(There is no limit to auditions we are accepting, the numbers helps keep the Judges organized.)

• You must have a reference for your character, preferably with a front, side and  back or 3/4th side view.

• Auditions must have the character receive an invitation of some form or another. How this invite arrives and in what form is entirely up to you. You must also show your character arriving in the City- if they accept the invite, whatever may serve as a portal in their world will give them access to the City. Fairy Rings, a long forest path, a teleporter, a plain old doorway, get creative, have fun. Contestants may arrive anywhere in the City, though it is recommended they start in the areas that line up with their world. (Unless your plot calls for otherwise, again, have fun, be creative!)

• You do not need to show or use a judge NPC, or one of the provided areas. The scenery and surroundings of the City are as varied as are the stories in the world, so feel free to take the provided areas and play off of it to make your own entry area.

PLEASE SEND IN YOUR AUDITION ONLY WHEN IT IS COMPLETE, WITH YOUR REF SHEET AS WELL, IN A NOTE.

WHAT THE JUDGES ARE LOOKING FOR

:icondarkkitsunegirl:The Vigilante - This will be, first and foremost, a FIGHTING tournament. I don't want to see pacifist characters, unless they can dish out a mighty beating when pressured. Yes, smarts and wits can win the day here, but I want to see someone who can defend themselves at the least . This OCT is going back to the old days- quick, brutal, and simple. I do enjoy story, but remember, sometimes simpler or shorter is better- if you need examples, look at the old Endzone auditions, or maybe the auditions for tournaments like Rise, Escape from Nevara, and such.
Art wise, I am not picky. Any style, any medium is good (Except writing, sorry guys, but that just causes complications for the judges and other competitors). I'm more interested in story and characters, so don't worry if you are not the best art wise. Just have fun!

:iconfluna:Right Hand- Mainly what I look in an audition is something interesting and not cluttered, something that makes me want to know more about your character (I think you get my point, something that makes me vote for you when we decide on the roster).
Give panels and text some space... and speaking of text, please get someone to proofread what you write! I can't stress enough how important is that; I know tournaments are for fun, but take them as practice for everything in life, to give the best out of you (and that includes well written stuff).

:iconfox7xd: Magic Trickster When it comes to judging OCTs, the main thing I look for is story and paneling. Art is key too, but I’ve been shown by so many talented artists that you can tell a mind blowing story with minimal art and/or experience. So for now I’ll be looking for a bit of everything, but mostly story; as in plot development, character interaction (to another character, situation, environment, ect.) and how well the story flows over all. Which comes to paneling, I’m big on how well your paneling displays your story. You can have great art, and an amazing story, but if your pacing jumbles and cracks everywhere, it’ll ruin it. This also includes how scenes are presented in the panels : whether the page is nothing but face shots, or how much background appears to let the reader know where the character is, all that good stuff.

:iconovershadowed:Little Dreamer Auditions are not only introducing your character into the theme of the OCT, but for a lot of your readers an introduction to the characters themselves. Even the briefest of flashbacks and/or character development will draw readers’ attention to your work.
For myself, I look almost entirely at storytelling, but that doesn’t mean it needs to be lengthy. Some of the best stories are told in shorter entries, so don’t hurt yourselves pumping out ridiculous amounts of pages just to get your story across.
Even though it’s an audition, I’ll still be looking for story. There should be a good reason as to why your character goes to the City. If there isn’t a reason or a reason that doesn’t work with your character’s personality, then they’re being out of character which is a huge turn off in OCTs.
Do note, this is a fighting tournament. Even if your character uses the ‘Brain vs Brawn’ approach, honestly that will only help you last so long in this tournament. "
As you progress through the OCT try different approaches as to how your character wins. If we see the same pattern repeated a lot, we’ll probably lose interest quickly.

This OCT has blown my mind away at how many people auditioned. I highly doubt I'll make it in, but at least this time I can say I tried.

Look at who is offering prizes. It reveals all. Also this is one of the few well constructed and open OCTs that appear once a year.

No worries there. I've looked through all of the auditions and there's a decent number of animal/beast characters in there.
