ACP Flippin' Tables (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ F'n Timeline Contest!
Or the FTFT contest. Or FT2 contest
Or if you're trying for Fairy Tail, then the FTFTFT contest! (FT3!)
Facebook went ahead with their threat and "upgraded" all pages to Timeline, which is a bane for us.
Because that means we have to set COVER PHOTOS for all our ancillary pages D:
We don't have the time to find exemplary cosplayers to feature on these pages and make nice cosplay cover photos.
So we decided to leave it to YOU. We're holding a contest for you to make cosplay cover photos for all our pages.
Arguably this is the BIGGEST type of contest we'll have since our span of ancillary pages does cover a huge amount of series and costumes.
(if anyone is crazy enough to calculate how much of our database is covered by his contest feel free)
My Little Pony? No problem, submit to Hasbro Cosplay.
Who's the best Samurai Warrior? Koei Cosplay it is!
Gintama goes under Sentai Filmworks.
Even Disney, DC and Marvel are covered under this contest.
RULES:
By entering this contest you grant ACParadise Networks the permission to post your photo to use as our cover photo for one of the pages listed below.
This contest is open to all ACParadise Network Members (Cosplayers AND Photographers)
Make sure you get the permission of all contributors to that photo (Cosplayers AND Photographer)
All contributors to the photo need to have a valid profile on ACP, ACE and/or ACS. (which will be verified by link)
Inappropriate cover photo content will not be considered (such as incorrect series)
PRIZES:
Well you get your cosplay photo plastered over the top of one of our ancillary cosplay pages on FB for who knows how long. And EGO BOOSTING. So if you do win, make sure you show it off to everyone!
HOW TO ENTER:
Find a COSPLAY photo that you think would be well suited for a cover photo on Facebook. Cover photos are 851 pixels wide and 315 pixels tall. It doesn't have to be exact, FB gives us wiggle room.
You can add text to make it all pretty, i.e. "Sailor Moon Cosplay hosted on ACParadise" "Cosplay Group: MooN'Sync" "Credits, bla bla" but that's optional (tho, it would help your chances)
An awesome example of a coverphoto is seen here: https://www.facebook.com/touhouprojectcosplay
Upload the photo itself to the wall of the Cosplay Page you are applying for and add the following to the description. Photos without 1-4 elements will not be considered.
1. Link to the actual photo on the ACP/ACE/ACS for verification
2. Series that the photo is from
3. List all Characters and Cosplayers with ACParadise Network Link to their profile
4. Credit the Photographer with ACSnapshots Link to their profile
