Happy Early Spring Festival and Easter everyone! I am posting this contest early so that there is a good amount of time before Sunday for those that make Easter Eggs to celebrate Easter.

As the title suggests, this game is pretty simple! All you have to do is create an Easter Egg! There will be two categories for prizes, one for real Easter Eggs (yes, the ones you paint and decorate), and one for digital Easter Eggs. The caveat for this contest is that the Easter Egg must be related to Sylestia somehow, for both the digital and real life entries.

This contest will run for the duration of the Spring Festival. At the end, Krinadon and myself will go through and judge all of the entries. The three entries we like best for each category will receive awesome prizes!


Rules

1. You may only create one post. You cannot create "reserved" posts. Please only post when you have an entry. This rule helps us to more easily and quickly judge all entries. You may put entries to both categories in one post.

2. You may only submit one entry for each prize pool. This means, at most, you can only submit one real Easter Egg and one digital Easter Egg.

3. If you submit an entry, it must have been created by you! You cannot use other people's work, find images from the internet, etc. Doing so will be an automatic disqualification and forum suspension as it is considered cheating. If you're submitting a real egg than you need to take at least 3 pictures of your username and date on a piece of paper by the real egg, along with the creation process of the egg.

4. The end date for this contest is the end of the Spring Festival 2019.

5. Have fun!

Prizes

There will be a participation prize for everyone that participants in the contest, for both digital and real life entries. The first place winners for both the digital and real life entry will get a special prize bonus of working with the Sylestia team to implement a gene of their choosing (with approval and admin discretion) on any of the Sylestia species. There will be 1/2/3 place prizes for both digital and real life entries.

um what are digital easter eggs? like generator eggs? i'm a noob sorry.

Drawing an Easter Egg in a digital drawing program, such as Photoshop or GIMP etc.

oh. I don't have or know what either of those are

Do the real Easter eggs need to be the real, edible kind? No decorating plastic eggs? (Wasn't sure whether to ping or not, sorry.)

so like a painting website like Sumopaint?

Here is an example of a previous year's Easter Egg thread:

They don't have to be real eggs, they can be created using anything. They just need to be an egg. :)

Can we use Google Drive to create our Easter egg?

Can we upload our images to google drive? It's the only uploading thing I have, and considering it is extremely difficult to direct link images so that they actually show up in the post, I just never really participated in these kinds of contests. I have a bit more free time right now so maybe I'll do something.

may i show you some cool eggs i found while looking at pictures for ideas? (this isn't what i'm submitting)
