What is Signature of the Week (SOTW)?
SOTW is a graphics (signature/tag) competition that takes place โonce a weekโ. Itโs a free for all competition, meaning anyone, even if youโre a beginning graphic artist, can enter. There are weekly guidelines that must be followed. You can find the guidelines in the SOTWโs main forum: here. Guidelines and voting threads are created by the Spira Moderator.
What is Avatar of the Week (AOTW)?
AOTW is an icon/avatar competition. This competition has been discontinued on FFF. However, if you would like to have an icon theme, throw in your theme suggestions in this thread.
How do I enter?
You submit your entry to the Spira Moderator (Six) by Private Message. Make sure your entry follows both weekly guidelines and the standard SOTW guidelines found in this thread.
SOTW Guidelines & Information
In the SOTW forum you can find "Monthly Guidelines". A thread that contains (usually) four themes, with each first theme of the month always being a Freestyle theme. Each theme has its own weekly due date despite being published all at once. We bundle the themes for the remainder of the month so that artists can make their entries ahead of time if they wish.
"Current": This theme is due on the first upcoming Friday.
"Coming up": These are the remaining themes for the month.
"Completed": You can no longer submit entries for these themes as they have been completed.
Please be mindful of the individual due dates each SOTW theme has.
SOTW & Social Media
SOTW's winning entries are uploaded to the Final Fantasy Forums' DeviantArt account, and with every 5th win your winning entry will also be published on our Facebook page. Please keep in mind that this is a standard procedure, if you wish to not have your work published by us, please send a Private Message to the Spira Moderator (Six) stating so. Entries that are uploaded by Final Fantasy Forums will contain a DeviantArt watermark. The entries that are published on Facebook are taken from the DeviantArt account, meaning they have a watermark on them by default.
Rewards & Prizes
Entrants:
SOTW will sometimes include a bonus week. In these bonus weeks there will be a wide variety when it comes to "prizes". Ranging from coloured usernames to MogShop discounts, and perhaps even earning some of our brand new Currency; Gold Points (GP). Gold Points can be used in MogShop to purchase Legendary Items and more!
* Gil: All the Gil rewards listed above contain the 25 Gil as an entrant reward. This will not be rewarded on top of the prize that is displayed.
* GP: GP is only rewarded every 1st Freestyle of the Month or during bonus weeks. Check the guidelines to see if a GP prize is included.
