Welcome to the Championship 2012!
Welcome to theEpics, the platform where the Championship competition is held. What is this championship you say? Well, it's very simple, it's a contest with several rounds in which you'll battle another fighter/artist (who signed up for the championship as you did). You'll be randomly paired up, and you'll receive a random word from which you'll have to create your entry. After having submitted your piece to the group's gallery folder (which you'll receive a link to via note), a group of judges will then vote on which of the two fighters wins. If you win you move on to the next round and the whole thing starts over. The Championship ends when the last round, with only two fighters, ends.

So you want to participate in the Epics Championship?
The Championship allready started. Want to participate next year? Watch the group or become a member - next year we release a journal to let everyone know they can sign up. It will be around the same time as this year.
Some things you need to keep in mind:
- Make sure the dates of the Championship work with your availability as while we won't make you sign a contract, other fighters will depend on you participating since you'll be fighting one on one to make it to the next round. If you forfeit or drop out, whoever you're battling in whichever round will suddenly be without an opposing fighter. So please check all the dates of each round as you can't sign up for only one round.
- While you've been given the general themes of the rounds, don't start working on them yet as each pair of fighters will get a sub category (Which will remain secret even if you try to bribe the judges UNLESS, you bribe us with ONE MILLION DOLLARS!) that is related to the general theme. Those won't be revealed until the day the Championship starts.
- Any media is allowed with the exception of literature! (Not that we don't like written pieces, but the judges only get one day to vote, and it's too short a time period for us to do that on literature entries!)
- You won't be battling the same fighter twice.
- Rounds will start on a Monday and you'll be able to work on your piece until Saturday. Sunday is where the judges will judge who of the two fighters will go on to the next round and then Sunday evening after midnight, it'll be revealed who's won the round, which fighter you'll be paired up with next, and what theme you'll be working on.
- You will receive a coin with your username on it, stating that you are a fighter in the Epics Championship 2012
- And a chibi version (see the box below for the ones already made) of yourself will be made as well!
- If you have any questions at all, please send a note to the group, ssst or LineBirgitte and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Championship F.A.Q
- Q: Is this only a vector competition, or?
- A: No, all media is allowed with the exception of literature!
- Q: Why not literature?
- A: The judges only get one day to vote, and it's too short a time period for us to do that on literature entries!
- Q: Will you ever allow Literature in future championships?
- A: Possibly, if we get a lot of demands for it, then we'll work out a system that allows literature!
- Q: Do you know who I'll (as a fighter) will be competing against?
- A: No, we pick the pairings at random and we don't even pre-sort you guys in media similarity or skill similarity, it is truly, completely, utterly and irrevocably random
- Q: What are the prizes?
- A: There's a large and detailed prize list here: What are the prizes?!
- Q: Who are the judges?
- A: You may find their chibis (with integrated links) here: Who are the judges?
- Q: Is this an OC contest?
- A: No, it is not meant as such, but if you want to you can certainly use OCs in the rounds.
- Q: I don't understand anything!
- A: All the answers to your questions can be found in this journal! If you so happen to have a question of which the answer you can't find on the page? Please send us a note!
