What is Signature of the Week (SOTW)?
Signature of the week is a signature graphics competition that takes place once a week. It’s a free for all competition, meaning anyone, even if you’re a beginning graphic artist, can enter. There are weekly guidelines that entrants must follow, you can always find the guidelines and voting threads in SOTW’s main forum. The guidelines and voting threads are created by the Spira Moderator.
What is Avatar of the Week (AOTW)?
Avatar of the Week is an icon/avatar graphics competition. This competition has been discontinued on FFF. If you would like to see an avatar/icon theme in SOTW please suggest a theme in the Discussion & Results thread or PM the Spira Moderator (Six) for more information.
How do I enter SOTW?
Once your signature is finished you submit your entry to the Spira Moderator (Six) by Private Message. More information about the SOTW Guidelines can be found in this post.
SOTW Rules
Standard forum rules apply (read here).
- Voting for yourself or asking others to vote for you is not allowed. You will be disqualified if this rule is broken.
- You can not enter the same signature in different themes. Each theme must have a newly created signature.
- Entrants are allowed one personal entry and multiple collaboration entries per week.
- SOTW entries must be within forum limits (400px height) unless stated otherwise.
- Every entrant has 24 hours (starting from the voting post) to submit a late entry. Please do so with discretion and PM the Spira Moderator.
- Saturday is the standard day for SOTW's voting threads to go up and new guideline threads to be made. Please mind there is no time set for when the voting goes up on Saturdays so send in your entries on Fridays or any time before that preferably.
SOTW Guidelines and Information
In the SOTW forum you can find "monthly guidelines". A thread that exists of four themes, which each first theme of the month being a standard Freestyle theme. Every theme has it's own weekly due date.
"Current": This theme is due on the first upcoming Saturday.
"Coming up": These are the remaining themes for the month.
"Completed": These are the previously hosted themes for the month. You can no longer submit entries for these themes.
Be mindful of the INDIVIDUAL DUE DATES each SOTW theme has. The SOTW guidelines are bundled by 4 so that you can make entries in advance if you wish, but each guideline still has a weekly due date.
SOTW and Social Media
SOTW's winning entries are uploaded to FFF's DeviantArt account, and with every 5th win your winning entry will also be published on FFF's Facebook. Please mind that this is a standard procedure, if you do not wish to have your work published by anyone but yourself, please send Six a PM stating so. Entries that are uploaded by Final Fantasy Forums will contain an DA watermark. Entries published on Facebook are taken from the FFF DA, meaning the automatically have the DA watermark added to them.
