Cognizance aisuakuma Good judges is also a importaint aspect to look at. They should be people that you know are fair in rating, have been judges in the past, and that they won't favor one of their friends in the contest over others who have a better avatar. Last judges who work for free is a plus. biggrin Most definitely. I agree. ^^ I believe I mention that in the judges sticky in AT.
But do you thin that having the judges pre-determined and anounced is a good thing? Do people look at that prior to entering?Nena ...Oh and I have 3 prizes with a reasonable entry fee and not to much profit for myself. ex.. if your entry fee is 300 with 10 spots - 1st.prize 1100g* 2nd.prize 800g* 3rd prize 500g *. leaving you with a profit of 600g which you can play with ex.. best bumper gets a prize (keeping this a mystery) this way you can pay 20g each to the 5 best bumpers and still make a profit of 500g for yourself. Don't forget it should be fun so stay active. hope this helps Cognizance xd Most definitely! I like the idea of best bumper prize. I've seen that implimented in many contest threads. I think that's a good note to keep. ^^ And three prizes is a good thing. I've been only offering 1 prize, an unopened letter, in my contests. And I like to give a little something to my judges for their participation as well.
Miss Natsu Well.... Firstly theres always the entrance fee....
High fee = high prize We know that, but you really can't always think about that way... =\
I mean you could have a 5k entrance fee with ten contestants and the winner would get 50k, but I doubt anybdy would enter. The best thing to do is 100-300 gold entance fee. Then you could have 10... 20... 30.. contestants. And you know. It may take a while. But if you work at it, it might be a big hit.
But, then theres also the work you put into the thread. I always want to enter a contest when I see like they put work into their thread and you know its a nice prize and I don't have to ask anything about the contest because it already answered all my questions. Just you know, decorate up your thread, make sure to be very specific, but you know, don't make it so huge and hard to read that nobodys gonna join. Take about three to six posts, making people think its simplistic. People(n general here, this is mainly the reason people don't read all the rules in a rate me thread) hate reading through the whole page just to enter a contest or something. ^^;;
Then theres always the way to judge... If you have more than ten contestants, you can't use a poll now can you? No. Not unless you decide to split up the contestants for voting. But if you decide on judges. Make sure you know who (in AT, I'm not talking about your seven yea old kid sister) the people judging are. Know that they are fair raters. If you aren't a reg in AT or if you like aren't sure you want to trust your opinions on people... Then make sure you get the judges to rate you that way you know if they're good raters or not. People wouldn't want some noob deciding if they win your contest. =\ And also if you make a poll, do it in AT, sure, chatterbox polls will end faster, but AT is where we have style. wink XD
Oh! And make sure to seem nice. Because if I click on a contest and first thing I see the contest owner is throwing a fit and yelling at somebody and has a very short temper with the contestants. I'm not gonna want to join.
Aye, thats about it I think. ^^;; Hope I helped. ^__^
Oh! And I don't make avatar contests... >>;; Or join them to often. Mainly 'cause I'm uber picky. XD

Crawlerette Personally, I like the Avatar Contests that have a really interesting theme. Such as MAKE FOX ITEMS WORK!, PIRATE THEME!, etc. Put some thought into it, and it really gives people ideas. 3nodding
Grae Another thing I noticed tho was that contests with a second and third place fill up faster than that with just one prize.
