The prize pool will be $100, and the top 3 winning ads will be run to promote the fiction!
The prizes are as follows:
First-place winner - $50
Second-place winner - $30
Third-place winner - $20
Multiple submissions are allowed! However, you can only win once!
Winners will be chosen based on factors such as; how loyal it is to the fiction, how funny it is, as well as how much potential it has as an ad. The submissions will be made via my Discord in amber-meme-contest-submissions.
The rules are relatively simple:
Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.
1 - No NSFW or explicit ads
2 - Must be relevant to the story and a meme
3 - The ad must be 300 x 250, or any resolution that fits a 6:5 aspect ratio (or is close to it).
Be aware that failure to comply with these rules will automatically invalidate the entry, though that doesn't mean there is a high barrier for entry, you can even draw some stick figures so long as they are funny, because it is ultimately a meme advertisement contest!
Submissions will be closed on the 13th of May, so there's plenty of time to enter! A decision will be made by the 20th of May, and payment to the winners will be made as soon as possible unless some complication arises. Payment will be made via PayPal and through an intermediary to avoid exposing sensitive information.
As for those that are a bit lost on what a meme ad is, here are some examples of meme ads that Amber and Arc (a different fic of mine) have had.
Once more, submissions will be made via my and can only be made through it in the specific channel called 'amber-meme-contest-submission', do not DM me submissions. Here is a discord link:
Thank you all for the support this far, if anyone has any questions I will be answering them in the comments below!
