DISCLAIMER :

I (Ariane) am the one giving most of the cash/physical prizes, so I’ll pick the winners to the best of my abilities and according to the rules of the contest/group. I will explain the reasons if I dont accept your entry.
Prizes Im offering will be given according on my own time table, before Jan. 30 2014 *

However many prizes are not offered by me so :
Prizes given by artists/contributors will be given according to their own time table (whether its a week or 6 months!), remember they are giving something for free too.
I will not rush any contributor, and neither any winner should!!!

Any Winner must be respectful of me and the contributors at all time, otherwise, me or the contributor may cancel the prize offered to you. That's really not open to discussion!

If other peoples contributes to the prizes, then we’ll vote together for the winners (if they want to)
