Howdy, sunbathers, rain lovers, and meteorologists!

Spring is in full swing, and y'all know what that means: Some nice weather sandwiched between the icy winters and hellish summers. Speaking of weather, we've got a cool theme this month! (You'll never guess what it is)

Make a comic about the weather!

Specific Contest Rules

• Your comic must include something weather or climate related. The plot must heavily feature the weather of your choice.

General Contest Rules

• You must follow the official Stateball Tutorial.
• You must follow the official Constitution of Stateball.
• The comic must have a minimum of 3 panels and a maximum of 8 panels.
• The comic must have been written and drawn entirely by yourself.
• No animated GIFs accepted.
• No photorealism.
• Post your comic to the subreddit with the blue "Contest Entry" flair.
• You may post more than one entry, but only the highest performing of your comics will be able to qualify for a gun award. For example, if you post two contest entries and they get 1st and 3rd, you do not get two sets of different guns; you would only get the Golden Guns award.
• The deadline for submitting your entry is Thursday, April 27, at 20:00 GMT

Choosing the winner

After all of the entries have been submitted and the deadline has passed, the moderators will take a private vote to decide the first, second and third places. All entries will be ranked from 1 to 10, with the final score being the average of all votes. The winner of last month's contest will also be allowed to vote on this month's entries.

Once all of our votes are tallied, the full list of results will be posted in an Awards Ceremony thread. The artist who receives the highest score will be awarded the Golden Guns, which they will keep next to their username for one month until the end of the next contest.

The highest-scoring non-mod participant will also be able to vote with the mods on the entries for the next contest.

The artists with the second and third highest scores will receive the Silver and Bronze Gun Awards, respectively, which will act in a similar manner.

All three gun winners can crosspost their comics to r/Polandball.

Good luck, and always pack an umbrella!
