• Size: Approximately 320 x 480 (With GM approval you may be allowed to make larger ones for important NPCs)
  
• The Cutin doesn't have to look exactly like its NPC version, but try not to make it completely unrecognizable.
  
• The background has to be transparent (for RGB: 255-0-255, for Hex: #FF00FF). The npc itself must not be transparent or have any semi-transparent pixels. If it's not at 100% opacity it will make the pink background not exactly FF00FF, which will be noticeable in-game (usually a quite ugly pink outline on the image). And please, don't use anti-aliasing.
  
• If you want to check if your image is ok before sending, open it in photoshop, use the magic wand with a tolerance of 1, select the area around your npc, turn that white or black, see if you have a pink outline that shows around your npc, if so, you gotta make it go away!

• How many prizes can one win?
  Answer: For submitting a worthy entry, you will get a participation prize. If you win on any category, you'll get the headgear and choice pack, and if your submission is selected to be added to the server, you'll also get an old card album.

• I'm not great at digital drawings, can I do them by hand?

• Can my entries win more than once?
  Answer: You can win only once per category, regardless of entries. For example, you submitted 2 amazing card arts, but can win only once on the card category. However, if you submitted cutin art or a video, you have a chance to win again since it's on a different category. In total, you can win up to 2 times this way.
