RESULTS- VN SLO Show Jumping Grand Prix

RESULTS.


<sup>I was amazed at how many lovely entries this competition got, and I wanted to place so many of you! .. however, with 25 people entering, 22 will surely be disappointed. I don`t want any sore losers! Thank you.

I enjoyed judging this A LOT, and since I had all weekend free, I was able to finish the results already. I tried to judge as fairly as possible, and I ended up downloading your pictures to judge them without knowing who they belong to (with few exceptions that i knew too well). RNG was a bitch and I`m really sorry for one or two that got very few points because of that, but since RNG is only 15% of the score, it didnt affect your final placements that much. I noticed that a lot of points were also gone because the stories were missing, and because rules and details were ignored.

Anyway .. I saw some amazing entries, I enjoyed this competition, and I will surely hold more in the future. Prizes will be done in asap, I hope I will be able to finish them this week, but with all the christmas gifts, secret santa and all that I can`t be totally sure.</sup>

NOW ON TO THE RESULTS!

Thats it.
I will try to get the prizes done in asap. For donated prizes, please contact their donators.

I hope you enjoyed the event (i certainly did), and I hope to see you in future DNS competitions.

If you didnt place, please dont be sad or angry. I was very generous with the effort points, nobody got less then 40/50 and i tried to be as fair as possible. If you didnt place it must be due to bad score in RNG, improper background/tack/obstacle, missing story, ignoring of the rules etc., or maybe simply because others did extra art and had a lot of past experience already.

If anybody wants to know their score and how many points you got, note me.

                                                _______


Only 2 more days left to get your entries/extra pictures/training pictures in! I will officially close the competition on the evening of the 16th at 10pm, because I won`t be home on the 15th anyway. So I decided to give you guys some more time to send in those entries. However I won`t except late entries, so make sure you send them to me before 10pm.


Deadline extended until the 15th of December. This gives you guys a bit more time to finish the entries.
And you can still register, since I extended the pre-registration until the ending of the show.





DNS invites you to the Grand Prix show jumping event that will be held this autumn. The course will be very hard, so bring only your best horses.

-Only horses that are 7 or older can enter. Riders have to be 18 or older.
-Pictures must be full-body.
-At least one jump has to be visible in the picture.
-No other people`s linearts, or tracing. Referencing is okay, so are photo backgrounds, but keep in mind that self-drawn backgrounds will give you more points.
-Make sure you draw the right tack for the horse. If you aren`t sure, google some pictures.

-Your start number has to be placed on either the bridle or the saddle pad. Saddle pads have to be white, but may have a colour trim.

Extra Artwork
You will get extra points if:
-you draw a training picture specifically for this event (it can be only a quick sketch).
-you draw an inspection picture for your horse. This is optional and if you don`t draw this you will still be able to participate in the event. But drawing one will get you extra poins when judging.
-you can also link old show pictures and training pictures for credit.
-if you want you can draw your characters interacting with any member of DNS staff or any other participant. Any picture that is related to this event will give you +2 points.




JUDGING
-You can get up to 10 points, decided by the rng.
-You can get up to 50 points for effort, originality, overall feel of the image and amount of details. I will compare the picture to your gallery, so if your entry is crappy compared to some other pictures, it will effect your score. I will judge by effort not by skill, so you won`t get compared to other artists, but only to yourself.
-You can get up to 10 points if you have a self-drawn background. Photo background can earn you maximum of 7 points. The amount will depend on how much of the background was photomanipulated, how much was self-made and how it looks overall.
-You can get up to 10 points for following the rules (right weather, time, tack etc.).
-You can get up to 10 points if you write a story.
-You can get up to 10 points if your horse has entered shows before, if you drew an inspection picture of your horse and if you drew a training picture for this event. Old training pictures can also be linked for credit. But keep in mind that ALL extra artwork done specifically for this event will earn you more points.
-You can get +2 extra points if you draw any of your characters interacting with any member of DNS staff or any other participant. +2 points per picture.
