyoMoonlight [2019-02-19 22:28:03 +0000 UTC]

I understand it! Thanks , unfortunatelly I don't have enough experience working with watercolors and lots of water .
I'll create an artwork with this theme but without participating because for sure the colors will look opaque !

Looking forward to see all the entries

well, I can give the usual and the creativity!

I theoretically could participate 
eh, are collabs allowed?

TokyoMoonlight In reply to LualaDy [2019-02-19 17:58:33 +0000 UTC]

Oh, you mean creativity prize
Ok...you are the first and the only one for now
Which means you get the job

May I just ask how much points?

Well, collabs...we could say that you got "help" by someone if 2 artists make the artwork. For now I don't think that collabs are ok. But! I think that this would make a great AquaChallenge. That all entries would be collabs.

LualaDy In reply to TokyoMoonlight [2019-02-19 18:07:16 +0000 UTC]

I would LOVE a collab event at this group
even if it's not a contest, I will 100% participate
