I will save and re-host all the pictures myself so that your name stays confidential. Please make sure you rename the photos to distinguish them from each other somehow. The easier it is more me to download and copy/paste, the faster the polls get posted up. The polls will be anonymous, as discussed, so that people don't vote for their favorite member. Also, please don’t go fishing on social media for votes. I caught someone in the TCSS Contest trying that. Just don’t, it’s tacky.
Also, Please keep your sabers to yourselves as well, DO NOT post build/show off threads until the winner is announced.
You have until MIDNIGHT EST October 1st 2020 to build a saber for the contest, unless the date changes. Voting will be held shortly thereafter, and the poll will be 2 weeks in length. After that, either I (or possibly a staff member here) will announce the winner).
That's about it. Have fun with the contest! I look forward to seeing what you all come up with.
I'll be answering questions here, but please keep it on topic. If it’s more of an Administration question, I’m sure Yoda or K-2SO will weigh in.
