RULES UPDATED & DEADLINE EXTENDED.

Welcome to the second week of Tempmas!

While the staff is still voting to elect winners for week 1 (announcement to be made before the 25th), it's time to start our second competition right now. Here it is!

Tempmas week 2: a photography contest! The rules are:

• Take a picture of your Christmas tree, or your Christmas or New Year decorations (or other current festivities)
• The picture must somehow feature Tempy, our mascot, and a mention to the year 2017 (to make sure your picture is not taken from past events).
• Tempy and the mention to the year 2017 must be real, not digitally added to the picture. It can come in any form: a printout that you hold in your hand while taking the picture, an actual decoration on the tree, a Tempy cookie -- the purpose of these 2 elements (Tempy & 2017) is just so you can prove the photo was taken for this competition and not stolen from somewhere else.
• In order for this contest to be fair for a greater number of people, the photo cannot be digitally enhanced via Photoshop or any other software. If we allowed it, y'all Photoshop mastas would add super cool effects to make the photo better looking. The only thing we will allow is, well, cropping, resizing, or rotating the image, obviously.
• Post your photo in this thread to enter
• No animations, videos, etc. Only JPG pictures will be allowed
• Enter before December 31st at 11:59AM UTC
• The winner will be designated through a staff vote, results will be announced before New Year's Eve

Prize #1: a brand new New Nintendo 2DS XL bundle delivered to your doorstep!

Thats pretty much what I had guessed happened.

I'm so excited to see who will win! Good luck to everyone. I liked yours Luke, it's definitely a lot better than many other ones. @Meteor7 yours is also really cool.

You're too kind. I'm a fan of your entry, as well.

Thanks a bunch. I thought yours was really cool, too, there was just so much to look at!

Yeah. It took about 1 and a half hours to do everything, since the end result was way different from the original and we went through a lot of different ideas for facial expressions.

Too bad I took down my tree. It was, well, dried out :/

Wait a second.....

I see nothing wrong here.

11:59AM UTC. AKA 1 minute before 12PM Noon UTC (which is ~2 1/2 hours away from this current post).

Last I checked, New Years Eve doesn't end until 11:59PM, so there's a whole 12 hours from there the staff has to vote and decide

Assuming, of course, that's what @Costello meant.

Oh. I had never noticed the time difference.

But it says they will be announced before New Year's Eve in the post, right? That's what my confusion was.

By the way, where does that thumb go?

 

[my2k2zx2]

My entry if it's not too late.

 

[Costello]

considering the lack of entries for this competition, we do accept late entries yes (not anymore though, its time to wrap this up).
I'm locking the thread, the rest is following!
