Follow the submission guidelines.
Except: only original art may be entered in contests. No colored manga panels, whatever.
There is ONE exception to this: contests for IDs and avatars. At no other time will unoriginal art be accepted for contests. Outside of contests, it's alright.
-Admins may enter contests, but most adhere to voting rules.
-Only members may submit art.
-Up to 3 pieces may be entered for each contest. If one piece is a comic, all separate pages count as one submission (together; this means that you can submit a comic of however many pages you want, it's the comic that counts as the item. Two more submissions can be made. However, if there doesn't seem to be any relation between the submission, they will be counted separately.)

Voting
-You do not have to be a member to vote.
-You may vote only once.
-Admins may vote.
-Clubs and organizations may not.
-You may not vote for your own deviation, but feel free to vote for someone else's.


Scoring
-Only votes made within the deadline will be counted. One month after voting ends, comments will be disabled.
-Any votes found to be breaking the voting rules will not be counted.


And the winners are...?
-The first place winner is the once who received the most votes. The 2nd place winner will be the admin's favorite. In the event the admin's favorite is the one with the most votes, the 2nd placer will be the one with 2nd most amount of votes. The 3rd place winner will normally be the one with the 2nd amount of votes, unless the admin's choice and 1st winner were the same.


Prizes?
-Currently, we have no way to give the winners any material or monetary prizes (i.e., subscriptions, statues, whatever).
-What we can give you is a commission, if you want it. Your commission will be done by unless you'd like to request a different administrator. Please look through the gallery of whatever administrator you're requesting a prize from to see if you like their style or not.
--1st place - one full color commission featuring 2 characters of your choice.
--2nd place - one full color commission featuring 1 character of your choice.
--3rd place - one black and white commission featuring 1 character of your choice.

It's anyone's guess when you'd get these, though. And is severely lacking in Photoshop skills, so your commissions will be low-tech (i.e., crayon, colored pencil, or marker, inked on paper).
And the admins will not be at all offended if you decline a commission offer.
And your commission characters must be one of Rumiko Takahashi's. We will tell you if they're not, or if we've never heard of them and have no visual aide for them.
