</li>
<li>Any upload made after the deadline will <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">not be eligible</span> for the voting;<br />
</li>
<li>The images must to be uploaded to an <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">image host</span> since the forum doesn't provide enough room for that;<br />
</li>
<li>You are <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">allowed</span> to update any render as you wish before the contest deadline;<br />
</li>
<li>There is <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">no prize</span> to be claimed. The winner image will be shown on the Wings3D"s splash screen.<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Extra Information</span><ul class="mycode_list"><li>You can make as <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">many submissions</span> as you want (different subject, please);<br />
</li>
<li>Textures is not mandatory, but it can turn your scene more attractive;<br />
</li>
<li>We require the project (scene) to be done using Wings3D, but you can <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">render it outside</span> Wings3D since it doesn't have a native render - Although we would to appreciate a screenshot when using the PBR materials.<br />
<br />
What <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">we don't want</span> are elements created by other software than Wings3D. If you go to Blender, Maya, 3DS, ... , then use just the render engine. Don't go to Sculptris, ZBrush, .. to sculpt;<br />
</li>
<li>You are <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">allowed</span> to add your own logo, email or web address on the final image. In this case, put it in a corner on the bottom trying to make it proportional to the image (the attention must to be on the image);<br />
</li>
<li>In case you 3D print your model or use it for any other external work you can also upload a picture of it;<br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Why to restrict post processing</span>:<br />
We just don't want an image that is far from what any user would get by using a render tool. That would not be fair with those with less ability to use any post processing tool. As Wings3D is about modelling, we think that promote this skill is better than the "aesthetic" one.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[The vote will be available to non forum users too, this way people from the other Wings3D social media can help to choose the image that will be part of the next Wings3D's splash screen. <br />
As the poll option offered by the forum board can be cheat by non registered user I decided to use an external site for that (although anything isn't safe enough).<br />
<br />
The vote will be closed in 48 hours (Apr 22nd, 2019 - 11:59pm (EST))<br />
<br />
Good luck to the participants. <img src="https://www.wings3d.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.png" alt="Smile" title="Smile" class="smilie smilie_35" /><br />
