Secret Santa Event
Like last year, the team of The Gallery invites people from all over the forums and community to join us in a fun Secret Santa Event!
Info
For those of you who are not familiar with this method, this is how it goes: Each forumite that signs up gets a name, and will need to create an artistic gift for them. Each forumite who signs up will also receive a gift from someone, don't worry! The names are assigned randomly, so there is no way that you can tell who is making your gift!
Stage 1 Stage 1 is over!
The first stage of this event is the easy one, signing up. Signing up will start today (December 1st) and will end at December 10th at 11:59 PM, server time (EST).
Signing up will be in this thread, and after it will end we will move to Stage 2. Specific information about Stage 2 (Times, deadlines, etc.) will be given when Stage 1 will end. Remember, currently Stage 1 is signing up. Any further details about the gifts will be given at Stage 2. Yet, if you are worried that you can't draw in Flash or don't own an expensive art program, no reason you won't be able to make a gift, any medium will work!
Also, I have another special request, which will also require signing up. From my past experience with this kind of events, there are always problems. Your computer die, something sudden happens, and thousand of another scenarios. It isn't the fault of anybody, but one of those scenarios can result a forumite who won't get their gift!
Therefore, I need volunteers, which we will be able to PM and ask for an extra gift. You don't get an extra gift for volunteering, but making sure that all of the people who made a gift will also receive one is a noble goal by itself. Post in this thread for volunteering.
Stage 2
Signing up ended, with so many people that signed up. Stage 2 is the gift making stage. Each of you will receive (Or received already, upon reading those lines) a PM from me with a name of a fellow forumite. You will be making a gift to that person. As I've stated before, the gift can be any kind of artistic gift, not just digital art. Also written art, a sculpture, and everything else you can think of. Last year someone even made a song!
There are absolutely no limitations to your gift. Any filesize, any dimensions. Remember one thing though. Plagiarism isn't accepted, not when regularly posting in the Gallery, and especially not in special events.
All of the gifts must be sent to me through PM until December 24 1:59 PM EST. The early hour is because of timezone constraints.
Also, I'm sure all of you would like to send a gift to a specific person, on top of the person you will be assigned. If you do, please send it to me, and I will include it in the gift delivery thread.
Last year, the delivery of the gifts was delayed because not all people who signed up for the event, really made a gift. With the help of lots of volunteers we were able to make sure all those who made a gift also received one. This year, I'll ask in ahead from few volunteers to make some general gifts, which will definitely be better than very last minute gift. Also, I want to emphasize again that if you won't make a gift, I can't guarantee you will receive one.
Please help me make the event as fun as it should be by fully participating!
Let the fun begin!
