It takes more than a pretty face to be a top model. This contest is going to prove that. In all rounds your sim’s face will be concealed (masks, shadows or poses) in each fierce round you will have to sell your model and the fashion by their poses and not the beauty of their face. Also, to add to the being concealed the creators of each model will be concealed also, all entries will be pm’d to the host and posted by her…now, your model will truly be fully concealed to all.



• Adult female and males can apply
• Rounds will be 4-5 days (depending on the number of pics required for the tasks). Judging 1 day.
• Photoshopping is allowed and in most cases necessary due to all rounds will be about print advertisements…there can be no altering of the actual Sims…i.e.: no simmerizing.
• Simposing is not allowed.
• Modeling hacks are allowed but, would like to encourage you to be creative and maybe use the hacks as a source to photoshop your poses so, they are more unique.
• Any size sims is welcome but, must be human.
• Can enter up to 2 Sims, but only one will make it to Round 1.
• Do not submit downloaded Sims to the contest, they have to be your own creations
• Do not submit thumbnails with a link to your photo submission...all photos must be submitted to me as a full photo with no links.
• Please refer to this link for the forum’s contest and contestant rules http://forums.sims2community.com/showthread.php?t=28741

The following rules are most important for you to be considered for the each round!
• Make sure that you submit pictures for each round, if you can not submit them in the time frame outlined, send me a PM, before the deadline, with an explanation. No deadline extensions will be given unless you have a really good reason (i.e.: pc/game issues, family emergency). If an extension is given it will be only for a few extra hours, no extra days will be handed out. We are being hard on this out of fairness to the other contestants who have made an effort to be on time, we know that emergencies come up and you will not be penalized for those. If you feel that you will not have the time to devote to this and meet the deadlines then you probably are not going to get far in the rounds. Anyone not submitting pictures in the required timeframe or has not be given an extension will be eliminated.
• Any public whining about a task is concerned unprofessional and something that we frown upon.
• Be nice and respectful…finally, have fun and enjoy this experience



Note: to judges…modeling hacks are allowed out of fairness, not everyone is skilled with photo-editing applications so, if you are bias to modeling hacks and feel that you can not judge or comment fairly then please pass this by.

Requirements: Must fill out the provided score card for each round, respond with their scores within 24 hours, give comments for each round….please pm me if you are interested.

This contest will run from (7/20/08 to 8/20/08 (30 days)

• Do not post replies and/or contest applications before the contest host has checked in on this thread, or your post will be deleted.
  
• DO NOT WRITE USELESS POSTS like "Hey cool contest, I think I might join." Reserve type posts and useless posts about coming back with an application will be deleted.

Here and excited to get started so bring in those applications everyone!!

Remember all applications need to be pm'd to me and not posted into the thread...it is okay to say in the thread that you are going to enter and chat about the contest...just do not mention who your sims is....I do realize that in the end we will probably have a good idea of who belongs to who...each creator usually has their own style that shines through...but, lets try to keep as much a mystery as we can .

Applications will end on the 25th at 8:00 pm EST...hopefully with lots of contestants.

emergency judge please!

this sounds way cool.

im joining, i told you i would

when you mean the face must be concealed does that mean a mask from in game or photoshopped? and will it be like that every round?

great grayx3eyedsoul will post you as EJ and thank you amd welcome to Concealed!

Ashley, I am a photoshop freak so anything goes with photoshopping...it can be in-game also, it can be with your hands, hiding behind an object etc.

Ohhhhhhh and Ashley I am so happy you will be entering...my mind got wrapped around answering your question forgot to say how pleased I would be to have you in the contest!

oh awesome! i already have a simmie in mind
i really like the idea of it being a mystery-good thinking and very creative

Thanks Ashley, it is going to be fun and interesting to see how each person conceals a portion of their sims faces each round and for each photo.

By the way at least half the face has to be concealed in each photo and for applications.

Important Note:

No submitting thumbnails with links to your photos....please submit your full photo submission to me without links of any kind.

Haha, I was juuust about to ask how much of one's face needed to be concealed.
:3 I'm entering this~! I'll PM you my application soon.

yay-competing with Jill

grins....great Jill...ohhhhhh wonderful Jill and Ashley it is going to be a fun and great contest!!

:3 Yep! A great contest with great competition and great people.
XD; Now, if only Bodyshop'd load. *kicks my computer*

Be back in a little bit, going to have dinner and then watch "Next Food Network Star" .

Peeks back in to see what is happening and if there are any applicants or questions.

whooo this harder than i expected lol. u deffinately got work cut out for me DiDi, but its really fun trying to make them sort of hidden. i just didnt like how my ideas are turning out.

*goes back and tries again*

I am sure that you are going to do fantastic Ashley...well, everyone loves a challenge right? Lol...I can't wait to see what you come up with . If it helps pretty much all of the rounds the background will be provided for you so, you can just think about the pose, outfit and concealment....I know not much but, one less thing you all have to worry about.

Wow, I'm glad this went through! Sounds really fun.
I'm not exactly thinking of entering.. So I'll lurk..

Janne you are welcome to lurk ...I do a lot of that myself...you could always think of being a judge?

999rozes - Your sims is gorgeous and what a great job concealing......there is only one problem, all applications, entries, and later on round submission need to be pm'd to me instead of posting in the public thread. That way the identity of the creator is hidden. If you quickly delete the thread so not too many have seen who created your sims and pm her photo and info to me so I can post it .


Good morning everyone! I would just like to mention that my pm inbox is empty with not an application to be seen .

This contest seems like a lot of fun! I'm definately going to try to enter. Just a quick question: what exactly is simposing?

Simposing is creating poses by using a program called Simpose.

Ah, thank you. Heh, I'm a total noob when it comes to this stuff...xD

DiDi I pmed my appie to u ^_^

Hey there Essa ...thanks hun for fielding that question.

999Rozes - thanks!
