 Welcome! This is the Soul Silver Trainer Card Competition, a place for all to showcase their talents and compete in a friendly arena to see who can rise the ranks of the Trainer Card elite! The ultimate goal of this contest is to have fun, while improving your skills and talents.  In order for things to run smoothly, staff members are selected for the thread. Their job includes keeping the thread under control, acting as a third-party to dissolve any issues among participants, and - most importantly! - judging rounds. Here is a current list of the staff members. If you have any questions, they are the people to ask! - FourthBeat - BloodWolf - Hurricarno  In order to create a successful card, you'll need to have a few different resources at your disposal: things like fonts, templates, sprites and other popular elements seen on cards. We've compiled these resources here to make your search easier.                      To keep things running smoothly, there are a few simple rules that you ought to be familiar with. If you're ever unsure of a rule, or about something that has happened in the thread, feel free to ask any of the staff members about it and they'll be happy to help you!  1. Cards are to be posted in .PNG format. Other file formats often reduce the quality of your card, so please save them as .PNG to ensure they look their best. If you choose to animate your card, the best quality is .GIF format. If you post your card in a different format and the quality is lowered, you may be marked down. 2. You may only enter one card per round. The first card you post in the thread once a new round is announced is the card that will be judged. For this reason, you cannot edit your card once it's entered, so be certain that you're happy with its appearance before you post it! If you submit more than one card, the first will be judged; however, if you change your entry after you originally submit it, you will be disqualified for that round. 3. Obviously, your card must fit the theme as posted by the judge. If your card does not follow the theme, you will likely be marked down or even disqualified. For this reason, always make sure you understand the theme before you submit your card. You can always ask questions if you don't understand the theme, or want clarification. Understanding the theme is a simple task, but very crucial to your success. 4. Flaming, spamming, and other disturbances will not go unpunished. Any disturbances will be handled by a judge/moderator as we see fit. If you are having an argument with someone, please move it to the PM system as to not clutter the thread. Spam posts will be reported to be removed, as will flaming and other such material. After you receive a warning, if you continue to cause problems you can be disqualified from that round, or receive a ban for future rounds depending on the severity of your offense. 5. Only give critique when the creator asks for it. A great thing about these contests is getting feedback from the judge, as well as other members who frequent the competition. As such, if you wish to get their feedback, simply ask for some critique and criticism (commonly shortened to C+C). Likewise, if you'd rather just wait for the judge to give you feedback, just kindly ask for "No C+C". If you want to give C+C to someone, make sure that you are respectful about it. If you simply bash someone's card or list a series of bad things about it, that doesn't help anyone. Be sure to be helpful and respectful. What goes around comes around, after all. (: 6. The judges are real people too. While this isn't necessarily a rule, it is a fact of life you need to acquaint yourself with and be aware of. The judges have real lives outside of Neoseeker, and as such have other commitments such as jobs, schoolwork, and family matters. As a result, sometimes judging will be a little late. We simply ask you understand that they are real people too, and that real life problems such as working, studying, and family/social commitments are more important than judging some pixels. If the judge cannot judge within a decent amount of time, a different judge will take the round. 7. Only post your own work. Submitting cards made by other people or online card generators will have you disqualified. If you use something that someone else has made, such as a template or trainer sprite, be sure you have their permission (unless it's posted in the resources section!) and give them credit when you post your card. 8. Respect everyone. Treat others how you want to be treated, and they will do the same. All other Neoseeker rules apply. Thank you for stopping by! We hope you'll considering joining in, and wish you the best of luck! We also give a big thank-you to everyone who regularly participates, for without your contributions there is no contest. If you wish to visit old passages of the thread, they are grouped here. LINKS TO OLD THREADS WILL GO HERE! (: This message was edited by FourthBeat on Dec 13 2009. | |

 This is where the current round will always be posted, along with the judge who is schedule to do the judging, as well as the expected judging date. Please note, though, the judging date is always approximate. If there are not enough entries, it will be extended. Also, the judge may have other commitments which prevents judging from being posted on that exact date. Current Theme: Ice! All Pokemon on your card must be of the Ice-Type! Always feel free to ask questions for clarification! Judge: BloodWolf Due Date: December 21st  Trainer Cards are scored on a scale of A to F, with A being the highest grade and F being the lowest. To differentiate between closely-scoring cards, pluses and minuses are also given. For example, an A+ scores higher than an A. Occasionally, cards with be given brackets as well, so an A+ scores higher than an A(+) which scores higher than an A. Rarely, a card will receive a "Star" grade, when the card is absolutely exceptional. The top three cards in each round will receive points for the scoreboard. First place wins three points, second place earns two and third place receives one. Here is the current scoreboard. Names in blue denote the status of being a judge. FourthBeat - 11 Origin - 8 Hurricarno - 5 Isilwen - 5 Aether - 3 E4 MortY - 3 Foge 2344 - 2 Anti_Righteous - 1 Dragoon - 1 Lauzi – 1 Ripulse - 1  Occasionally, a tournament will be held to see who is the top trainer card maker. Currently there are no plans for a tournament in this competition. When a tournament is announced, all information will go in this spot. This message was edited by FourthBeat on Dec 13 2009. | |

 Each round, three cards are decided to be victorious above the others. Here you can quickly browse the winning entries, and visit the judging of each round. This is also a great place to look for inspiration for your cards, as you can see what a top-grade card looks like. Essentially, you should aim to create cards of this quality. Most Recent Winner: Aether!        This message was edited by FourthBeat on Dec 13 2009. | |

First theme is Pokemon (Soul)Silver. It's pretty much an open Johto theme.

Thanks everyone, glad to see the interest C: I've got a few messages so I think I'll just try to cover all bases: We're currently not looking for more staff members, as we have three. Generally three is the best number because it allows us to rotate relatively quickly but also doesn't leave it up to one person to pick up another person's slack. Plus if there ever should be a disagreement about something, three is an odd number making sure that we never are deadlock without a decision being made. Yes, I did get permission from Sakura to make this xD I also have permission for a Spriting Contest so keep an eye for that. If there's ever anything about the current round you're wondering, all the information for that can be found in the second post. Please always look there before posting a question. If you're still unsure, feel free to ask, but only after you read that post. All-in-all we're hoping this to be a successful contest and wish you all the best! | |

Are there any HG/SS Gym Badges right now? If not, can we sub it for a DPP Gym Badge or Ribbon?

The Johto badges under the Resources spoiler would work perfectly. There also are slightly larger badges with the mugshots under the "Trainer" section in the Resources spoiler. But yes, the theme is rather open-ended so Ribbons could work, perhaps a Coordinator from Johto? I wouldn't really recommend using a badge from Sinnoh though ;] | |

Request: Could you remove all of my templates and/or replace them with
I don't really want my old work to be up there. You can keep the Frontier Pass template up there if you want, since that's the only template in the resource section that uses Hoenn's Frontier Symbols. | |
