The Spring 2009 Chip 'n' Dale Online Talent Contest has officially started!
The theme for this season's contest is simply: Music.
This means that any submission, be it visual art, written works, or music itself - must somehow incorporate this theme into the piece. Think album art, bands, musicians, lyrics, music videos, musicals, etc. This theme is very broad, so draw on whatever inspires you to be the most creative, be it obvious parody or original content.
This is a Chip 'n' Dale contest, so Chip and Dale must be in it! While other notable character from the Classic Disney Shorts or Rescue Rangers are allowed (e.g., Clarice, Gadget, Monterey Jack, Tammy, Foxglove, Donald Duck, Pluto, etc.), the primary characters portrayed in the submission must be Chip and/or Dale. If the artist/author feels the piece would benefit from the addition of a character not specifically tied to the Chip 'n' Dale universe (e.g., a character from DuckTales, Darkwing Duck, TaleSpin, Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, etc), it may be allowed, but Chip and/or Dale must still be prominently featured.
The deadline for submitting entries is June 21, 2009. When the deadline arrives, the submission folder will be locked.
The official Chip 'n' Dale Online Talent Contest Rules and Guidelines are below. The guidelines may undergo minor adjustments at any time. If this occurs for any reason, all users will be notified via this thread.

The submission must not exceed a rating of PG. No adult oriented artwork will be accepted. The submission must conform to the Chip 'n' Dale Online forum rules.
The entries may not contain any content that has already been published elsewhere on the internet – this includes other fan art galleries or collections. We're looking for new and original work. After submitting your entry, we request that you do not republish your work anywhere else until the contest has ended (failure to comply may result in disqualification).
The submission must be the original effort of the submitter. The submission may not be plagiarized, or derivative of another person's work. Do not steal poses and other elements of composition from existing artworks (except in the case of an obvious parody or homage). Cutting and pasting from existing artworks (fanart or official art) is strictly prohibited. Tracing or copying art does not count as original work. Small exceptions may be made, depending upon the circumstance, which is at the discretion of the judges. This may include quotes from famous literary works or small graphical elements incorporated into the work.
No screen shot edits. No sprite edits.
The submission may be a piece of digital visual art (scanned or rendered on computer, and submitted as JPG, PNG or GIF), a piece of fan fiction (typed on computer, and submitted as TXT, DOC, or RTF formats), music (recorded or rendered on computer, and submitted as MP3 or OGG), or video (compressed WMV or MOV formats).
The original artists retain full copyrights to their work, but implicitly agree that the submitted works can be displayed on the contest site, even after the contest has concluded. The submitter gives Chip 'n' Dale Online the right to post their submissions in the Community Gallery, in the forums, and on the front page.
The judges reserve the right to disqualify (upon their own discretion) any entry.
Monthly Contests First place winners by month will be selected among the entries for that month and the entries will be published at the Galleries web site in the Talent Contest Winners Gallery. The judges reserve for themselves the right to decide whether a month contains work that merits awards; in the remote case their verdict is negative, no awards may be awarded in that month. All winners submissions will also be displayed prominently in the homepage or posted in the forums. Winners are expected to share comments to such posts with the community.
The winner will receive their choice of a $30 Amazon Gift Card, a 12-month Premium paid account on Deviantart, or a $30 iTunes gift certificate - as well as a spiffy banner to show off in your signature.
Depending on the number of entries received, an award for second place and possibly third may be granted
Because I'm leaving for California for two days and won't be back until the end of the month, I'm just going to announce the winner now without a bunch of hoopa...
The Winner of the February 2009 Chip 'n' Dale Online Talent Contest Natea, for her entry "Dial N for Noir"
This piece greatly impressed the judges, earning praise all around.
Alain summed it up best when he wrote:
"Dial N for Noir" is in my eyes a winner because it is based on the hardboiled crime fiction genre (a literary style distinguished by an unsentimental portrayal of crime, violence, and sex) that was so popular in the 50s.
For her efforts, Natea is being rewarded a $25 Amazon gift certificate, courtesy of the staff at Chip 'n' Dale Online.
Because we're only going with a first place this time (it's been decided that more entries need to be received in order to award second & third place designations), I felt that Cornflake's "Streetcar!" at least deserved an honorable mention. Again, Alain summed it up best:
"When you look at the picture, you forget for a moment that you're looking at Chip, Gadget and Tammy... And you think you're looking at the Streetcar named Desire-play."
Congratulations to you both, and we hope to see more great work from all of you in the future.
We're about due for another contest, so if you have any ideas you'd like to share for any potential themes (or restate a suggestion you've already made), now's the time to do it.
This time around we'd like to offer more options for the winner.
Previous contests have granted the winner with an Amazon gift card.
For the next contest - again, this depends on how many entries are received - we may also offer the option of selecting a pre-paid premium subscription to Deviant art, where the winner may continue to show off their winning entry.
Amazon Gift Card or a Paid Subscription for Premium content on Deviant Art. The monetary value will be determined by the judges at the closing of the contest, based on the entries received. The chances of winning a gift of higher value increases with every new entry, so it would benefit any interested party to promote the contest and encourage others to participate. If a substantial number of entries are received, we may even grant a 2nd or 3rd prize, to further congratulate and reward the efforts of all those involved.
We are also open to any other prize options, considering they are appropriate to the general theme of this website (absolutely no adult oriented sites, so don't bother asking).
In honor of the 50th anniversary of "The Day the Music Died," this month's contest subject matter will be: In the 1950s
Quote:
The Day the Music Died refers to a plane crash occurring just after 1:00 a.m. local time on February 3, 1959, near Clear Lake, Iowa, United States. The crash killed three American rock and roll musicians: Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, as well as the pilot, Roger Peterson. The term was popularized by Don McLean in his 1971 song "American Pie".
This means that any submission, be it visual art, written works, or music - must somehow incorporate a 1950s theme into the piece.
The contest is open for now with no set deadline. If/when a deadline approaches, this thread will be updated, and the submission folder will be locked.
The official Contest Rules and Guidelines are below. The guidelines may undergo minor adjustments at any time. If this occurs for any reason, all users will be notified via this thread.

It took a long time to choose a winner of the Halloween 2008 Talent Contest. It was hard because we've received some very impressive entries. But after one week of endless bickering and debating, the jury reached a final verdict...
The winner of the Chip 'n' Dale Halloween 2008 contest is Saraggle91!
Saraggle91, or Sara for short, is a young Texan artist who's been a member here since April of 2007. We liked her "Leer..." entry very much because she was able to mix her signature drawing style with a Tim Burtonesque design of Dale. The line art looks clean and adds to the exceptional quality of this picture. Congratulations, Sara! You really deserved the first place.
Sara will receive an Amazon.com gift certificate from us for $25, as well as a spiffy banner to show off in her signature.
Second place is for Cornflake. She's been a member since July 2008 and has put out some beautiful pieces of art in the last months, "The Ladies" being one of them. She entered the Halloween contest with an entry called "Donald got pwnt... again". We loved the munks' facial expressions, they really made us laugh out loud. When we look to this entry, we fondly remember those old Chip 'n' Dale cartoons. Kudos to Cornflake for yet another winning entry!
Cornflake will receive a colorful banner for her signature, celebrating her achievement!
Finally, we chose CD's entry for third place. Our resident Dutch 'munk has been a longtime member of this board and is notorious for being the Master of Innuendo. Well, he delivered again. He wrote a very funny Halloween poem called "The Fright before... ehrm, Halloween". CD has not only incorporated the usual Rescue Rangers characters into this well-written poem but also managed to throw Clarice, his muse, into the story-line. CD will also receive a customized Contest banner.
Thanks to all participants for joining the contest and congratulations to the winners!
The Chip 'n' Dale Online Talent Contest for October 2008 has officially started!

While the months of August and September have highlighted individual artists here, starting in October we're going to have semi-monthly fan works contests. I use the term "fan works" because the contest will be open to both artists and writers. I say "semi-monthly" because while we'll try to have a contest every month, there's always a chance that a month or two may be skipped here and there.
Each contest will be based around a certain theme. This means that a theme will be chosen by the CnD Online staff, and it's up to the artists and writers here to create something based around said theme. This could be a drawing, a painting, a sketch, a poem, a work of fiction, a song, etc. The entries will be submitted via the Community Gallery (there will be a category/folder specifically for this purpose), and voted on by the staff. We're restricting voting to staff members only to avoid popularity contests. This may change in the future, but for now we all felt this method was best.
Depending on how many submissions are received, a winner may be chosen in both the art and writing categories. If only a few submissions are received, there may only be one winner. Those chosen will receive a victory banner to be shown off in their signature, as well as another prize to be selected by the staff. This could be anything from an art commission to a gift certificate (depending on how difficult the contest is, and how many artists are competing). In addition, the winner will have their submission featured on the front page of the site for the remainder of the month, or until a new winner has been chosen.
If you know of any artists or writers who you feel should be a part of these contests, but aren't a member at Chip 'n' Dale Online, please invite them here! Contests are more exciting if there is a lot of competition.
Again, the contests will start in October with a Halloween-based theme. All entries must be Chip 'n' Dale related in some fashion. This could feature characters from the Classic Chip 'n' Dale cartoons, or Rescue Rangers, or both mixed together. It's up to you. Be creative!
Please do not submit any creations yet! Another post will be made to advise when the contest has officially started. More specific rules and guidelines will be posted at that time.
As a new feature here at Chip 'n' Dale Online, we're going to start spotlighting some of our outstanding artists and writers; This month's featured artist is: Cornflake!
Cornflake is one of our newer members, having joined the Chip 'n' Dale Online community in July of 2008, but has already impressed us with a beautiful piece of art, which we like to refer to as: The Ladies.
The full, high resolution version of the image as well as the rest of anything else Cornflake may share with us in the future is available for viewing in the Community Gallery.
To congratulate Cornflake being this month's featured artist, her art will be featured here on the front page all month long, and she will be receiving a $25 Amazon Gift Certificate courtesy of the crew at Chip 'n' Dale Online.
Congratulations, Cornflake, and thank you for continuing to be such a valued member of this community.
