right on..... let's carve this in stone then:
1. Must confirm participation by being listed on the
official page (being created now) by noon May 31st. No late entries. (this page will be moving when the "Showdown" site goes live.)
2. No databasing, weird plugins, or hotlinking.
3. Tours must be uploaded and online by the start of the voting which will begin at 1pm (Pacific time). If your tour is not online by the deadline, you are disqualified. (no-brainer there)
4. Must be an adult tour. (cuz if we allowed mainstream and other shit, that's just an ugly place we don't even wanna go to)
5. Must be designed by the person named on the contestant list. (No buying or contracting a tour and putting it up.... anyone can do that)
6. Must be a NEW design... no previously made tours. There's really no way to verify this other than checking the image & file timestamps.
7. Entries must be flat tours only. No Flash, Shockwave, etc. allowed for competition. Showcasing for alternative sites outside the contest guidelines will be available.
8. Tours may not be blatantly designer identifiable until AFTER the competition. What this means is, the voting is going to be anonymous. You can't put your name on the thing or something so that people will instantly recognize who did it. If your particular style is picked up on, that's acceptable (and really unavoidable anyway), but don't "mark" your tour by putting your company url on it or something.
FEMALES: Because of the anonymity factor, do not build a tour using yourself as the model if you are obviously recognizable. We all know how many votes you could draw by doing so. ;-)
9. You may only enter one tour per designer for the competition. You may, however, enter as many as you like for the non-competitive showcase.
================================
wanna try to keep the rule list as small as possible, but if I missed something important, speak up so we can get it posted.
