March VinylMadness 2013 Rules

Calling all custom artists. This March, Destination Vinylmation will be holding the first annual March VinylMadness contest. Vinylmation fans will be voting in a bracket style play-off to determine their favorite custom figure.

Here are the rules for submitting your custom vinyl creation:

Eligible Vinyls are:
Any custom created by you.
Since Vinylmation started.
Any size or platform of Vinylmation.
Accessories and sculpting is allowed but we are only accepting individual figures (no sets or dioramas).

Submit up to three customs and rank them for us in your email. Your first choice is guaranteed to get in.
Multiple entries will depend on number of entries we receive and will be determined by Destination Vinylmation. Deadline is February 14th, 2013. The contest will start in March of 2013.

To enter, send an email to DestinationVinylmation@gmail.com with the following info for each figure:
Name of figure.
Date made.
Artist name (to be hidden during contest).
A photo of the front of the entire vinyl.
We would also prefer two other photos (to show off back/details/unique parts) but not required.
All photos need to be of the finished Vinylmation.

Additional notes:
Artists are welcome to pimp their figures on their own sites/facebook pages/twitter feeds when voting happens, in fact we encourage getting the word out, however please no negative posts toward other artists or figures. This contest is to help create awareness for and enjoyment in the Vinylmation community of custom work.

If you have any questions feel free to email us. We’ll answer these questions and then add those answers to this post.
