The Town of Odyssey Comic/Caption Contest! [Updated]

Hello, and welcome to the first ToO Comic/Caption Contest!


As many of you know, several months ago, AE started a topic called 'AE's ToO Comic,' where he proceeded to unveil some very epic and hilarious comics. Well, this gave us admins the idea of putting on a Comic Contest! But this is no ordinary comic contest.

The Entry
You may enter a single panel cartoon, a multi-panel comic, an original drawing, or an original photograph with an original caption. You will have until 12 AM EST on Tuesday the 16th. Sunday the 21st.
The entry must be a single image, no bigger than 800x800. If you need help with image re-sizing/editing, feel free to ask me or any shopkeepers in Crestwood Avenue.
The comic/caption does not have to be about the ToO or anything having to do with Odyssey, but that is allowed. Otherwise, the entry will have to be completely original, not borrowing obvious aspects from any other shows, videos, etc.


The Voting
After the deadline, all of the entries will be posted for viewing. Then the voting takes place. The viewers will be voting on three categories, Humor, Artistry, and Originality. There will be four winners, one for Humor, one for Artistry, one for Originality, and one for an average of all three categories. More about this will be posted when it comes time for voting.


Please submit your entries to me (not to Marvin because he is gone) with the heading 'Contest Entry'.

One small question....when you say "original photo", do you mean that we can't take a picture off of the internet? :(

That is what I meant, but I might change it, if I don't get enough entries by the deadline.

Better keep it that way. Then no copyright hassles.

Instead of a "photograph," could one draw an original picture with an original caption??
There will be three winners, one for Humor, one for Artistry, one for Originality, and one for an average of all three categories.
Would that make it four winners?? (Assuming a different person won one of the each categories.) And could one person win in all three (or four) categories?

Could the same person win in more than one category?

Edit:

Oh, snubs already asked that. :-

Oh, that's great. \:D/ I was actually already doing something...but I didn't have time to finish. Maybe I can get it done by then. Though, I would consider making the to the 21st. That way anyone that just sees this thread will have a good amount of time to draw something

One other question. Does the original drawing have to have an original caption? I'm assuming it does..?
