Welcome to the SC4 Devotion Picture Competition! Here are a few guidelines to help everything run smoother:-Although it's not necessarily a rule, pictures should generally follow the website rules of
1024 pixels wide. Vertical mosaics are allowed as long they aren't too long. (use common sense here) Picture bigger than 1024 should be resized using the BB Code
[img width=1024], and must be in the
JPEG (.jpg) format. This is mainly for the sake of those with slower internet connections; you won't be disqualified for not following the dimension guideline, but you may lose votes. However your picture will be removed if it is in PNG format. (PNG should only be used for maps and other graphic pictures)
-If you cast the last vote for a round (even if you send a picture to the Hall of Fame), you have to wait
at least 30 mins. after casting the vote before posting a challenging picture. If you do not wait, all votes are void and the round is halted until the 30 mins. have passed, giving other people an opportunity to post a picture. If no one posts a challenge, then your picture goes through and
the round starts over again, 0 votes to 0 votes.
-The first picture to get
eight (8) votes is the winner. If neither picture receives 8 votes in 24 hours, the picture with the most votes is the winner. If the pictures are tied, the next vote decides the winner.
No picture will receive more than 8 votes in a contest.-To win a round, a picture must have a minimum of
four (4) votes. If after 24 Hours passed and neither of the pictures has reached 4 votes, the round will continue until one of the pictures gets 4 votes, then the next challenger can compete and the next round can start.
-As the challenger, it is your responsibility to include the picture you are challenging in your post. Also, if your post put the round into a new page, make sure you bring the pictures with it.
-If either picture is not working for any reason, please do not vote. Report the broken link and we as a community will allow 2 hours for the link to be repaired. After which time a new challenger can challenge in place of the picture that is not working.
-All pictures must be posted by a member of SC4D and be the original creator.-You can find the official rules
