Okay, so technically it's the "No boobs for Mike" contest, but "Covered Chests" seems more appropriate since it's not a gender specific contest. And hell, it rhymes with contest.


ANYHOO, after much debate, I've decided to make this a dual category contest. Why? Let's face it.. since I am a completely shameless boob whore, I freely admit that a photograph would hold more judging weight with me than a drawn piece of the same image. So, the dual category takes that temptation off my mind, and hopefully will make more people enter since they know a drawing won't be held to the same standards as a photograph, and vice versa. Make sense?


      

So yeah, this contest is ENTIRELY about denial, as you can plainly see from the nomworthy image above, sadistically provided by the lovely ~Littography , my own Aina by *DesingAHV and ~Whazizname 's yuri masterpiece. Your challenge is to deny me. That's right, the shameless boob whore you all know and despise is clearly stating that I actually want to be denied. Drawn or photographed. Are you up to the task?





The contest starts as of right now, and will run until midnight, June 26th. Winners will be announced on July 1st. So without further ado, here are the guidelines for each category:


Art Images


1. Breasts or chests MUST be covered. The degree and type of coverage are up to the artist. Remember, the idea is to DENY the full view, not revel in it. ( Man, I must be losing my mind... ) The rest of the character can be covered or uncovered. Entirely up to you.

2. Entries MUST be posted after the contest start date.

3. Entries MUST have the contest statement somewhere in the image. Any of the following are acceptable, but if you have a better idea, I'm always open to suggestion.

*No ____________ ( boobs, breasts, chests, cleavage, rack, nipples, etc )  for Mike/RTalon235*

4. ANY character/characters are permitted. If using a character belonging to someone else ( a friend, copyrighted character, etc ) , then acknowledgement and/or permission MUST be made in the comments. My characters are available as well if you want to use them, but it won't earn you any extra leverage.

5. Multiple entries are accepted, as are commissioned works from non-artists. In cases of commissioned pieces, the prize goes to the commissioner, so make sure you're commissioned artist is aware that it's a contest piece. Any "deals" made with a commissioned artist are the responsibility of the commissioner to honor, not me.


Photo entries


1. Breasts or chests MUST be covered. The degree and type of coverage are up to the photographer/model. Remember, the idea is to DENY the full view, not revel in it. ( Man, I must be losing my mind... ) The rest of the image can be covered or uncovered. Entirely up to you.

2. Entries MUST be posted after the contest start date.

3. Entries MUST have the contest statement somewhere in the image. The statement CANNOT be photoshopped in. As with the reference image the contest is based on, the statement must be a part of the original image. Write it on paper, use body paint, have a placard, whatever. Spell it out with Cherrios if you want... Just don't try to fake it. I will find out. Any of the following are acceptable, but if you have a better idea, I'm always open to suggestion.

*No ____________ ( boobs, breasts, chests, cleavage, rack, nipples, etc )  for Mike/RTalon235*

4. Since I know that some folks are, shall we say "shy", you CAN submit a cropped image that does not reveal the model's face or other identifying areas ( tattoos and such ). HOWEVER, in the interest if fairness, the uncropped image MUST be shown to me in private so I can verify that it is legitimate and not a random piece "borrowed" from another source. No, you don't have to send it to me. Just note me with a link so I can do a side by side comparison.

*** IF someone wishes to enter completely anonymously, that can be arranged as well. I will create a temporary id so entrants can participate without identifying who they are. Unless of course your real name is "Entry A" !

5. Multiple entries ARE accepted as long as they are unique pieces. For example, The same model with the same pose/sign from 3 different angles does NOT count. The same model with 3 entirely different poses and levels of coverage IS accepted. As they say, the more the merrier!

6. And finally, models MUST be of legal age in the United States - put bluntly, 18 and over.


The booty

For each category, there will be a first place and second place winner - 100 dollars cash to the best artwork, 100 dollars cash to the best photograph. 50 and 50 for second place. A total of 300 of my hard earned dollars you have a chance of getting your hands on. Let the madness begin!
