Awesome! I think that this is a beautifully sneaky and great idea!

I shall fall for it completely and send in a donation entry ^^

you get an envelope. You make the envelope look all pretty [outside only], you then place a donation (if you want) and send it to the address on the Pledge page.

Hey,

I have found some prizes for this month's contest: random anime on DVD. It will be anime and it will be on DVD but that's all I know about it so far. It's not going to be any way-popular/expensive anime like Evengelion Platinum Edition box set or anything like that. All I can promise is that it's actually anime and it's on legitimate DVDs.

So if you want to score some anime, send in an entry or three. Hopefully I will be able to score more/better stuff as the contest progresses.

Well, I looked over the rules, but I have a question still. Does the artwork HAVE to be anime, or can it be non-anime, as well?

Oooooo, that is a good question. I had assumed that the artwork would be anime-related, but you do bring up a good point that it is not actually explicitly stated in the rules. For this month, I will keep the loophole open, so the artwork can be anything. If this becomes a problem, a rule may be added in future months so that there are separate categories of the contest or only anime-related artwork is eligible for prizes or something like that.

Thanks again and have fun!! ^_^

I'm a little bit confused so all you have to do is put your artwork on the outside of the envolope not the inside,and send it?

You can also include a donation on the inside right?

I know I may sound like I have a bundle of questions right now I'm just kinda confused.

And if you do send in some artwork,can you create your own anime charecter,or do you have to base it on a specific anime?and do you have to color it?

*stupid question*-_-'

Hey,

Yup, you got it right. Just to recap, here's the general process for creating an entry:

1. Get a regular standard letter-sized (or smaller) envelope.
2. Put some artwork on the outside of the envelope (draw, paint, crayon, etc). For this month, the artwork subject can be anything you want.
3. Put a donation in the envelope with your site username. (optional step, but greatly encouraged)
4. Mail the envelope without putting the envelope in anouther envelope.

I hope that helps.

Won't artwork on the outside of an envelope run the risk of being damaged if not completely ruined while traveling through the postal system?

Yeah that really helps
