GENERAL INFORMATION
Welcome to the Signature of the Week with your host, Unlimited.
Your judge is only Unlimited this time who will give quality checks
to each of your entries to ensure quality wins when you publicly vote.
In addition, your judge may allow a 2nd place winner
to have an opportunity to stand in the SOTM competition.

SOTM is where the top winners of a particular month compete
in a similar style for Signature of the Month.
1st Place in SOTW earns you 15 rep and exclusive entry to SOTM.
2nd Place in SOTW earns you 8 rep.

The winner of SOTW has the next theme of choice.
But do note Freestyle is banned
for the simple reason that it lacks creativity.



ANONYMITY RULE
SOTW will take entries completely anonymously!
In this act to totally remove favoritism, all entries will be anonymously
and privately submited via PM to Unlimited.
You may not submit an entry in this thread.

Voting will continue with each entry marked with a number.
Once voting is complete, the next SOTW will begin
and all of the previous entries will finally be credited.
Let's say no to favoritism and enjoy our first anonymous SOTW.

When you send a PM to Unlimited,
make sure to state your Theme of Choice in case you win.
You may freely update your signature by sending a new PM.

You must also note NOT to use your name in any way
to let users associate you with your anonymous entry.

Finally, fair competition!



AUTO-HOST RULE

If some unforeseen issues arise,
the SOTW from now on will go precisely to schedule
without burdening duty to one person.
SOTW will now feature the 'Auto-Host'
where a user automatically fires up a thread immediately
to our organized schedule of Mon-Fri entering and Sat-Sun voting.
by being notified of all prerequisite information
including the theme of choice, entries, and special rules.
from the main host or a judge.

Certain allowed people may also opt to host.

Never again will a week be over seven days.



STRICT REQUIREMENTS

◘ All rules to be abided by including default dimensions
unless special dimensions are provided with the theme.

◘ MUST have a Theme of Choice given with a PM. Not just an entry.

◘ NO reference to your identity whatsoever due to our anonymity rule.
This now includes URLs!

*quick tip*
Send your entry in early to receive feedback
in case it does not meet the criteria.
Otherwise, it may be exempted from competition.




Last Week's Winner: Baked

This Week's Theme: Cars

Weekly Theme Tips!
◘ Search in Google Images for "awesome car"
◘ Avoid modern by choosing futuristic or antique cars.
◘ Use hot or cold colours relevant to your stock's texture or colour.
◘ Ensure your stock is high quality.
◘ Use soft and heavy brush outlines appropriately.
◘ Consider an extravagant scenery.
◘ Develop depth into your scenery.
◘ Add more renders, but don't overkill.
◘ As always, enjoy yourselves.





DISCUSSION RULES:

1. Only constructive critique/criticism on entries is allowed
2. No insulting of any kind, this may lead to disqualification
3. Do not go off-topic, this subject must always be related to this week's edition
4. Do not complain about the theme
5. If you wish to report a entry for what ever kind of reason, VM or PM Unlimited.

I'm sure many of you have not liked quite a few themes from time to time. Starting next week, this should never be the case again. To elaborate, when I say 'dual themes', I mean two theme choices rather than one.

One theme will be the theme of choice chosen by the previous week's winner (as usual), but the other theme will be chosen by me, relevant to the theme chosen by the winner, and in cosinderation of any themes chosen by other contestants.

I am happy to announce that a new thread will be collecting a post each from you (when you announce to join in the relevant competition thread) for every SOTW you join where others will be asked to +rep you if they like your entry, and where an "AC Web Competition Profile" will be kept of your status (not just in SOTW, but also upcoming competions).

Next Monday not only sees the brand new stylish SOTW, but also a recurring music competition.
So enjoy!

And remember to send your PM TO THIS ACCOUNT!
(the flooded inbox is just tempoary)

I just realised with the addition of the 'click to +rep' feautre for entries in future, the anonymity rule may have to be discarded. If that's the case, something else will need to replace it to ensure fair competition. But please, always vote for what you honestly see as the most charming, engaging and true to the theme entry (not like how you voted last week). Again, any suggestions I'll accept.

But to recap, competition profiles will be individual posts in a locked thread maintained by me and will be updated as you win personal achievements, levels, and competitions overall. This is not just SOTW, but other things coming up also.

Unlimited Points will also return, and probably under a new name (so not to be egocentric). They will compliment +rep prizes, the new +rep opportunity from third-party voters, and a few other nice rewards.

Unlimited ain't thinking about the nature. Think about all those cars which is ruining the world! I think we should only have smart cars as theme.

If you have not entered for a while, do enter some time. All of your participations for as long as I have hosted SOTW will count towards your competition profiles.

Half of the potential candidates who have entered in the past seem to have discipline themselves to not enter any more as if it's a sin. But I'm encouraging you, give it a shot. And remember to PM Ultimate this week, not this account.
