kellythern -> Detailed NFAC rules (8/15/2005 8:37:36 PM)
|
Hi everyone! I thought I'd start this section off with the basic rules of NibbleFest. It looks like a lot of info, but it's really easy to follow. I'll tack this to the top so that it'll be easy to access each month if you would like to review. Please pay attention to the listing times, especially.
COMPLETE RULES:
-----------------
Listing times:
Contest starts on the 20th of each month between 4 p.m. and 1 a.m. Pacific (ebay) time (7 p.m. - 4 a.m. eastern time and those inbetween, well you know what time it is!) This gives us 9 hours to list, you're welcome to use the automatic lister if you'd like.
Run time 7, 5 or 3 days, all auctions must end on the 27th of each month.
Medium: Anything you choose
Size: Anything you choose
Support: Anything you choose
Theme changes monthly, please see the polls, calendar or message board for current themes.
Somewhere in your auction please say something like:
"This is my entry in the Nibblefest Art Contest, a themed art contest beginning on the 20th of each month. Please be sure to search for NFAC to see more great entries, each starting at just 99¢. Thanks!"
The word NFAC must be included in the title for search purposes. You can also include contest in the title, but since it's in the description, people will find it anyway. I've been told people also search for the word "contest" in titles, so you might want to consider that if you have some spare characters.
Starting bid: 99¢ (US$ )
No reserve, no extra features other than gallery (no featured plus, no bold, etc.) This is to keep things equal for everyone.
List in one category only, no second category.
Choose the gallery option for 30¢ - Please DO use this feature, it will improve your chances of being seen.
One auction per seller, if you have more than one artist in your household selling from the same ID, just let me or one of the moderators know. You can run as many as you want but can only enter one in the contest. Only one will be counted towards an official entry.
All listings are to comply with eBay regulations and completed in the usual way. If you sell for a low price, you must complete the deal. It is adviseable that you sell something worth more money so you will get more bids, hence you will make more money. Selling something only worth 99¢ will bring you 99¢. Selling a piece that you would usually get more for might be a good sweet deal in the end. Then again, it may backfire. So, please use your discretion in listing your art. You do have to be the one living with the final price. Keep in mind, however, that this is for fun and to draw attention to your other auctions. List as much as you can during the week to gain exposure. It has worked for many new artists coming into eBay as well as established artists.
The winner will be judged on the most unique bidders received during the time the auction ran, the prize is a trophy for their me page. Second and third place winners will also be announced and will receive a trophy.

If you have any questions regarding the rules, feel free to ask, we're happy to help.
