START DATE: Right now! (4th July, GMT+8hrs)

HOW TO ENTER
-Design a Kuniku (following the guides found on the weebly linked above) and submit an image of it into the MYO folder in the group, Kuniku-Sanctum .
-Write a short bio for your Kuniku (optional).
-You don't need to be a member to submit, but it's highly recommended you join the group!
-You may submit TWO SEPARATE ENTRIES.

RULES
-Entries MUST be your own art. You cannot trace, use a base, or have someone else draw it for you.
-Entries must be submitted to the folder before the deadline.
-You may only submit one image for each of your separate entries.
-Anyone is free to enter.
-You must state in the description that it is an entry for this contest, and that Kuniku are a closed species by kunipup
-Entries must abide by the rarity restrictions outlined in the weebly. If your design is breaking this rule, I will let you know and you will have the chance to fix it and resubmit it.

JUDGING
-Judging will be carried out by me (I may ask for help from close friends who aren't participating in the contest)
-Entries will be judged on: colour use, individuality, creativity, and character! Character is possibly the most important part. Don't worry if you feel your art isn't up to par, you may still win because of the great character you've developed!

CHARACTER DESIGN RULES
-You may include any accessories on your Kuniku, as long as they fit with the world (nothing technologically advanced) and DO NOT include weapons or armor (which are only attainable through the group).
-You may not include any animal familiars, as these are attainable through the group.
-All entries may use common traits.

UNLOCKING UNCOMMON AND RARE TRAITS, SUBSPECIES
-If you advertise this journal in a journal or a poll and link to it in the comment section here you will unlock UNLIMITED UNCOMMON TRAITS. You may use as many uncommon traits as you would like across both your entries.
-If five separate people submit entries saying in the description that you referred them, link to those entries in the comment section here and you can unlock either:
A: ONE RARE TRAIT to use on ONE of your entries
B: Turning ONE of your entries into either an air or aquatic Kuniku.
***UPDATE***-Alternatively, you may agree to pay an additional fee (+$10) to unlock EITHER 1 rare trait for 1 of your entries, OR turning 1 of your entries into an air or aquatic kuniku. This fee is only payable in USD, no points. E.g; if you won your Kuniku design, you would still need to pay the $10 fee, and if you didn't win and wanted to make the design official the fee would be $30. If you choose to use this method you must state on the description of your entry that you will pay the extra fee if you decide to keep the design.

WINNERS
-There will be five 'top tier' winners chosen, who will receive: a custom weapon or armor piece for their winning entry, 10 coins (the group currency, enough to purchase a basic level familiar), a chibi of their winning entry in the style of this journal's header, and their winning entry will be made into an official Kuniku for free.
-There will be 'second tier' winners chosen, who will receive their winning design as an official Kuniku for free. The number of second tier winners depends on the number of entries, and will likely be about 1 in 5 for every entry.

PURCHASING YOUR DESIGN
-For those who do not place in the top or second tiers, you will be able to purchase your design at the end of the event.
-Kuniku with ALL COMMON traits will cost $10, or 1000 points.
-Kuniku with UNCOMMON traits will cost $15, or 1500 points.
-Kuniku with a RARE trait, or Kuniku that are a SUBSPECIES will cost $20, or 2000 points.
-You will have 15 days to purchase your design.
-You will not be allowed to purchase other people's designs for yourself, even if they don't plan to purchase them.
-You will however be allowed to pay for a friend to keep their own design, if your friend can't afford to themselves.

AND HAVE FUN!! Kuniku can have all sorts of body sizes, fur length/textures, colours, markings etc so get creative!

I think that's everything! If you have absolutely any questions, whether it be about the rules, your potential design, or the Kuniku world- feel free to either leave a comment on this journal or even send me a note and I'll get back to you ASAP! <33
