3x3 Eyes 10th Anniversary Contest

Official Rules

ENTRY FORMAT:
In as creative a manner as possible, the contestant should provide an entry consisting of a possible name for the next 3x3 Eyes anime series, along with any supporting material that demonstrates why the chosen name is the best choice. The entry must contain the contestant's clearly marked guess for the title of the series. The entry must also contain the contestant's name and contact information (preferably an email address). The supporting material is optional, and can take virtually any form (essay, picture, video, sculpture, and so forth). There are no minimum or maximum length requirements. Creativity should be the main objective, not correctness. In other words, each entry will be judged on its own merits, and not whether the guess for the title is proven to be correct. In particular, the entry does not have to correspond with the storyline established by the existing anime and manga series. However, the entry should not deviate too far from the 3x3 Eyes theme.
The title, contestant information, and any supporting material should be in English. If another language is used (i.e. Japanese) then a translation should be provided.

CONTESTANT RESTRICTIONS:
Contest entries will be accepted from any person in any country worldwide, except where prohibited by national or local laws or regulations. Contest judges cannot enter the contest themselves. Two or more people may submit a contest entry as a group, but the number of people who worked on the entry must be submitted with the entry.

ENTRY SUBMISSION:
Entries should be submitted via email during the time period between the submission start and end dates. If the entry cannot be submitted via email, the contestant should contact the judges for specific submission information (i.e. a postal address or other instructions). In particular, if it would be impractical to submit the supporting material itself, a picture of the material may be sufficient.
A contestant may only submit one (1) entry. In the event that multiple entries are received from a single contestant, only the first entry will be considered. Only entries submitted between the specified submission dates will be considered. The judge(s) reserves the right to refuse any entry (for example, if it does not follow the rules specified here). A contestant will be notified if their entry is refused, and they may submit a new entry before the end date of the contest.

WINNERS:
There will be a single winner (no ties), and there may be one or more honorable mentions, depending upon the entries received. For example, there may be an honorable mention for the best humorous entry, if the winning entry is serious. Also, if an entry does correctly guess the name of the new 3x3 Eyes anime, it will receive a special honorable mention. If more than one correct entry is received, only the first one will receive this special award. This special award depends upon an announcement of the new anime series before the announcement of the winners, which may or may not happen. The quality and variety of the entries will determine if there are any honorable mentions, at the discretion of the judge(s). If a group of people collaborate on a winning entry, they share the awarded prize. Prizes are listed on the main contest page.

DISPLAY OF ENTRIES:
By submitting an entry to the contest, the contestant grants the contest holder the right to display the entry, in whole or in part, on the World Wide Web. The contestant retains all other rights to their entry. If the entry was not submitted electronically, the contestant can request that it be returned when the contest is complete, provided the contestant pays for return postage. The winning entry and any honorable mentions will be displayed, and a selected number of non-winning entries may also be displayed depending on the number and quality of entries received. Submitting an entry does not guarantee that it will be displayed. The contestant has the right to request that their entry not be displayed, if it is not the winner or one of the honorable mentions. Such a request should be included with the entry.

CONTEST CHANGES AND UPDATES:
This contest is subject to postponement or cancellation, and the rules are subject to change, at any time without prior notice, should such an action be justified. Any contestants who submit entries prior to such an action will be notified via email, and an announcement will be made on the main contest page. No guarantee of prizes is given or implied to anyone who enters the contest. It is the responsibility of the contestant to comply with all contest rules as they appear on the submission start date.
