NON GIF SHOOP CONTEST V8 IS BACK!

Shoop by @Reach4theSky​

NGS v8 will be a two round event. Round 1 will be for UFC 275 - Teixeira vs. Prochazka, Jun 11, 2022. The top 20 Shoops will advance to the Final Round which will be for UFC 277 - Pena vs Nunes 2, Jul 30, 2022. Entries will be due 72 hours after main event start time. *Note that all times and dates will be for USA East Coast (EST).

The title of the contest is self explanatory. There will be no animated gifs allowed. Single frame, static images only. No storyboard shoops. We will limit this to the first 40 people who sign up and then we will take alternates. All contestants will be added to the Sherdog Shoop News PM Group (SDSN). If anyone else wants to sign up for the SDSN click here. Now let's get this party started!!

******************************* PRIZES *******************************​

Thus far we have $230 in prizes.
$60 @Arqueto, $60 @Natural Order, $50 @Otto!, $40 @bigwaverider, $20 @Ace70 V2​

Donations are welcome. We do Amazon "eGift Codes" which can be purchased here. PM the code to @bigwaverider with "NGS v8 Donation" somewhere in the title. Even a $5 donation is awesome. We always need $5 chunks when dividing the prizes, so it will come in handy.​

---------- Previous / Old post:----------​

THESE ARE THE RULES AS OF RIGHT NOW. THEY ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Note that anything typed above and in the Contestant PM's are also part of the rules.
******************************************************************************************************​

• First and foremost, at all times you are responsible for knowing the rules in the OP of the contest. NO EXCUSES. Anything added to Contestant PM's will also be considered part of the rules.

• If you want to sign up, post your intentions in this thread and tag @bigwaverider. Make it PERFECTLY CLEAR that you want to enter. Do not just post a .gif as your intent to sign-up. It will be ignored. Do not say "IN" or anything else that can be misinterpreted. "I want to sign up @bigwaverider" would be a good response.

• Make sure you are entered under the "Contestants" list at the bottom of this post. It's up to you to make sure we have seen your post and that you are entered. This is VERY important. I will reply to every entrant that I see but please double check that you are on the list.

• If you sign-up and have to bow out, please give @bigwaverider a courtesy PM so that any alternates can be notified that their spot is open.

• Entries will be submitted to @Arqueto in a P.M. with your Username and “NGS v8 Entry Round1” in the title. For example "Arqueto
NGS v8 Entry Round 1." Make sure to put the proper "Round" number at the end. This means to use "Round 2" for the final round. If it is not titled like this, I may not see it. Do not submit your entries until after the UFC events are over. I get a lot of PM's and it's best if all the entries are together and titled properly. If it is not titled properly or if it is entered days before the contest it may get lost and overlooked. If you have a compelling reason to enter it early, them PM @bigwaverider and explain. There are always exceptions.

• The deadline for submission will be 72 hours after the respective UFC Card's Main Card start time.

• Voting will start shortly thereafter and last for 3 days.

• You can start early if you want.

• Shoops must relate to the respective UFC events or build-up.

• One entry per person.

• Images should be in .jpg, or .png, format.

• Single frame, static images only.

• No storyboard Shoops. A storyboard is a muti-frame, comic book style image.

• Do not post your images anywhere on the internet before or during the contest or you will be disqualified.

• No re-using old shoops or shoops made by others.

• You can use whatever program you would like. You can make it on a cell phone, tablet, computer, or whatever else you would like.

• Do not put your user name in the name of your file.

• Do not use any external images in your entry that can identify it as yours. We have had a few entries where the contestants are using their avatar and/or their buddy's avatar. This will easily identify it as yours and since this contest is anonymous, this will not be allowed.

• NEW RULE!! No self voting. We have limited votes and this will help spread the love around to the other hard working contestants.

• No vote trolling. You will be banned from further contests including ISL and MSPaint. This means in no way are you to ask or coerce others into voting for you.

• No threads about specific entrants until after the contest.

• We will determine the winner by combining your total votes from both rounds. Whoever has the most votes wins.

• If you have any questions, ask in this thread or P.M. @bigwaverider. If you think your entry is in any way against the rules, P.M. me so that it can be OK'd.

• Rules and prizes are subject to change.

• (this has been updated) Contestants: Do not attach your images to Sherdog or they will not be accepted. Use a proper image host. I recommend https://imgur.com, https://ibb.co and https://imgbb.com/ or you can use your own. We do not allow images hosted on Photobucket as they have a user name in the URL. We *ARE* allowing images to be hosted by https://ibb.co and https://imgbb.com because they fixed their bandwidth issues.

• Don’t forget to thank those that donated. They believe in you and the scene, so show them some support too.

Good job on the head placements in the contest poster BWR, I still think that's one of the most important aspects of shooping

Amazing. Nope, not recently at least.

Only thing I'm certain of is that people will be shocked at how bad it is. It is what it is.

haha. I made that poster rather quick last night. as i was making it, I told @Arqueto that no one has ever commented on the posters before. you just proved me wrong!!

and yes i agree. head placement is important. The guy on the right was actually a white man. I had to make him a black guy for the poster. See spoiler for the originalimage.

Spoiler

NGS is the only contest I ever make posters for. We have @Chuck's old "logo" for ISL and nothing for Paint. This is @chucks ISL logo. I promised I would keep it as the official logo when he gave me ISL like 5-6 years ago. (sometimes i have been known to fook with it by adding a shadface here and there haha)

let me tell you something brah. the "idea" is the vast majority of the shoop. come up with a good idea and you can do well. the technique and skill play second fiddle to the idea. good luck!!

oh.. and read the rules. it would suck for your image not to be accepted for soemthing silly. i will send out some contestant PM's too. make sure to read them,

 

[Arqueto]

and nothing for Paint.

I made this in Paint for the last contest.

Thanks, yeah I made sure to read it before replying. Shouldn't be any problem.

 

[Shaddows]

you guys are too good for my whitebelt level of shoops.....

 

[Arqueto]

Just sign up bud, talk a load of smack, and then if your shoop doesn't do well just tell everyone you didn't understand the rules and they were lucky.

Worked for me in my first shoop contest. I talked a ton of smack, got my butt kicked, and lived to tell the tale.

 

[bigwaverider]

I made this in Paint for the last contest.

oh yea!! my bad. we could use that one again. it's really good.
