2019 Beauty Pageant!
A Contest with 500 💵 in Prizes!

꧁꧂꧁꧂꧁꧂꧁꧂꧁꧂꧁꧂


Rules:
1. Creature must be from 2019.
This is because, well, it's the end of the year! Also, newer players might not have older creatures, and that wouldn't be fair for everyone. This way provides a vast selection of creatures. 2019's CC Monthlies. Cave Monthlies, Mid-Month CC creatures are allowed, while Thief Shop creatures (even though they may have been born this year) are not. Exceptions include: Cave Commons, Cave Seasonals (Elge, Dragfer, Kujak, etc.), and all Halloween Festival, Chocotravaganza, and Dragold's Den creatures.
2. Creature must have a proper name.
Hyphens and underscores are allowed as long as there is a word they're surrounding. This is because lots of actual words are already taken, and I want to provide a way for people to be more creative.
3. Creature must have a bio written.
This can be as little as two sentences long. Just copy and paste Jello's Beauty Pageant above your bio if you have a special format you don't want to break.
4. Participants must enter their creature before December 21st.
I need time for judge feedback, so being able to have a good amount of time between the deadline and the announcement of the winners.

꧁꧂꧁꧂꧁꧂꧁꧂꧁꧂꧁꧂


Prizes:
1st Place: 350 💵
2nd Place: 100 💵
3rd Place: 50 💵

Announcement + Delivery Date: December 27th, 2019.

About:
Your Creatures will be judged in 3 captions: Creativity, Overall Dynamics, and Bio.

The Creativity Caption is based on how unique your creature, travel, and name selection is. Using the designated trinket travel for your particular creature will cause you to have a lower grade in this caption. A name like AwesomeKozza the Kozza will also cause a lower scoreplace in this caption. However, using a different creature's trinket travel on your creature will place you higher up in this caption.
The Overall Dynamics Caption is based on how well your creature, travel, name, and bio fit together. If you have a bio about dogs on a Panumkin named _-Stars-_, you'll suffer in this caption, as none of these fit together. However, if your bio is about your Wackalama, _-Pinata-_ running out from your birthday party, with a Party Hat travel, you'll probably win in this caption.
The Bio Caption is purely about how well written your bio is. If it's a sentence or two telling me to pick your creature as the winner, [i]you're not gonna get your wish.
However, if it's about your creature doing something cool (read my bio for my Tentropy) or describing your creature in general, you'll be placed higher up in this caption.

Each creature will be privately ranked by each judge in each caption. Their rank will be taken as its number and collectively added across all judges and captions. The creature with the lowest score will win!

In order to participate, copy, fill out, and reply this:
Name: (your name, duh)
Creature: [url= (copy and paste link to creature here) ] (name of creature) [/url]
Travel Used: (the name of the travel you used)

Exceptions are: Leep, Elge, Dragfer, Kujak, all Halloween Festival and Chocotravaganza creatures, and all Dragold Den creatures. Let me know if you can think of any other exceptions.

@jello
Hmm. I have a couple of actual names, but pretty much all of the creatures I have a significant attachment to have slant names or fantasy names. These names are basically names of sorts, but they aren't actual names like Emily, Robert or words like Flowering or Haybale. Instead, they're like names you would find in a fantasy novel or game. Some of them are butchered names(Kieraen was a butchered version of Kieran because name was taken), spliced names(I believe Glith was derived from monolith/megalith) or just letters strung together nicely(Basically every name I own).
Examples: Glith, Casalani, Faiyre, Fijayi, Juza, Eshmun, Kieraen, etc.
Would these count as proper names? I'd love to enter, no matter what the answer is.
Edit: Forgot to include names like ArcaneShine and other mushed together names.
Would those be alright?

@jello

I would like to participate, just have to find the right creature....

Questions: can the creature bio be a poem that I make up?

Do endangered creatures count? If I find one in the Oasis before the deadline, will they count as 2019 creatures?

Same question with VEND creatures.
