As you may or may not be aware, there is a new skin contest live for this month with the theme of Underground Creatures. The description of the theme as on the official contest post.

“Very rarely do we see skins of the creatures that lurk beneath the surface of the earth, so this month we want you guys to create a skin based on either a real or fictional creature that lives underground.”

I personally feel this doesn’t give enough details as to what is expected.

As the theme for this contest is Undergrounds Creatures, you are expected to make a creature who makes their home underground, either surfacing very little or not at all. This means no generic humans, no above ground animals or plants (if you want to get tricky). You can make a creature, real or fictional, even simply made up with your own mind, which lives underground. There are many of them, for example: worms, moles, Morlocks.

Please, when you are entering a skin into the contest, MAKE SURE it has a description that is detailed and relates it to the theme, please. You may see these off-topic skins or skins without a description that relates it to the theme and wonder “What do I do?” Well, report it, use the contest disqualification option from the drop down box and type something like this: Example 1, example 2 (Yes, I asked the creator of the skin if I could use their skin for an example.) Please report anything else that breaks either the contest or site rules using the option relevant to the reason for reporting, help on reporting can be found here and here. We judges do deal with the contest reports just like site, forum and chat mods deal with reports in the respective areas.

So, hopefully this helps with the contest theme and clears some things up. We WILL disqualify any skins against the site rules (if we get the chance to before a site mod) and anything against the contest rules, no exceptions. Thank you for taking the time to read this, good luck.
