Objective:

draw your character(s) doing something their country's people do in fall! Can be celebrations, fall work, or any events that happenned in the country this fall.
NOTE: Draw them in the season they currently have! So if your country is in the southern hemisphere or near the equator where there are only two seasons, you wouldn't draw them like, preparing for winter..
You can include as many characters as you want in an entry.

Rewards:

- 130-300 rank points per entry
the number depends on two things:
- how complete your art is (i.e. sketch, flat color, shaded, etc.)
- the originality of your idea (so if you do a holiday specific for the country or draw an event of what actually happenned in the country this fall, you get more points than if you draw something that is celebrated in practically the whole world
- all entries that get 250 or more rank points will be put in a raffle! The winner gets a fully shaded drawing with detailed background (up to 2 characters) from FoxyPika.
I know the rewards are not much, but this is to separate events from contests.

Rules and Requirements:

- common sense but adding it just in case: Don't steal other people's art!
- You can draw as many characters as you'd like, and you can enter as many times as you'd like!
- both traditional and digital art is allowed.
- if you want to do edits to your entry after you've already submited it, they need to be done before the deadline! Also, edit the original entry, DON'T make a new one if you just did a few edits! Thank you!
- OFFICIAL CHARACTERS ONLY! THIS MEANS THEIR REF MUST HAVE BEEN SUBMITED TO THE GROUP!
(you CAN submit an entry if you haven't submited your chu's ref yet, but you must ALSO submit the ref anytime before the event's deadline. If you fail to do so, you will not get any kind of rewards for your work.
of course, if you haven't even claimed your chu yet you should do that, first, otherwise it will be counted as "unrelated art" and not be allowed in the group.)
- also, if there was anything wrong/inaccurate about your chu's APPEARANCE (this mostly refers to flags on the wrong ear and similar big mistakes, not the small things), please fix it up before deadline as well, or discuss with us admins if you could keep it the way it is, before the deadline! And your entry would include the fixed character! Thank you.
- must be something that would actually be a thing in the country your character represents! i.e. if celebrating Halloween is not a thing in your character's country, don't draw them celebrating Halloween. I WILL check if your chu's country actually has whatever you drew them doing! The consequences of not following this are the same as entering with characters whose refs are not in the group; you will not get any rewards for it.
- bear in mind geographical location! if the time from September-November is not fall in the country your character represents, do not draw them in fall. Instead use whatever season their country has in that time. Again, I will check this; and if you entry doesn't meet the standards you will not get any rank points for it.

Inb4 "but shouldn't members still get rank points for effort, even if their entry doesn't meet the standards?" No. Because the rules are here for a reason, and I can't tolerate them being ignored. Besides, if there's anything wrong with your entry, you will be informed of it as soon as possible, so you'll have enough time to do another one. Unless you wait until last day to do it, but that's not my fault..
If you are not sure what season it is in your character's country, or if you don't know whether or not the country celebrates certain holidays or does certain works, just ask! I'll try to help, but note that I can only tell you whether your idea is legit or not, I can't come up with ideas instead of you as that would be unfair to other members.

End date:

November 21st (may be extended if a lot of people ask)

Oh, by the way, there may be another event coming up in the near future. We still need to discuss some details, but I highly recommend you look up what exactly did your country do during the FIRST world war.
