Challenge Arena FAQ's

Q - Do I have to sign up to take part in the challenges?

A - No. Anyone can take part in the challenges at anytime.

Q - How long do I have before a challenge ends?

A - Challenges normally run from the beginning of the month until the last few days. The last 3 - 5 days of each month are left for Voting.

In some cases, where a really difficult challenge has been issued, a vote will be taken to see if it should be a multiple-month challenge.

Q - Can I post a challenge?

A - Yes. Anyone may post challenges at any time. Your Challenges can be towards the whole forum or to a specific person.

Try to make challenges to the entire forum interesting enough and open enough for all types artists and software users to get more response from your challenge.

Q - Where should I post my challenge entry once it is finished?

A - Each challenge entry should be posted here in the forum either by putting the image in the post or putting a link to the image. You can post your image here at Renderosity in the gallery under the Challenge Arena heading.

Q - Are there prizes for the Challenges?

A - No. These are challenges not contests.

Q - Who decides the next months challenge topic?

A - The winner of the past months challenge decides the next month’s challenge. If he or she doesn't start a new challenge for the next month I will post an open challenge for that month.

Q - Who picks the challenge winner?

A - You do. Anyone may vote once the challenge has ended. Voting will run for the last couple days of the month, ending at 12am EST.

Q - Can I vote for myself?

A - I guess you could but I recommend you vote for someone else since this is only a challenge and not a contest.

Q - How many times can I vote?

A - Only one vote per person please.

Q – How many entries can I post?

A – You can post as many entries into the challenge as you want. It does however effect the voting.

It is recommended when voting for someone who has multiple entries; to include which entry you are voting for. This way we are voting on the image, not a specific artist.

Q – Can I post an old image of mine?

A – You can, but then that’s not much of a challenge is it. While you may already have an image that is perfect for the theme of the challenge, I would suggest either re-working it, or even making a new one. The whole point here is to push your artistic abilities. Reach for something new and exciting, while still having fun.
