HOWDY

How's it going stateballers and welcome to this months edition of Stateball contest: but it's late again! I like people. do you like people? Cause I do. I like local people even more. I also love representation, don't you want to see entities that almost never appear in stateball? I have no good segue into this theme.

Make a comic about a Native Tribe!

Specific Contest Rules

• This doesn't mean the comic has to be about a native tribe but the comic needs to include a native tribe in it. That DOES NOT mean you should have a native tribe off in the corner in one panel, IT MUST PLAY AN ACTIVE ROLE IN THE COMIC

• Don't know any native tribes? In the US we have famous ones like the Navajo, Cherokee, and Iroquois. Canada is famous for the Inuit and Metis tribes and Mexico is famous for the Mexica, Maya, and Zapotec. Of course there are PLENTY more great and other well-known tribes I encourage you to do a quick google search.

• "but stateballmooooood I dont caaaaaare about nativeeeee tribessssss" well why dont you spend some time LEARNING huh???????? LEARN NEW THINGS HUH???????? With google it only takes a few minutes to learn the basics on a tribe! "but how am I supposed to represent the ball in a funny way when I only know the basics of a tribe??" Name one thing you know about Suriname other than "Sheriff Suriname." I REST MY CASE, GO ENRICH YOUR TINY MIND IF YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT X or Y TRIBE AND ENJOY MAKING YOUR COMIC I DONT KNOW WHY I PUT THIS IN THE RULES SECTION BUT WHO CARES

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 Golden Gun recipient 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.
