Contest Announcement! Fan-art of our mascot, Unity

Starting today, the Full Moon of February! (Yes, I know I'm a day late) Canines-Unite is proud to be holding it's first contest since the group came under the ownership of hsoJ95 and since we got Super-Group.

Contest Theme
When we launched as a Super-Group, we unveiled our mascot, Unity! Made by the wonderful Sidonie:


Well, it is time that Unity gets some fan-art! The contest will center around making art for and about our mascot, Unity. What is your take on him? Is he a brave warrior? A strong Alpha pack leader? A caring wolf with a mate? You decide that!

Contest Winner Prizes
What would a contest be with out prizes for the winners! Here are the official prizes:

1st place will get 12 months of premium membership courtesy of alienwar42 and a request for a drawing from LupusDream

2nd place will get 800 points courtesy of alienwar42

3rd place will get 500 points courtesy of alienwar42

All three winners, and possibly more, will also get the honor of having their fan-art placed into the official "Mascot" folder alongside the official painting of Unity made by Sidonie!

Contest Rules
The contest will end on the Full Moon of April(April 4th). All entries must be entered by April 4th to qualify.

There is a new folder called "Contest Submissions: Unity fan-Art". This is where all submissions for the contest will go. Submissions to this folder will be automatically approved. Please be responsible and only submit your contest entries to this folder.

All contest submissions must follow the general rules of the group. No extreme violence! No hateful themes! No sexual content! Unity is not a porn star! Do not draw him as such!

Failure to follow the rules will result in a disqualification from the contest and, if the violation is serious enough, a ban from the group! (This will happen if you don't follow the general rules of the group!)

Please try and follow the general color scheme from the official painting by Sidonie. It doesn't have to be exact, but that is what he looks like. For art to be considered as a good or great entry, it should follow his current color scheme closely!

The entries can be in any form of art that the group allows. Digital, traditional, craft, even literature if you so choose!

Closing Thoughts
Being that this is the first contest that the group has held in a very long time, several years at least, I hope that everyone likes these style of contest! While these kind of contest won't be very often, you can expect maybe one more this year, maybe two more.

I hope everyone enjoys making fan-art for Unity and I hope everyone has a good time!

Sincerely,
hsoj95
Alpha of Canines-Unite
