Summer Strut Contest: Beach BBQ [FINISHED]

[heather]

Beach BBQ
Magis and the gang are throwing a barbeque at Heavyside beach! However, they have a pretty strict dress code for the event. It’s time to get snazzy for a day of fun!

Explanation:
The objective is to create an entire user theme based on the contest theme. All of these attributes must be customized for the event:
User profile photo
User signature
User profile banner
User about section
Awards are optional

Rules:​

1. All users must physically partake in the customization of their theme (such as manipulate the photos or illustrate. Essentially, you can’t have someone else make the entire thing, or take it directly from google without some editing.)​
2. Missing an attribute will not disqualify users, but it will cause point penalties​
3. No explicit, violent, or offensive imagery is allowed​
4. There will be a short grace period after the deadline, however, no accommodations will be made to mitigate any disadvantages​
5. Collaboration is allowed, however, users must mention this in their submission​
6. Matching themes are allowed but they must be distinctly different and only one will be eligible for each place​

Rules are subject to change within 1 week of the deadline. Once June 23rd passes, accommodations for any missteps will be taken.

Submissions:
Submissions will include a DM to me with the subject "[Username] - Summer Strut." This will include this form:​

I understand that once I submit this message, I can no longer change my theme until the judging period ends.	Just a "yes."
Explanation/background on your submission.	Try to stay over 25 words but under 250.
Will you be including your awards in your submission?	Just a "yes or no."
List any users who contributed to this submission:	If alone, just list yourself

Judging:
Judging will be done on a 100 scale. 75% will be based on peer judging. 25% will be based on my judging.
The highest voted person will become the max, and the users following will be graded on that ratio.

For example, if soozie gets 30 points, and Outro gets 28, then soozie will have a full 75% for her score (max), while Outro will have 70%.

Once judging opens, a poll will be posted. All users on the forum will be allowed to cast their vote for their favorite theme(s.)

For users with private profiles, simply send over a screenshot with any information you'd like to protect censored.
All submissions will be displayed in a gallery.

Voting will be open for one week. Of course, the objective is to have everyone vote for the most pleasing to them visually, so try to not sway votes.

As for my voting, the theme is pretty loose! Don't think too hard about it, just have fun. Of course, I appreciate craftsmanship but all effort will definitely be noted.

Prizes:
First place: 30 orbs
Second place: 20 orbs
Rest: TBA (will depend on sign-ups)​

Yes!

Yes, it is the theme!

For the explanation, it truly is optional, just recommended. I really just meant that it should be substantial but not long.

why is the deadline over a month away?

These tend to take a bit more time for people who get more involved. Also, there was no rush. I can move it up if everyone would like?
