No. UNLESS panels are part of the theme for said round. ONE pic per contestant, per round. To be clear, panels are ONLY acceptable under round three's "Costume Change" theme.

The first round of the competition is a "Battle Royal" style bout, where the participants are NOT matched up against any one competitor. ALL submissions will be judged on their own merit with the lowest scoring artist subject to elimination. 128 contestants are needed for the brackets to be generated in round 2. The lowest scoring artist over that 128 count will be eliminated.

ALL the entry fees are compiled make up the final CASH prize at the end of the competition as well as supply trophies to the winnner(s) and any general expenses to help facilitate the competition.

The due dates for each round were provided to you when you signed up for the competition. Check the documents you downloaded. Upon each dude date you have until 11:59pm PT before your entry is LATE.

No. You B and C side shots are strictly for the judges to view. They will lend credibility to the tangibility of your display and show how any "tricks" may have been pulled off.

Photo Kombat 3rd Strike Rd1 or PK3 Rd1 will suffice. Don't forget to add in the name you are competiting under as well.

Yes. Its possible for a cutout to double as an effect. ECO's, or Elemental Cutouts can be considered effects. Cutouts of fire, energy blast, magical incantations etc can all be considered effects. However, you should cover the bases with effects that are not cutouts and vice versa in conjunction with any ECO's you decide to include.

Yes. ALL entries must include at least one cutout.

Try to send each of your submissions (A, B and C sides) as attachments but if the files are too large a google drive is fine. No need to resize your pics, if there is any issues with size or formats someone will reach out to you.

YES. You must provide B and C side shots for each panel in the round where panels are acceptable.

Yes, using custom figures is acceptable. As long as you have at least 2 characters in your display you are within bounds.

You run the risk of elimination, as there is no solid proof the shot was done tangibly.

No. The use of a static figure is acceptable as an extra or accent however, you MUST include articulated figures in your display. Not using at least ONE may result in elimination.

Yes. Working on the brightness/color/contrast of the shot, changing the format from jpg to png etc etc is all acceptable. Just remember there is NO PHOTOSHOP. You cannot digitally add or remove anything from your set up post shot.
