Calling all spriters who are up to a challenge!, Want to show off your skills? or Perhaps it's prizes you want?

First, let's tell you what's it all about and what rules apply.


1/ Much like the Oc contest a while ago, it's a contest where you submit your works in the hopes of winning.
Much of the same rules and regulations used there also apply here.
The only Key differences are :

- Sprite's only (Sorry, no fanfiction or fanart)
- You're not limited to just Oc's (Alternate versions of GS characters are also accepted)
- A back-story to accompany your sprite is nice, but it's not something it will be judged on. So you may choose to include one or not.(Graphic contest after all)

Full set of rules can be found in the spoiler tag below.
Spoiler:
Submission:
Entrants may submit one or all of the following:

The Entrants may submit Single sprites, sprite sheets, and animated sprites, they are all acceptable.
Sprites can be hand drawn or created using parts from existing sprites
(however, you are under no circumstances to use parts from a custom sprite you did not create yourself)

Eligibility:

Everyone is eligible.(This includes previously banned members)

Requirements:

It has to be a Character sprite (No backgrounds, evidence, etc.)
One sprite minimum (no maximum), By this I mean a GS style front or side facing sprite. (Not just a victim headshot, etc.)
Also, a short synopsis of your character is encouraged, but not necessary and will make no difference in the Judge voting phase.

Restrictions:

*Important*
The Sprite Cup and the Oc contest may be separate events, however entries entered in one may not be submitted again in the other. (This inludes entries to the Main site sprite archive)

This is an Ace Attorney contest, and as such your character must somehow fit into the context of a court of law.
Examples: defense attorney, prosecutor, judge, detective, witness.
If the judges aren't convinced that your character has a close enough relationship to Ace Attorney
(by being one of the aforementioned roles or being somehow connected to a canon character) it may be disqualified.

You ARE allowed to submit different incarnations of canon characters (The one Big difference that sets it apart from the OC contest).
But remember, The sprite needs to be modified substantially, so no putting glasses on Phoenix and call it a day.

Each participant is allowed ONE character entry.

If you are caught submitting an entry you did not create, or using parts from someone else’s custom sprites (see sprite theft)
you will be disqualified and banned from all future CR contests. We do not take plagiarism lightly.

Appropriateness:

Because this contest will have open voting among fans, all entries should not feature any excessive violence, nudity, or graphic sexual content.
Keep it at a PG-13 rating or lower, please. (otherwise go to TLS for those :P)

Deadline:

All entries must be send to courtrecord@gmail.com
They must be received by midnight, January 10st (US Eastern Standard time).
The Judges will weed through the entries to make sure they all fit the requirements,
and then open voting will begin January 16th and continue for the next 10 days.
If all goes smoothly, winners should be announced January 26th.

Judging:

Judging will be handled in two ways: a panel of judges( including myself ) , and also an open poll on the site.

Two judges have been chosen, As the entries come in, they will be passed between the judges (and myself) to make sure they fit the requirements of the contest.
I don't know how many entries we may get, but if necessary the judges will also select the top 10 to 13 entries that will be accepted as finalists.

Once the finalists have been picked, a poll will be created on the site for everyone to vote on. It will be open for roughly 10 days.

Once the popular votes have been tallied, the judges will cast their votes as well. Each of the judge's votes will count for 5 regular votes.
The reason for this is to help counterbalance "friend-voting" in the open poll.

Unless something comes up, winners will be announced January 20th.


Entries will be judged on:

Originality: Is the entry unique?
Continuity: Does it seem like a character that could actually fit in the Ace Attorney universe?
Execution: Is the work well made and technically impressive?


2/Now, the Prizes...
1st, 2nd and 3rd place will receive one the following: (First place picks first, Second chooses second, you get the idea.)


-"The Official casebook" vol 01 ENG-

Image


-"The mystery box"- (A book's a book, but the mystery box could be anything!)
Image


-"Bragging rights" ( Honorable mention, will get his sprite topic sticky'd for a month) -> yeah, will probably go to 3rd place >_>


Now, I guess that's it...Any questions?

Once I thought I would never enter a sprite contest, but now I see nothing is impossible.XD

Question:If I submit an OC character's sprite in this contest, can I submit fanarts of the same character in the OC contest next year?
You can call me whatever you want:3

Good question, since they are using different kind of arts for each "story arc" series.

That's right! A book's a book, but a mystery box could be anything...

It could even be a book! :D

(yay references EDIT: fixed the reference :oops: )


Anyway, this seems interesting... If I can pull enough free time out of my schedule, I might actually enter! ^_^ Although I'll probably get it by January 10...st. lol.

And if I do enter, and if the armegeddon comes and I get 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place i call dibs on honorable mentions right now :P

Can a sprite be submitted that has been made (by the entrant, of course, and fitting
within the requirements) before the contest? Like one you already had?

Bluntly put, No. If you previously submitted work to be archived in the court records sprite database, then they are equally valid like the previous contest entries. (sorry, have to draw the line somewhere, I'l update the main page to make this more clear)

Yes, As long as it has not been submitted in any prior contest and/or was archived in the Main site's sprite's database.

Sounds interesting, I can't quite decide what to do yet though, I have lots of potential ideas.
One thing, are you allowed to enter PW style sprites of characters from other series?

Of this, I'm not sure...at the risk of getting flooded with final fantasy attorney's, I would say Yes. However, It still has to fit into the PWworld.
So for the love of god, No pokémons or Gundams or something long those lines.

This sounds interesting. I'm in.

I mean, I'm probably not going to win or anything, but it seems fun, and I may as well try a small sprite sheet... I'll consider it a sort of practice.

Hm... Can we enter old sprites we've made?
And what if the animation isn't done by you?
I'm really tempted to enter my young Jade Edgeworth sprite.

It's hit and miss. There are a couple of threads about somewhere in the forums that you can get other people's opinions.

I'm glad the contest is a few months away, becuase trying to recolor sprites is very hard if you have no clue what you're doing.

Haha, You may enter sprites that you created but were animated by someone else.
But just out of common courtesy, ask the animator as well.

Glad to see people are getting interested in this.

About the mystery box:

Part of the purpose of the box, is the risk you're taking.
It could be a Edgeworth poster, a GS figurine, or perhaps even a casebook!
But who knows, it also might be an old sock, a lightbulb or a rusted keychain. :redd:
But don't worry, It'l be something GS related...>_>
But are you willing to take the risk?

1. I blame your ambiguous phrasing.
2. I meant what I said and I said what I meant. I'm not taking what I said back :P


Except I only know 1 and have no idea who the other 2 are. I misread something ^^'


(Sorry, Judge #4. You just ain't cool enough.) *hopes he isn't talking to a mod or admin*



Will you at least tell us in 104 days?
