What is LSMS?
Last Signature Maker Standing (LSMS) is an elimination graphic contest, in which each round the contestants will be challenged under certain specifications and the last person “Standing” will be the winner.

How does it work?
Each week the hostess will proportionate a theme and the contestants must send one (or more) signature that responds to said theme. When the time is up, the hostess will post the signatures (anonymously) and the voting start.
In each round we will award the next things:
~ 2 People’s Choice: The winners of the round (awarded with votes)
~ 1 Mod’s Choice: Chosen by the hostess
~ Special Category: This can vary from round to round

Also, in each round there will be at least one contestant eliminated. The graphics with more negative votes or the editors that fail to deliver the graphic on time will be eliminated.

What is a pass?
Each contestant will have one PASS ticket that can only be used once in the entire contest (except the last round) and it means that the contestant can skip one round without being eliminated.


Are there any rules?
Aside from the forum rules, we have a few rules:
~ The contestant CAN’T show anyone the graphic until the voting for said round is over (that way we can keep the contest anonymously until the results of the week)
~ The contestant CAN’T ask anyone to vote for his/her graphics
~ The contestant CAN’T use old graphics or other peoples graphics
~ The votes MUST be sent via private message

How much time will the contestant have to make the graphic?
Each round will last 1 week:
Week 1 | Monday: Theme/Challenge presentation
Week 1 | Thursday: Last day of graphics reception
Week 1 | Friday: Voting start
Week 1 | Sunday: Last day of voting
Week 2 | Monday: Last challenge results and new theme/challenge presentation
And so on, until we have a winner

Probably there will be a Come Back Round at some point of the contest. On that round one or more eliminated contestant may come back to the competition. In this round, the other contestants won’t have to participate.

So sign up on this thread to participate. Hope you join in our first contest that i think is going to help a lot.
