> application guidelines

Artists

- Artists will be required to submit at least one piece.
- While they are allowed to submit more, we ask that the focus be on a different game.
- If they so choose, they may draw digital merch or spot art instead of or in addition to page art - however, if they wish to do so, they must indicate that on their application form.
- We will only have 5 spot artists and 5 digital merch artists. While artists may choose to informally draw merch art or spot art, this must be in addition to their page art, and (for spot art) they must sort things out with the writers themselves.
- There will be 25 artists total.
- For the application, artists will be required to submit at least two finished pieces, and have the option of including a third plus a portfolio.

Writers

- Writers will be required to submit at least one piece.
- While they are allowed to submit more, we ask that the focus be on a different game.
- If they so choose, they may be paired with a spot artist - however, if they wish to do so, they must indicate that on their application form. Additionally, there is no guarantee they will be able to work with a spot artist. However, as per our artist guidelines, writers may still have an artist draw spot art for their piece even if the artist did not sign up to do spot art.
- There will be 7 writers total.
- For the application, writers will be required to submit at least two pieces, neither of them surpassing 4k words, and have the option of including a third plus a portfolio. The pieces may be snippets from a longer work or just short piece of writing. Any form of writing is allowed, be it an essay, poem, or short story.
