Popular Post deboratibi Posted November 8, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2015 **Last updated by Nielo on September 5, 2021** Welcome to The Daily Neopets' brand new official contest, The Runway! Dress to Impress will be used to create and share your entries. Once your best entry has been chosen, submit it through a Private Message to Nielo. Please use the following entry form when submitting your entry for the current theme. Anyone with a TDN forums account may enter. As this is an official contest we cannot offer prizes in the form of items or neopoints. However, don't let that discourage you! We have something special prepared for The Runway winners! Thank you to the owner of Dress to Impress for allowing us to run this contest! The current contest theme can be found in the most recent "Enter the Runway #..." thread, which is linked to on the front page of TDN, and in the most recent edition of The Runway. * To enter the contest and/or vote, you must be registered to The Daily Neopets Forum AND you must validate your account. * Otherwise, you won't be able to post or send Private Messages. If you don't have an account, click here and follow the steps. It's quick and easy! HOW TO ENTER: Create your entry at Dress to Impress (you can also use the HTML5 beta version of Dress to Impress). You are free to choose ANY pet and ANY items from the database, unless otherwise stated. (You may also choose to enter your own pets' outfit, if that's what you prefer, just make sure the entry can be viewed in Dress To Impress, and not just on your own user profile on Neopets.) Fill in the entry form below and send it to Nielo via Private Message*. Make sure you are logged in/registered to The Daily Neopets Forum. If the image DTI provides isn't showing all the items properly (which happens quite frequently, like with Dyeworks items showing up the wrong colour, moving items not showing up in focus (or at all), and things like mist looking weird), you can send a screenshot instead. Here's a guide on how to do so. ENTRY FORM: Entry Name or Title: Outfit Image: Outfit Page/Animations Link*: Character Story (optional): *To clarify, both the outfit image and the outfit page links can be found on the 'sharing' tab on DTI. The image links are labelled with their size (please use medium or large) and the outfit page (= animated link) is right above them: RULES: No voting for yourself! Do not try to manipulate the votes in any way, such as creating multiple accounts to vote for your entry. We can tell. Don't re-enter an entry you've already won a trophy with in a previous round. (If you've entered that particular entry before without winning anything, you're free to enter it again, provided it fits the theme, of course.) Edits to your existing entry can only be made during the submission dates. Only use DTI or your own pets' outfit as your submission. No use of image editing programs. Do not use the trophy images unless you have permission from deboratibi, Nielo or the Customization Team. Banner images are available for anyone to use. SUBMISSIONS: Entries are to be submitted to Nielo in a Private Message (PM). Entry must fit the chosen theme. If not, you will be asked to change your entry. Unconverted pets may be entered! Only one pet per entry (per person) unless stated otherwise. If you would like to edit your submission, you can add it to the message you already sent, or send a new message.* VOTING: Separate voting threads will be created for each round. Thread will be titled, "The Runway Votes #..." All submissions will be previewed and a poll will be created. Votes may only be cast in the allotted time. You can vote for as many entries as you like, except your own. Voting for yourself will result in disqualification. WINNERS: 1st Place will receive a gold trophy and will be featured on the main site sidebar. 2nd Place will receive a silver trophy. 3rd Place will receive a bronze trophy. Special thanks to Shelley for allowing us to use her original trophy art! Do not use these images unless you've earned them in a previous contest. * If Nielo's inbox is full (it's been known to happen), you can tag her in the most recent "Enter the Runway #..." thread to notify her of this.

Mouseykins Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I am very excited for this! I've been wanting to do this for a while, but my schedule is too full right now. I'll definitely have to remember to enter every so often. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellysundae Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 ENTRY FORM: Entry Name or Title: Outfit Image: Animations Link: Character Story (optional): I'm working on an entry, but because I'm a novice at using the DTI site I have to ask newbish questions now because I don't know how to do things :* ... So...what do you mean by animations link, what is that and how do I get to it? Is that the individual item things in the SWF links section? I am planning on having an animated item in my entry so I'm going to need this? Also, for the outfit image, this is going to be one of the links in the download/sharing section, right? But, which one and what coding option? Sorry for being such a newb, but I've no idea what I'm doing, will there be some helpful instructions added to these contests, for people like me who can't find their bum with both hands and a flashlight? :shiftyeyes_anim: Musical_Shoyru, WeyrCat and rntracy1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 You can find everything you need for the form on the Sharing tab: The link for animations would be the one found under the Outfit Page part. That links to the outfit's page, which allows you to see the animations. Like this: Outfit page I'm not sure what size Deb prefers, but the outfit image can be found on the same tab, likely the Medium image size. You would just copy the url and either paste the URL in the form, or use the Image option in the message to paste the URL and it will show the image. As far as coding option, using plain is best if you use the easy editor for your posts, instead of seeing the actual code (The little toggle button is the top left grey light switch button), since you can just press the button that looks like a picture and paste the URL and it does the coding for you. If you just paste urls in the non-BBC code viewing version, it will automatically make it a link when you post/send a message. midnight_spell360, hrtbrk, Mouseykins and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellysundae Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Awesome, thank you very much, Spritzie :D I guessed wrong with the animations bit then. >< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deboratibi Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Thank you, Spritzie! :thumbsup: Yes, the Medium size is preferred, but it's not something to worry much about since I can resize the images if necessary. What matters the most to me is the animation link (or outfit page)! Mouseykins and Spritzie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musical_Shoyru Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I don't quite understand this, do we use the Dress to Impress to dress a pet that we own with items we own, or do we pick random items and random pets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deboratibi Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 I don't quite understand this, do we use the Dress to Impress to dress a pet that we own with items we own, or do we pick random items and random pets? The purpose of using Dress to Impress is to have access to any pet and items you think will fit the selected theme best, since sticking with only what you have would be very difficult and limiting (at least for most people). Feel free to use any pet or items you wish, whether you own them or not! :) Musical_Shoyru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
