Well come the 7th August I'll have been on this DA account for 5 years. So as part of my DA birthday celebration I'm running a contest! Well this is probably going to be all I do for the celebration but I'm going to run another when this one is over and when its my actual birthday in a couple of months!! (I'm getting old )

So like I was saying... It will be 5 years come the 7th August this year, and I have decided to overhaul my account and my identity. I have changed allot since I first joined the DA community, including hopping from my original account to this one after a month. No I'm not changing accounts, much as I would like to change my name on here now, it still has meaning to me so I'll stick here. But my deviant ID has been serving me since October 2004 so I think the ol girl deserves a rest now. My icon is not quite that old but I have had it for a year or more at this point. And yes I'm starting to try out different CSS layouts!! (is very confused)

Right to the point now... Yeah I ramble allot!

EDITS:

Well today Is my 5th Year on DA! The contest is now closed and judging will be starting. Be patient and we will get this done as soon as possible!


Ok I have decided to do an EXTENTION! I'm totally exausted from traveling today so I wont be awake at midnight (was up at 4am GMT to get on a plane) SO this means that the contest will now end on Thursday 6th August! No set time here, so when I wake up on the 7th any entries submitted after DA thinks its the 6th will not be included.

I'm clarifying the end time of the contest. As I will be in the UK when the contest closes I will be closing it at Midnight BST(GMT) I will log on if I can to check for any last minute entries. After that entries wont be counted, sorry.

Now that I have recieved my first entry I hope put a link in the journal so you can view them if you want to! If you dont want to go rumaging for where they are in the journal they are here [link]

Just added a Questions section to put the questions and answers I get asked in regard to the contest, that way everyone can see them.

I'm making changes to the end date as well as adding a new rule I decided to add more time to make it easyer to remember. See below for the Contest info with changes.

Contest!!
Basically I want YOU to design ME a Deviant ID based on the theme I'm going give you and a little info on myself. Sadly I wont be accepting poetry or prose to this contest but I will be running a contest that includes them at Christmas. I already have an idea for it!

Note ME With ANY Questions!!!
Having written all this I know that to many it will be confusing. So please if you are confused and have any questions note me. I would hate to have anyone miss out on a prize because their submission didn't fit the (confusing) brief.

Questions Asked
Do I have to use the uniform shown in the reference stuff?
Answer: No you don't, your welcome to make up your own uniform or do something totally different if you have an idea. Just remember to try to keep it in character.
Can I draw a chibi?
Answer Yes, if chibi is your style then draw a chibi. I'm not going to tell you what style to use or not use, as long as it fits in all the rules and theme of the contest go with it!
Do you dislike all witch hats?
Answer No, [link] was the kind of hat they used in the movie. I have never liked it. However the traditional style of witch or conical hat like [link] I do like.
Are magic wands ok?
Answer Yes, while I can't clearly remember mildred having a wand, real life practitioners can and do use a wand in rituals.

The Theme Is - Mildred Hubble from The Worst Witch [link]

I am Mildred BUT please remember your not making a Mildred ID, I guess the best way to explain it is that if the worst witch were real life I would be Mildred. So make the ID for me using the character of Mildred as a theme, kind of like a cosplay I guess.

Personal Info
This is to help you come up with ideas that are more ME like. If you want to know more note me and ask. All answers will be put into this Journal so everyone has access to the information!

Mildred Info
Worst witch info can be found here: [link]
I dont expect you all to have read the books, seen the movie, or the tv show so hopefully this will help a little.

Likes / Dislikes and ID Text - Optional!
Some ID's have text on them, as you can see from my current ID I haven't had much if any text on there in the past. I'm a font junkie and think script can look pretty and artistic too so please get creative with this if you do it! If you want to put text on the ID you submit please use the text below.

Favourite Worst Witch Quote
From the Movie - Grand Wizard - "Once in a purple moon, there is a special young witch who shines above the rest. Often she goes unnoticed, because she is always out of step. I have seen this girl trying to fly. Oh yes, I have. I've seen her at play and how her friends treated her. A true witch isn't always one who comes out on top of the tests. A true witch has witchcraft in her at all times, and this is what you have, Mildred Hubble. And so, Ms. Cackle, I ask you to make the rest of the day a half-holiday."
