First I will choose the 3 main winners.After that I'll make polls with all of the entries to choose the special prize winner. (The 3 main winners have the right to win the special prize.)

The 3 main winners will be judged by:
---* Creativity (up to: 10 points )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BONUS POINTS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you want to have a greater chance to win you could use the advantage of the bonus points.The bonus points are divided in several categories:

~PC-Neko form~
In order to win most BP by just one thing you could simply draw the Paper Cat in his human/neko form. (You can see some references below in the "Reference" section. ) This will automatically bring you 15 points. You could either think of your own PC neko form or use my design.It doesn't matter as long as he has his scarf.

~Theme:~
Choose a theme from the ones listed below to win BP.
Halloween (5 points.) -draw the PC in a Halloween suit or something dark or evil-anything related to Halloween.
Vocaloid (5 points.) - draw the PC as a Vocaloid character.
Cosplay (5 points.) -draw the PC dressed as another character from another anime/manga/game/other
PC+ Danger (10 points.) -draw the PC with his best friend Danger. (see references in the "Reference" section below.)
PC+EOT (10 points.) -draw the PC with a character/characters from =Deamond89 's manga Essence of Time. (For references-browse =Deamond89 's gallery.)

You could combine several themes to get more points.Example: If you draw PC,Danger and Ary(EOT) cosplaying as Vocaloids on Halloween you'll combine all themes and you'll get the maximum points out of this which it 25+5 more for combining = 30.

Animation
If you manage to animate the PC you could get more points.
Normal form animation (up to 10 points.)
Human form animation (up to 15 points.)
Emoticon animation (up to 10 points.)
