The celebration has started!
Welcome to the Official Pokemon Sprite Contest!
This contest will allow Pokemon Spriters to show off their work by entering either the Recolor or Mutation contests. Everyone is welcome to join, from master Pokemon spriters to brand new people who are just starting to learn the ways of spriting. The instructions should be somewhat self-explanatory, but if you have any questions feel free to PM me or post on this thread.
Some basic rules:
1. No spamming. We want to keep everything as organized as possible, and if there is too much spam it will be harder for us to find the entries for each contest. If you post it would be appreciated that the post was either an entry or something that has to do with this thread. (questions/comments)
2. No flaming. Please, if you think that someone's sprite isn't that good, you may give constructive criticism, but please don't go too far with it. Leave the judging to the judges. However, if you have a compliment or some advice for someone, feel free to post it here.
3. No bribing the judges. If we find out that you have bribed any one of the judges, you will be disqualified from the contest.
4. All work must be your own. It's unfair if you claim someone else's hard work as your own, and if we find out you will be disqualified. That's why we ask you to only claim your own work.
5. Please save your images as .png because it gives us better quality. Here is an example submitted by FENRIS_WOLF:

6. First place winners of the week may not enter the same contest that they won for one week. This only applies for Recolors and Mutations, not for the week's Special contest.
7. Have fun. I think this is self-explanatory.
