ONLY ONE PRIZE PER PERSON. We want to spread the prizes around. All prizes will be given out but the "excess prizes" will be given to the next person in line during the vote process. It is possible because of these new guidelines that 4th or 5th place actually receives a prize. There must be at least 20 pictures posted in a contest or the contest will continue until we have 15 entries. You may submit full face or cheek art designs.
