Ginta, Liffy, Well we have 2 months this time, so halloween would already be over when the contest is finished :O
So if you were allowed to do something else (like halloween for example) and you'd win, people would either get a halloween-promo at a date that doesn't have anything to do with halloween or you would have to wait until next halloween XD
Christmas is the next big thing comming after the end of the contest, so I think it's fine that it has to be christmas-themed or with no theme at all.

Dragonfly, no, the description can not be in any other language than English (unless you want to get disqualified :P), so that everyone has a chance to understand your idea.

Dragonfly, well, I'm sorry to say that but that's their own problem then.
The main language on Virtuadopt is English and every single user knew that before they registered. If some users don't understand English properly, they sure can ask their friends's or any of the moderators's help (if they speak their language).

Dragonfly, if you have troubles translating, feel free to ask me to help you out. I don't mind translating from German into English.
In the end just Ellie and we mods have to understand the description.

MewMisaki, Cyrrior, to answer your previous question, I think Ellie mostly refered it to other adoption sites. I think DeviantArt is fine, but keep in mind that you shouldn't upload your entries as long as the contest hasn't ended and the winners hasn't been chosen yet -
we don't want problems or questions concerning stealing ideas and stuff like to come up when we find your images on an other site.

If you do end up winning and really want to upload it on an art hosting site like deviantart we can talk about it. But for now I am still going to say no to other sites at the very least until the contest is over.

As for why xmas and not halloween, other people already said it. The contest is over in November and I will (hopefully lol) finish judging soon after that and any holiday promos will be released with the rest of our xmas promos. Non-holiday-themed promos can be released whenever we feel like it (but will probably be sometime soon after the contest is over anyway), but anything for another holiday would have to wait for a very long time which is why I don't want people to do those.

As for other languages, I am the main judge with the rest of the staff giving input, so as long as we understand what you are trying to say that's all that matters. The whole staff speaks English and most of us don't speak German so it wouldn't make sense for you to put it in German..

PokeTrade, I don't know what your idea was but I'm probably going to limit ideas to just a normal and shiny. That gives us the most flexibility for distribution methods since some methods might not be very feasible..

Ellie, Alright, if you already want to know what my idea is: It's already posted in the entry topic.

Leafeon, okay :3
To resize in Gimp, have your drawing open and go to 'Image' and a drop down menu will appear. Click on 'Scale Image...' and change either the Width or Height (whichever is bigger) to Image Size 250.
Then repeat for the 50x50 image. Hope this helped ^^
