- Technical and Artistic Skill;
- Overall Impact of the Work; and
- Originality in the presentation of the portrait.







Maybe it wil be next year. Its pretty close to xmas.
also the prizes are most likely pre purchased and postage in one country wouldn't be as big of an issue.
However that's just a guess and I could be wrong.
However if I had to guess between now and the start of next week?
I don't think they would put up a time as judging can be very difficult and more time might be needed to choose the winers.
I know it's hard to wait around as the antisipation is killing everyone, but we should respect the judges carefull choosings.
From what I have seen Its not going to be a simple choice.
I have noticed a lot of artist who would have loved to submit artwork but unfortunately don't reside in Australia. :/
have the winners been announced? if my email were wrong and i did perchance win something would i still be informed or am I to assume that hearing nothing means I have not won anything? just worried about missing out on something because of the wrong email.
Surely it won't be my mediocre work of basically nothing XD
Again, well done to those amazing artists.
I was just saying well done to those I'm pretty sure will win
Sorry XD
i must try my best to win even tho my bro likes halo
"ends at 11.59.59pm (AEST) on 14th December"

This website was in USA time, so they made in Australia time instead of 14th Dec, so which means its should be ends before 12th Dec by midnight.
Hope this helps
Possibly this has been set up in America and they have miscalculated the day and time?
I would go by the count down to be safe, however you might be able to dispute if entry is after the countdown because they have stated 11.59.59pm (AEST) on 14th December.
However I believe the they have already extended this contest so if you have been working on some art you should have aimed to have it in by the 12th.
Oh well I will try my best to get it done! I have 13 more hours.
really hope you make it in on time, good luck man!
