The Runway is Returning!

[Musical_Shoyru]

Hello! As some of you may know Nielo & I were talking about the future state of The Runaway toward the end of last year.

With some discussion we agreed that I would start running the contest again & Nielo would hop in and help here and there whenever she is available!

That being said some new things are coming to the Runway!
 

• We are allowed to give out prizes now! Back in 2018 TNT changed the rule they had which did not allow for anyone to give out prizes for contests ran. This meant that prizes were now allowed to be given out. I also had personally spoke to Alice back in that year to clarify and ask some questions about the announcement made in that editorial & she answered with this;

  "Hi,

  Yes, prizes are now allowed.

  That part is meant to stop people from joining the same guild on all their sides to rig any contests, if you already don't allow them to enter that would cover it. It's just meant to keep contests fair for active members.

  because the Runway had started in 2015 this was something that developed many years after the start of this contest. So we're excited to announce that the winner(s) of each round will be receiving a NC item prize. This may change to being a mix of NC item prize and NP Wearable item prizes in the future, but for now we're sticking to NC

• I would like to try to keep the contests more anonymous to keep it fair so I will be finding way to make the contest fair & fun for everyone that wants to participate 

•  The contest will be ran essentially once a month, with two weeks for submissions & two weeks for voting.

• I've also created a poll above regarding the "story" option for the runway. I wanted to see if people would still like to keep this as an option going forward with The Runway in 2024. I do think it's a really neat option, but with only so many people actually using it & everyone having different writing styles I think after awhile you'll begin to know who is writing what & the contest would not remain anonymous. If we'd like to keep that story option available another thought is maybe turning that section into a "Winner's Story"; in which you can submit a story to be displayed/showed on your entry if it places.

THE RUNWAY WILL BE RETURNING ON 1/14/2023

I look forward to getting this going again with all of you and can't wait to see the creative things you guys come up with again!

Yay!! I'm so excited to hear the Runway will return! I had only taken part in a small amount of them since I joined rather late, and it was sad to see it go. Thank you for bringing back this event, I can't wait to participate and see everyone else's work!
