Nursery Rhyme Time!

Task

Your task is to find a conventional nursery rhyme or short children's story that you enjoy. With this story, you will take a series of screenshots that illustrate your choice. Your illustrations can have text inside the picture, or added to the bottom of the page. Text is not necessarily required; however, if you choose not to use it, make sure the story is clearly shown.

You can find a sample submission along with the bookshelf that will contain all the entries at the end of the contest here.

Rules

  • Your idea must be a known nursery rhyme or short children's story. A link must be submitted along with the story to prove its authenticity. For further clarification, see this post.
  • Your story must contain at least five screenshots long but no more than twenty screenshots.
  • There must be a cover page that includes the name of your story and your name. It does not count towards your total screenshot count. There should also be some sort of picture on the cover. The cover picture can be an illustration or any type of picture as long as it relates to the story.
  • Your story must comply with the Tibia rules. Thus, it cannot be offensive.
  • The screenshots must be from Tibia.
  • The screenshots can be faked; however, too many changes could negatively affect them.
  • Everyone is allowed to participate.
  • Only one entry per person is allowed.
  • You are allowed to work with a partner; however, only one prize will be awarded.
  • The images must be no bigger than 500 pixels wide and 375 tall . You do not need to put the picture on a page, we will do that for you; however, any text lying outside the picture must be mentioned in the accompanying email. See this post for more details.


Submitting Your Work

You will have until the end of the day Sunday, June 28th to submit your entries. They should be submitted to the email tibianewscontest@gmail.com. Entries received after the deadline will not be allowed. Your submissions must contain character name and your home town, as well as your TibiaNews name if you have one.

Judging

Judging will begin the Monday following the end of the contest. Each of the Deputy Editors will vote along with a select few members of CipSoft. Once they have been judged, all of the submitted entries will be added to a public page for everyone to read.

Prizes!

Now, the part that everyone has been waiting for. We will be doing a drawing for a teddy bear in which each person that has submitted an entry will be entered by number in the order their submissions were received.. The only requirements are that you must not be suspected of cheating (multiple entries) and that you have put apparent effort into your submission.

There will also be prizes for the first, second, and third place winners.

First place will receive:
  • A Golden Newspaper
  • A golden goblet

Second Place will receive:
  • A tome of your choice
  • A silver goblet

Third Place will receive:
  • A 99x rune of your choice
  • A bronze goblet

All questions and comments are welcome in this thread, but please don't post your submissions here.

Umm, I have a question.

For the screenshots, can some of them be .gifs? That way we could show motion and movement.

The pictures must be still pictures, so you cannot use a .gif.

It's hard to say, and it depends on your world.
