Announcing the first WeakAuras Art Contest

With Battle for Azeroth on the horizon, the WeakAuras team is running the first ever Art Contest for WeakAuras to update our built-in textures and sounds for the new expansion set.

We aren't looking for artistic masterworks, but to extend our default selection of useful textures and sounds. The artwork should be useful in the context of how WeakAuras is used.

  • For example, sounds are mostly used for notifications, thus short but distinct sounds probably work best.
  • For Textures, those are mostly used to show some progress, which can be either horizontal/vertical or circular.

You can submit any textures, sounds or even stop motion textures.

Do note a few rules:

  • The artwork needs to be your own. (It doesn't need to be created specifially for the contest, but you need to be the copyright holder.)
  • The submission period starts on 1. August and ends on 31. August.
  • You can submit your artwork for inclusion into WeakAuras in the special art contest channel on the Official WeakAuras Discord. https://discordapp.com/invite/wa2
  • The jury will be recruited from the WeakAuras Discord mod team and will vote on the top artwork.

Prizes

  • There are prizes, but since the jury is art-challenged keep your hopes low.
  • The prizes are 10 Amazon €/$/£ 10 Gift Cards distributed among all artwork.

If we like your submission:

  • We'll add to WeakAuras.
  • This does not imply winning a Amazon Gift Card.
  • And your artwork will be release under the license of WeakAuras, which is the GPL v2. The GPLv2 is a open source license, which with certain restrictions allows anyone to reuse any parts of WeakAuras.
