ENTRY PERIOD HAS ENDED: Please check out the voting thread to give some love to your favorite entry!

Okay you all, I'm sure at least some of you noticed the ahem..lack of submissions to May's contest. As in like zero, zilch, nada.

Well, that's on me. Specifically, that's on me making the contest perhaps a bit too complicated. Lesson learned! The good news is I received a lot of great feedback regarding how to better improve on the contests to generate more participation, and so with that feedback in mind, I'm introducing the Kanto Remake NEW monthly contest format!

It's basically...the same! But with simpler themes and submission guidelines! Exciting! The main thing I want out of the contests is for them to be fun for people to enter, to add a little excitement with friendly competition, and to have unique and fun themes based on the month. So why make a mountain out of a Diglett hill?

Okay, so here's how this month is going to work:

• Theme: June Bug, because it's June! So...something involving any bug type pokemon...or any bug at all (glitches and such) from our runs
• Medium: ANY That's right, writing, art, videos, whatever! Just something creative and fun about (a) cool bug pokemon(s) from one (or more) of our runs, or just some cool glitches!
• Deadline: June 27th, 2100 EST
• Voting Period: June 27th 2101 EST to July 1st 0000 EST

Additional details: Seriously, anything can be submitted. Again, you can post it as a stand-alone submission on the sub but also include a link in the comments below to count as a submission. We'll once again have top 3 placement prizes with reddit gold on the line, plus a bonus prize for first place: a gifted one month subscription ($9.99 USD level) or 2 months ($4.99 USD level) to a Twitch stream of your choice.

If we happen to have several submissions in different types of mediums (i.e. written stories, drawings, etc.) I will consider adding voting for "Best of Type X" independent of the top 3 to increase the pool of people who can win, reddit gold also being the prize in these voting categories. I will make this determination sometime during the week leading up to the submission deadline based off of participation up to that point.

Okay, hopefully this is a more inviting contest format, would love to see what you all can make!
