Lets get this contest going!

After sorting out my priorities and reading everyones advice I have a few main ideas outlined for this contest.
How to Win
This is an enthusiasim and advertising contest.
There are two ways to win. 1 Get alot of people to enter, or 2Have a really enthusiastic entry. Or A combination of both.

These are the requirements per entry thus far
The drawing/Artwork/Entry must be submitted on this form [link]
First you must put who referenced you to the contest!

It must be of You or one of your origonal characters, if you are using an OC you must link to a prior example of your character in your gallery (to avoid stealing character nonsence)

You/Your character must be interacting with one of my existing hat patterns in some way. You may modify the hat (add colours change the pattern slightly) it just must be recognizeable as one of my existing hat templates ^^ Just be sure to list your modifications.
You can commission an artist to do the artwork for you but you must say that you have and by whom in your description!

Lastly If you want to earn advertising points you must list the people you got to enter the contest as well in your artist description. In order to confirm that you sent them THEY must have you listed on their enrty form description as the person that referred them.

It must be posted on deviant art, and you can keep adding referrals up to the contest closing date. Heres an visual example of the kind of format please look at the description

The contest will have Three 1st place prizes in the following catagories.

The most enthusiastic artwork
The person who referenced the most people
A combination of both enthusiastic drawing and advertising (best in show)

Enthusiasim will be a broad term untill entries are recieved but it my be generally defined as effort put into making your entry stand out.

All entries must be in before ______ at wich time there will be a two day judging period. There will be three main judges, Myself, My Boss and My sister (who is an artist but knows nothing of deviant art) (plus any volunteer judges we may add later). We will be "Grading on a curve" after all entries are recieved.

We will be adding runner up prizes for every 50 people that enter the contest.
