Tev, I will definitely join the ceremony!
Tev's Great Big Contest is over, but she'd love your feedback! Snubear! I finally finished your picture!
Hello everyone!
Welcome to my art and writing contest event, where you don't necessarily have to be skilled to win something; just interesting. If you're not an artist or a writer, stick around, because there's stuff for you to do here too.
The contest will run from 12:01 am EST (GMT -5) on September 1, 2012, to 11:59 pm EST (GMT -5) on November 30, 2012.
And Now, the Winners!

How to Win
- Enter the contest!
- Your entry can be a piece of art, a story, a poem, an animation, or a SpiralSpy piece, depending on the category you enter. There are several categories to choose from, several prizes in each category, and prizes just for participating.
- Be awesome to each other
- I'll be giving out citizenship awards to those who show exemplary support and encouragement to the entrants, or who are generally helpful within the thread (i.e. politely providing answers to questions I have already answered but the person may have missed, making good suggestions, etc.)
- Just show up!
- All non-spam posters will get an entry into a weekly raffle. There will be an additional raffle at the end of the contest for all posters.
- Attend the awards ceremony!
- There will be door prizes and possibly games during the event.
- Play games!
- Each week, there will be a different game happening in the thread.
Rules
Rule-breakers will get no more than a single warning before being disqualified, either from the contest or the weekly raffles, depending on whether or not you are an entrant. For large infractions, such as mass-spamming, flaming, or obvious TOS breakage, I will not warn you before making a report.
- All posts and entries, as usual, need to follow the Spiral Knights TOS
- No spamming. A bit of chatter is fine, but I like my topics to stay on topic.
- No criticism of the entries. If an entrant specifically asks for critique of their work, only constructive criticism is allowed.
- All rules here also apply to any threads linked from here. Misbehavior in my Stone Field Borough thread, or any threads containing entries will be treated as though it were misbehavior here.
- Do not enter anything that you yourself did not create; this will result in not only immediate disqualification, but you will be barred from any future contests I may hold.
- You may enter no more than three times, in different categories.

That sort of comment is not going to make you any more likely to win. In fact, it will annoy me because that sort of thing is not what this contest is about, and I'm currently determining subjective awards. So now is a bad time to annoy me.
Please only regard the Short Fiction as the prize wishlist and extend that to all 3 of my entries. Thank you.
Will do!
Alrighty, updated the price list for my entry!
I plan to attend to there might be some stuff that could stop that, so I cant say for sure just yet.
Ok my updated list is on my original knight submission (Post #932) and is valid for both of my entries. Also, I will probably not make the ceremony because my girlfriend and I will probably do something for our anniversary that day, so have a great time guys!
About 4-5 more days until the ceremony =) I think I will be able to attend.............
(And 11 more days until the "end of the world" ^^)
The ceremony is on the Saturday now? Yay! I should be there. In one form or another.
Sorry Tev!
Forgot what's that time again. If my calculations are correct, then maybe i'm coming! But still, someone who's nice pls. tell me the time for the award ceramony in Hong Kong time!
Hey, I'm just joking. Sorry about that, Tev.
Because I have no chance to win, I..... I'm just gonna sit in the corner and think of what I have done. ;_;
@Topoyozada
I do believe that the time in Hong Kong is the same as the time here in, my country :P (Don't live giving away too much personal info :P) GMT+8000 I believe. Since the ceremony is in the morning, we have a 13 hour time difference....................So in Hong Kong time, the ceremony is at about 8pm at night for us...................I think..................
My brain is papaya mash today.............so I wouldn't be surprised if I did my maths wrong :P
Editied my prize list on the Spiralspy entry
Edited my prize list @ page 23.
Hmm I live in GMT+8 too.
Since EST is GMT-5, that's a +13hr time difference for me.
21:00 + 13:00 = 34:00 = +1d 10:00 (10:00am Dec. 16)
I'll be there if I don't have exams on that day...
Tev,
I should be able to make it to the ceremony - I'll have to leave at about 10, but I'll be there (unless something dastardly comes up).
No prize list edits.
So is it !0:00 AM, or 8PM?????
pls. help! Well, if its at night, i can (NOT) come, sorry for that! But if its 10:00 am on sat, I'm okay
If you're in GMT +8, it will be at 10am Sunday for you.
Dang it.... I won't be able to attend since it's at 8:00 CST.... so...
My congratulations ahead of time!
@ Tev & Topo
It would be 10am on Sunday the 16th for Topo right? 13 hour difference, like what arkalpha said.
Hey Tev,
Should I just repost a new entry form with my new prize preferences or can you just change it? (You posted my entry because I was unable to access the SK website). I would like to change my first 3* prize for the Imperial Tricorne. Thanks!
If that's the only change, that's fine; I can keep track of that much. ^.^
Prize Preferences:
Participation - Enamorocks, CE, CR
1* - Divine Bolted Vee, CE,, CR
2* - Tri-Heart Pendant, CE, CR
3* - Imperial Tricorne, CE, Silver Key, CR
4* - Volcanic Wings, Sniped Stranger Hat, Cool Cat Tail, Sniped Stranger Hat, Shadow key, CE, CR,
5* - Mewkat Monster Pocket, Solstice Prize Box, Nemesis Prize Box, CE, CR
Updated prize list. Did it on my post too =3
I hope I'm not too late to vote!
My prize preferences, that is.
I only changed one thing though so there shouldn't be much of a problem. xD
Updated my prize list. I'm probably gonna make it to the prize list.
I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be able to attend the ceremony.
I don't think my prize list is going to change, but I'll let you know if I choose differently!
Hey Tev, for those that won, after the ceremony or whatever, can you tell them why they won, like what they did well, what stood out, and also what they could have improved on or lacked? I'm sure everyone would appreciate having an idea of what they're good and at what they could do better on! :D Thanks!
I have apparently been banned from Spiral Knights until the end of the semester, so I don't know my chances of going to the ceremony. Pretty slim is all I know. However, I may have a chance for an exception, for that day is also my birthday. I am going to cross my fingers and hope for the best.
As I said in an earlier post, after the ceremony, anyone who wants a critique of any kind can get one, either here in the thread or privately. I figure that some people will want to know, others would rather not, and some people might not want any feedback they got broadcasted publicly. That, and they can decide individually what kind of feedback they want ... some people may just want some gentle commentary, while someone else may ask for blunt critique.
@Yttriu: Oh gosh! Hope you can make it, and happy birthday in advance!
And in advance, good luck trying to handle all these unruly people. XD
If I'm not there, have fun!
Oh, really? I'm sorry I didn't catch that! lol Oh and Happy B-day to you too Yttrui in advance... I'm sure you'll make it =P
I wanna be there. Just to see Tev & Co. in-game, that would be nice...
It's impossible.
BTW, Tev, if you have the time AFTER the competition's over, can you FINALLY check the site? That would be a very nice thing to do.
If you have no idea, I'll PM ya in-game. :P
(We talked about this in the Stoneborough thread.)
Yup, I'll take a look. I just write so little fanfiction that it hasn't really come up ( I think the last piece I wrote was three months ago, and that was me just typing up and editing a short I had finished a few months before that)
Sorry, if its sunday, i cant come :(
CHURCH!
After looking through the prize selection again I decided to go ahead and post a whole new prize list (if dat's ok). Thanks!

And I do not believe I can make it to the award ceremony. Sorry. Thanks so much for hosting the contest, I've had a lot of fun (and stress). :D
What would be the time that the ceremony begins in GMT -5?
@Sergeantwrench - That's fine! ^.^
@Phantomhamachi - Ummmm ... the time listed is GMT -5. >.>
So I can attend the ceremony because 9:00 is usually not the time I hit the hay, expect me to be at Lionheart Guildhall a short amount of time before the ceremony begins.
If you're planning on attending the event, it would be really nice if at least some people got there a little early, as we have to give everyone raffle numbers before we start. ^.^
I'm so sorry, I couldn't participe in voting, my computer broke down for a week.
I just got on today after repearing, so... you know.
Sorry again, and I'll check if I can go at Award Ceremony.
I've changed my prize preferences for each entry, note that all three entries have the same preferences.
I should be able to make it to the Ceremony - but I may not be able to stay there the whole time, depending on how long it takes.
Certainly looking forward to it, and slipping in an extra thanks for what you have done for all of us. :D
I think I can't attend the ceremony, because I'm doing a visit to my brother's home at December 15.
Is the date and time for the ceremony are final?
Remilia gave me a new question, how long are you expecting the ceremony to last? And will you also put up a schedule based on how many people are coming and stuff, as in like 9pm EST beginning, 9:20pm EST, blah blah? :)
Also, you said previously that all entries can only receive one prize, so does that mean that we can only win ONE prize for whichever entry gains the highest prize? Or does that mean you get ONE prize for the highest prize won from EACH entry you submitted, meaning multiple prizes for having multiple entries? And are there any exceptions to this?
One last thing, how do the Exemplary Awards work? You said no one may win or everyone may win and it's hard to impress you, but isn't this one somewhat similar to subjective awards?
I know you're currently REALLY hard at work and really busy, and I'm really sorry if you've explained the answers somewhere else or in some other form. Thanks Tev in advance!
Like others, I've decided to change some of my prize preferences for my entry.
Participation- CR, CE, Hallow Bolted Vee
1*- CR, CE, Divine Bolted Vee
2*- CR, CE, Jack O Bombhead Mask
3*- CR, CE, Shifty Eyes
4*- CR, CE, Shadow Key
5*- CR, CE, Toasty Valkyrie Wings
This prize preference list applies to my earlier entry, a poem.
Also... a question. If Melbourne is GMT+11... what time will the awards ceremony take place where I live?
Thanks again. :)
GMT+11... that would be a 16 hour difference, I think.
probably about 1 pm Sunday.
In-Game Name: Don-Atropine
Entry Title: Spiral Day
Updated Prize Preferences:
1* - Bomb Bandolier (Pumpkin), CR, Goggles (Dusky)
2* - Weapon Slot, Canteen (Fancy), CR
3* - Fractured Mask of Seerus, Silver Key, CR
4* - Shadow Key, Sniped Stranger Hat, CR
5* - Nemesis Prize Box, Fancy(or cool if available) Valkyrie Wings, CR
(Ordered left to right)
@Uruk-Hai: It's alright. Things happen. ^.^ Hope to see you there!
@Myqpalzm: Yes, the day and time are final. I just finished speaking to St-Leone regarding use of the guild hall.
@Hexlash: The event will take at least half an hour, although how long it takes beyond that will depend on how much order I can keep and how fast people get answers to the trivia questions during the game sections. Also, whether we get started on time (there may be a few minutes delay if everyone shows up exactly at 9pm and we can't even start handing out raffle numbers until then). How many of the winners show up may also affect things a bit, as Sol will have my contest alt at the event to give out prizes to those present as they are announced. I'll do my best to put up a schedule the day before.
As for prizes, it's highest prize per entry. So if one of your entries wins a 4* prize and another wins a 2* prize, you would get both.
The difference between the exemplary awards and the subjective awards is that the subjective awards are in addition to placement awards, while exemplary awards are instead of placement. Also, there is only one category that has exemplary awards, which only one person entered in, so most people needn't concern themselves with it.
@Fallenhope and Kimahsonite: Yup. 1pm Sunday.
Thanks to everyone who's getting their lists updated!
Sorry, but I can't join the ceremony because my wifi is throttled and so it moves at the speed of a slow thing. A very slow thing, and so it won't update spiral knights so I can't play.
Also, do I need to vote for anything to be eligible for a prize? (Not that I'm likely to get one :P) Because I don't really understand the voting thing and also, slow wifi so I can't really look at things without waiting a year for my internet to load the page.
No, you didn't need to vote to be eligible to win anything other than the voter's raffle.
K, time to update my prize list. Only gonna change one thing, though.
