In honour of me getting close to hitting 2k followers and as a little birthday thing for myself (which isn't until May but whatever), I've decided to hold a graphics contest! I am INCREDIBLY grateful for all of you who have supported me to get to this point. Writing has been such a big part of my life and especially here on Wattpad and I just can't believe how many of you read my writing on a daily basis! And so I hold this contest in celebration!

You are able to submit anything considered a graphic, covers, gifs, video edits (!!), moodboards, manips, anything you like! Just read and follow the rules or I will not consider your graphics! You may submit your entries through pm or tag me in a misc chapter!

To anyone who chooses to enter, THANK YOU! 

PLEASE READ THE RULES CAREFULLY!
(rules by @astrxids)

01. be respectful and kind to all of the contestants and entries, I will not tolerate anyone being rude and if you are, your graphics will be disqualified and put on a blacklist. so, just be nice!

02. your entries have to be made and belong to you. If I find out that you have plagiarised somebody else's work or taken inspiration without credit, your graphics will again be disqualified and put on the blacklist.

03. the amount of entries you submit are unlimited, but as with any graphic contest, the amount of entries does not guarantee you a spot as a winner. I will be judging the graphics based off accuracy to the story, quality, and the effect it has on me personally. That being said, I am always appreciative of any graphics that are submitted because it is an excellent way to showcase your abilities and incredible talent.

04. the deadline for all graphics is May 18 (Ik that's long). if you are in desperate need of an extension I will grant it, but I'm hoping to have all graphics in by that time. The results will be posted by May 25 or later, depending on how hard it is to judge the graphics

05. in order to participate in this contest, comment "I'm in" and tag one other person that you think would be interested in participating!

STORIES TO MAKE GRAPHICS FOR! 
(layout inspired by @Raichia & @astrxids)

SOMEWHERE IN TIME

fandom: MCU (Eternals)

faceclaims: Jamie Chung (not from The Gifted), Barry Keoghan (Druig), Emma Chan (Sersi), Salma Hayek (Ajak), Lia McHugh (Sprite), Kit Harington (Dane Witman), the rest of the Eternals cast

love interest: Druig

playlist: "Achilles Come Down" by Gang of Youths + "Like Real People Do" by Hozier + "Skyfall" by Adele + "Evermore" by Dan Stevens + "Underground" by Cody Fry

short summary: Artemis. Greek Goddess of wild animals and the hunt, and Eternal. Sent to earth alongside her fellow Eternals by their creator, Arishem the Judge, they were to eradicate the planet of all Deviants or risk the valuable population of earth. And like the majority of her family, she fell in love with the humans, but there was a catch. Everything they were told...was a lie.

presentation moodboard: 

FALL FROM GRACE

fandom: Star Wars

face claims: Lily James, Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi), Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker), Toby Regbo (Reign), Natalie Portman (Padme Amidala), James McAvoy (X-Men: First Class)

love interest: Obi-Wan Kenobi

playlist: "Live Like Legends" by Ruelle + "Speechless" by Naomi Scott + "Ashes" by Celine Dion

short summary: Xzara Ardmore, warrior princess and seventh child to the King of Aquilae. Under the threat of a waring planet, her protection is placed in the trust of Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and padawan trainer Ahsoka Tano.

presentation moodboard:

MUSE

fandom: The Witcher

face claims: Freya Mavor, Joey Batey (Jaskier), Henry Cavill (Geralt), Anya Chalotra (Yennefer), Freya Allen (Ciri)

love interest: Jaskier 

playlist: "Her Sweet Kiss" by Joey Batey + "Skinny Love" by Birdy + "Learn Me Right" by Birdy, Mumford & Sons + "Fairytale" by Alexander Rybak

short summary: The Tigress Temeria, the Sovereign of Song, the Tamer of Witchers. She was known by many names by many people across the Continent, but to Jaskier, she was simply his muse, and he, her Dandelion.

presentation moodboard:

WAIT FOR ME

fandom: The Amazing Spider-Man

face claims: Christian Serratos, Andrew Garfield (Peter Parker)

love interest: Peter Parker

playlist: "People Watching" by Conan Gray + "I Hear a Symphony" by Cody Fry + "Wait For Me" from Hadestown

short summary: Gwen Stacy was dead and Spider-Man was nowhere to be found. Crime was rampant in New York, but that didn't stop Maria from coming to the city. She had her job at the Daily Bugle that she needed to focus on and the lack of a web-slinger would not stop her.

presentation moodboard:

SAVE ME

fandom: The Hunger Games 

face claims: Brittany O'Grady, Brenton Thwaites, Storm Reid (A Wrinkle in Time), Tyrel Jackson Williams (Lab Rats), Donald Sutherland (President Snow), Stanley Tucci (Caeser Flickerman)

relationship: female oc (brittany) x male oc (brenton)

playlist: "The Hanging Tree" by Jennifer Lawrence + "Run Boy Run" by Woodkid + "Start a War" by Klergy  + "Arcade" by Duncan Laurence 

short summary: Before Katniss Everdeen, before the liberation of the districts, two victors fell in love and uncovered a secret hidden deep within the Captiol.

presentation moodboard:

NYCTOPHILIA

fandom: The Batman/DC

face claims: Adrianne Palicki (aos), Robert Pattinson (Bruce Wayne), Jeffery Wright (James Gordan), Andy Serkis (Alfred Pennyworth), Michelle Pfeiffer

love interest: Bruce Wayne

playlist: "Blood // Water" by grandson + "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons + "Enemy" by Imagine Dragons + "all the good girls go to hell" by Billie Eilish + "Burning Pile" by Mother Mother

short summary: No one ended up in Gotham on purpose. Everyone had their reasons for being there and none were good -- crime, poverty, the list goes on and on. The one thing everyone had in common, however, is that no matter how hard they tried, they could never leave, and Norah Achlys knew that all too well.

presentation moodboard:

(if there is a story not shown here that you would like to make a graphic for, go ahead! these were just the few that I had picked, but I am not opposed if you would like to make one for something else)
