About:

This is the most easiest contest I've ever thrown but it serves a greater purpose of protection and positivity; I'm throwing this because I've noticed alot of sad art throwing negativity at seals. An influx of it that is and it's awful. I know Katie searches the term "Seals" in here so I cant allow this to go on. We need to defeat this negativity and bring out more positivity to defend these innocent creatures in the best way possible. So the contest will be something seally like seals wearing funny and cute fashion outfits. It sends a message that they are like us and not meant to be harmed in such awful ways just for nothing. I've missed so many opportunities to protect them over the years and as a result their lives have ended in such horrible ways leaving awful memories that will haunt us forever. This is the least I can do but we wont stand helpless. Let's do the best we can in the simplest way possible.

Examples/Ideas:

Here's how it goes:

Basically you can play dress up with cute seals. You can dress up the seals as any style or costume you like. They can wear cute things like hats, sports, toys, costume, jewelry, shirts, dresses, shoes, pants, etc. It's your gift to them. They can be dressed as you, characters from works of fiction, your oc's or fan characters, etc.
If you can, please add this message or something like it (It's optional but it helps alot): "Please Protect Our Super Cute Seals <3"

What is allowed:

Drawings and art of all kinds: Sketches, Lineart, Paintings, Digital and Traditional, Literature, Photographs, Photoshops, Photoedits, Plush, Sculptures, etc.
You can put your character or humans beside the seal but they cannot be harming it. They can be saying a positive message.
You can draw multiple seals.
You can give it backgrounds.
You can dress them like a celebrity or well known character (ex: Spiderman, Dr.Phil. sans, naruto, mario, etc.)
You can do characters that are antagonists but the result has to look cute (Itachi, Bowser, Final Asriel, etc.)

What's not allowed:

A SEAL CHARACTER that is already made into an antagonist. (Not allowed for good reason)
Anything that's just an insult towards what I'm doing. I've been so kind towards people and it really breaks my heart when that kindness is taken advantage of only for self satisfaction for one's ego. I do my best to make this world better for everyone. Dont ever betray that because I work towards a greater good and though I started because of my girlfriend, I now truly see how important this is and it's become a huge part of my life.
Nothing of any controversial nature or shock (Criminals or crime etc.).
No fur coats or outfits that portray anything was hurt to make it.
Nothing gorey or themes that that have a negative context.
The obvious: No vulgar content- Sexual themes, foul language, or violence.
No predatory animals beside the seals or the seal dressed as them.
Seals that are Pokemon (Nothing against pokemon at all! Trust me! I'm a huge fan! Also, I'm a huge advocate of popplio and am part of the people that like him as a starter. #poppliodefensesquad But the focus will just be shifted towards the pokemon and it will just be pokemon fanart. You can however dress seals as a pokemon or trainer like a seal dressed as pikachu or ash etc. I'd love that and it will look so cute/work great!)
