Profile Pic Contest Template: Hello Eliteforcers,

You may remember that it was mentioned on our Plans for the Rest of 2016 post last month, we mentioned we'd be holding a Profile Picture Contest in December. And we'll be doing just that!

This contest won't start until December 1st, but since a lot of newer people joining us may not remember it from last year when we did it on the Lab Rats Wiki, so I wanted to explain it once again here. This post will provide the schedule and the rules. Don't get creating yet though, there's still a theme to be unvailed December 1st!

Let's get into some information.

''' What Is the Profile Picture Contest? '''

The Profile Picture Contest is a contest where, just like it sounds, you're trying to create a well done profile picture to submit in the contest. On the first day, a theme will be revealed and you have just 10 days to create your profile picture and submit it into the contest. It is called a Profile Picture Contest, right? Because of this, you'll also have to set it as your own actual profile picture for the entire month! At the end of the month, the user with the most votes will receive a virtual metal for winning.

 Contest Rules 

- Please put all Profile Pictures in the comments only. If you submit work through an external website, your submission will not be counted during voting.

- Please only submit one art. This is so that it is fair for the others. Plus, you can only have one profile picture anyways, right?

- Preferably, somewhere on your art, mention the art is part of the Elite Force Wiki Profile Picture Contest. (not required)

- Fanart with inappropriate graphics, text, etc. will be disqualified. This is NOT allowed.

- This is one of our biggest rules: do NOT plagiarize work. All profile pictures being submitted in this contest is supposed to be created by you, that's the whole point of the contest. If you're caught, you will receive a three day ban for defying this rule.

- Any text in the art must be in English. Be sure to check spelling & grammer before submitting.

- Please title all submissions "Username2016Pic.(jpg, png, etc.)". If named anything else, we will ask you to change it before we add it in the submissions box.

- Good luck!
