Contest Rules

EDIT MY ART 2022 v08 - Diptych option

This real time contest is open to all FAA artists and members.
To give you time to create, it runs two weeks for submissions with a one week voting phase.

There is a new group for EDIT MY ART CONTEST enthusiasts where you can add your artwork, get it featured, and archive all your EDIT MY ART entries and more. Click group Icon to join. (Recommended, but not required for contest participation)

Suggested THEME: DIPTYCH
(THIS PART IS OPTIONAL. Just an added element to challenge yourself or focus your thoughts. Images won't get deleted for not being on the DIPTYCH theme.)

However, the following RULES are absolute and specific!
PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THESE RULES:

A VALID ENTRY WILL HAVE THE FOLLOWING FOUR QUALITIES:

RULE 1:
You MUST EDIT an image from my art portfolio.
Reference site: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/only-a-fine-day or https://only-a-fine-day.pixels.com/galleries.html
Just select something found ANYWHERE in my ONLY A FINE DAY images or collections and modify it, however you want.
If an image has or needs to have privacy settings... well, don't submit that one. If it makes my mother blush, it's not allowed.

*Rule 2: IMPORTANT to avoid plagiarism and to activate Fair Use:
YOUR DESCRIPTION MUST HAVE referenced material listed (name of original work referenced) AND include this copyright release statement -- Used by permission of Only A Fine Day.

Rule 3:
Upload date MUST be on or after the start date of the contest. Include the date you completed the work in the description, on the work itself, or via the upload date. (PERMISSION to modify EXPIRES with the conclusion of the contest); however, once made and notated, the resulting image is yours although it MUST retain proper credit and notations (Rule 2).

**Exception: Those who entered a previous ONLY A FINE DAY EDIT MY ART CONTEST with an VALID image that DID NOT WIN A FIRST PLACE STATUS, you are good to try again with that image, if you choose to do so, regardless of date.

Rule 4:
GO TO THE CONTEST DISCUSSION TAB.
Post my original work plus your version of it using EMBED Codes.
Consider it a Footnote to your work.
Add your additional comments, too.
Follow this rule to get my vote.

That's it. Simple.

**Any artwork not rooted in one of my images, will definitely be removed from the contest.
**Any artwork that ignores Rule 2 will be considered either plagiaristic or a breach of Fair Use or both and will be removed. I will comment on all valid entries.
**Any artwork uploaded before the start of the contest date will be removed from the contest, except as provided in Rule 3.
**And of course, all artwork that does not comply with the rules will be removed from the contest.

Be inspired. Be creative.
Draw it, paint it, modify it, collage it, deconstruct it, blend it, whatever and however you are moved.
I'm pretty flexible on what you do as long as I can recognize that you started with MY art.
If you distort it beyond recognition, you definitely need to tell me what you did in the contest discussion tab, or risk deletion.
If an image has or needs to have privacy settings... well, don't submit that one. If it makes my mother blush, it's not allowed.

Live links and additional detail available in the contest discussions tab.

Looking forward to seeing what YOU do with MY artwork.

HAVE FUN AND GOOD LUCK!
