[Challenge Reveal] The Amazing Digital Countries
###Hello travailing technocrats, enterprising electronics expounders, and digital diviners!
The world is what we make it, and as long as we've had hands to shape it, we've been innovating ways to rend our world anew. Fire and iron gave us forge plowshares and swords, steam and steel let us build far, wide, and high, and now with the power of the sun in the palm of our hand, the crucibles to write thinking machines out of silicon, and the glass to throw light across the planet, we advance ever further. All we set our minds to - from the first wheel to the latest supercomputer - is technology, and the paths we pave with our creation are ones we are ill-equipped to head down ourselves. Ingenuity only gets us so far, after all, and you can't innovate natural wisdom out of the hole artificial intelligence dug for it - at least, not unless you're willing to go back to your hands and work it all out yourself.
#Make a comic about technology!
Specific Contest Rules
- This is a naturally broad theme, so we're gonna give a good amount of leeway as to what sorts of technology you can focus on, so long as your comic does focus on said technology.
General Contest Rules
- The comic must have a minimum of 3 panels and a maximum of 8 panels.
- The comic must have been written and drawn entirely by yourself.
- No animated GIFs accepted.
- No photorealism.
- You must follow the rules in the Official Polandball Tutorial.
- The deadline for submitting your entry is Thu July 16 at 15:00 GMT
In order to participate in the contest, submit your art piece to the subreddit and then flair it as contest entry. Anyone is free to submit how many entries they like, however, only one of your entries will be eligible to award you with hussar wings. That is, a single user cannot have more than one entry be in the top three.
If you wish to participate in the contest but are not yet an approved submitter, you can send in your comic to us as if it were a normal approval comic, and once approved you may post your entry to the subreddit.
Choosing the winner
After all of the entries have been submitted and the deadline has passed, the moderators will take a private vote to decide the first, second and third places. All entries will be ranked from 1 to 10, with the final score being the average of all votes. The winner of last month's contest will also be allowed to vote on this month's entries.
Once all of our votes are tallied, the full list of results will be posted in an Awards Ceremony thread. The artist who receives the highest score will be awarded the Hussar Wings, which they will keep around their username indefinitely, as well as a pair of Golden Wings next to their flair until the end of the next contest. The Hussar Wing recipient will also be able to vote with the mods on the entries for the next contest.
The artists with the second and third highest scores will receive the Silver and Bronze Wings, respectively, which will act in a similar manner. Fourth place will receive the old Mod's Choice Participation Ribbon.^TM
Important
Before you submit, please check your comic against each point of the rules. Every contest we have multiple disqualifications (sometimes of fantastic comics) because some entrants don't read the rules properly before they start drawing.
As always, if you are not sure whether something you intend to do in your entry is compliant with the rules, you can message the mods and ask.
Any questions about the contest may be directed here.
Good luck and happy drawing!
