Title of event: Spiral Knights Anniversary Art Contest ( Over 190k Ce In Prizes)
Njpaloozart Fair :P
About this event:
This will be one of the biggest art contests for Spiral Knights. It will focus on drawings, sculptures, and any other type of art - excluding Fan-fics, poems, and any other textual art. I personally hope many players take advantage of this event and will create a lot of amazing art for Spiral Knights.
Why?:
It is simple, I love Spiral Knights art-work. I am not talented in terms of arts. If someone told me to draw a straight line for a 200,000,000 Crystal Energy (lets be honest, life runs on Ce not Dollars, Euros, or the Pound) I would fail.
When:
This contest will be starting right now! As in TODAY! The deadline for last submission(s) is April 4th 2013 *11:59 Pm Eastern Standard Time*. Winners will be posted by April 15th at the latest hopefully. =0

6. Do not annoy me as this will most likely get me annoyed. Keep in mind I am judging <69
7. You can edit your art, but if it clearly copies someone's idea or is edited after judging it will not be counted. *So edit it before the deadline <69*
8. Make sure you follow the rules listed for the category you're submitting for.
9. No porn or rule34 of any kind.
Judges:
As of right now this contest will only have Two Judges: myself (Njthug) and Digicom. Many of you guys may not know Digi. Since I feel it is unfair to well have only myself judge this contest, and many of the other players in this game who I can work well with are sadly in Eos. I had to try out the next best option a great friend who I trust, and can get along with very well. Oh and importantly someone who is destined to be in Echo of Silence one day.
About Digi --- He is a great guy he plays Spiral Knights for fun many of you might have seen him around with very expensive armor sets. He plays more in the Spanish Servers, and is the founder of a guild called Solo Art. He created a very nice guild hall with his own bare hands, and well honestly this guy is as honest as they come.
We are still looking for more judges, and currently the two others we are eyeing are:
1. Magic 8 Ball
2. Conch Shell
Certain art pieces might be judged by the community as a whole without you knowing it so in a sense players will be picking a few winners.

Questions you may have:
Will your guild members be submitting art work?
Yes, Echo of Silence members can participate in the contest. This contest is open to everyone in Spiral Knights, even Boswick, Ian, Nick, and the famous Cronus can participate. The only player that can not participate is me - Njthug.
Why are you letting your guild members submit artwork?
I want this contest to allow everyone to have fun and be competitive as well. I do not know if the members from Eos will be participating, but I do hope they do since we have a lot of talented artists such as Cobalt, Waffle, Yukaberry, and Mustacheman (2manytoname)!
What type of artwork can I submit?
Anything! It can be handmade artwork, macaroni drawings, a marble statue, a simple drawing on ms paint, or whatever else floats your boat.
