Do you love adventures? Show us by entering Camp Veta 2016’s adventure contest!



You can enter one of the four categories which are:



    Drawing: Show us an adventure with a subeta pet or NPC using any medium like pencil, paint, markers, etc. Remember that there are no computers at Camp Veta, so we will not be accepting digital art submissions! Don’t forget to describe your picture in the text box on the submission page.

    Sculpture: Show us an adventure with a subeta pet or NPC using mediums like food, wood, clay, etc! Don’t forget to describe your picture in the text box on the submission page.

    Human Avatar: Show us your most adventurous human avatar. You can submit an HA in one of two subcategories, a human avatar that uses custom wearables or one that doesn’t. You can only submit one entry, so keep that in mind!

    Writing: You have a max of 5,000 characters to write a short story about a subeta themed adventure!




You will have until August 18th at 11:59pm to submit your entry. You and your fellow campers will be voting for your favorites on the 19th and 20th. I’ll be awarding prizes on the 21st.



Prizes: All participants will receive a participation ribbon that will appear on your profile with your other trophies and medals. Participants will also receive the forum title wants s’more. The three people with the most votes in each category will receive a trophy, the forum title pitched a tent, and 500 cash shop credits.

@Amber ok thank you ^^
Amber STAFF
@Taters Sorry I didn’t answer this earlier! But yes, it can be more humanized pets for this.
@Fenrir Yes, one entry per person
@oopale It can be any sort of adventure; camping is one type of adventure sure. But so is exploring space (like we had the subteateam HA for the first part of the month), so is going for a long journey like bilbo baggins in the hobbit etc.
@Ganondorf The HA doesn’t need to have the actual human base, just as long as you get the adventure point across! :)
Taters
@Amber
Did you ever get an answer on the human/pet bit?
Marissa
Is this one entry per person?
Frenchi
i too would like to know if scode can be used in the story submissions, or otherwise how to format italitcs/bolds/etc...
Elysium
I'd like to think my Jurassic Park inspired zombie HA submission will at least garner a few votes. I mean, who else would be in a good position to revive ancient species but an eccentric zombie with nothing but time(and apparently plenty of oozing blood) on his hands?
oopale
I already submitted my HA but now I wonder, does it have to be a "realistic" camp look, like boots and shorts? Or can it be like a Shadowglen zombie going on an adventure in Arctic Frost? :/
Burton
Okay @Amber I read every comment before I bugged you, and I didn't see this question, and it was the first thing I wondered. XD in the ha contest. Does it have to include a human avatar or can we use other items to show an adventure, like the companions/lifelike dolls/etc?
StarShadow
I just wish there was a way to title our HA entry to explain the story behind it, like "In Arctic Frost on dangerous quest to find a magic star that heals injured pets".
Nebet
I haven't written anything in forever, but I'm going to try. :P
kacchan
In the story entry box, would I use sCode to italicize a word?
Tris
5,000 CHARACTERS? That's like 500 words wth.
Nuke
I thought it said 5,000 words so here I am with my unfinished 14,000 character story like OOPS I GUESS I NEED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT

sob
KimC
@Amber Oh, it's at the TOP of the page! I see it now. I was running my cursor all over the text looking for a hyperlink. D'uh!
Country
Will the entries be anonymous to the other users whom are voting or will our user names be included?
RunningWild
This would be fun if I didn't have a 3000 word essay as my priorities right now! xD
Sad I won't be able to do traditional drawings but I could possibly do a small one instead. So cool! :)
Amber STAFF
@KimC Go to the Human Avatars section for the contest and make sure you’re wearing the human avatar you want to submit. You’ll see it on the page and hit the “enter current human avatar” button!
KimC
@Amber How do you enter a HA? I don't see any hyperlinks anywhere...
Hosui
YES traditional art contest!
Beren
@Amber, thank you so much
so now I need to get going, do some shopping and stuff
Amber STAFF
@Beren Yes, that counts! I look forward to seeing what you build! :D
Beren
@Kbbob thanks

So I can hope!
I would really like it confirmed, so I can start.

@Amber - is this included? (Diorama)
Glint
How do you submit an avatar?
Tali
@Amber Yesss that is perfect! Then I'll give my idea a shot. And thank you for the fast response!
Amber STAFF
@Tali You just need at least one
Tali
I rather like the idea of traditional art rather than digital. I haven't drawn more than a doodle with pencil and paper in such a long time, and I think I have a good idea for this.

Are we only limited to 1 Subeta pet or NPC? Or would it be cool if we wanted to draw say, 2 Subeta pets and 2 NPCs in the one entry, for example?
archfey
just submitted my HA entry, since that's the only one I can really do at the moment! can't wait to see all the entries from everyone :)
Kevin
@TaleSpin
as long as it resembles a subeta pet, I'm sure it's allowed :)

@Beren
Sewing is included in sculpture, so I bet a diorama would be included
Infinipede
Ugh, I'm godawful at traditional art. I can only do pixel art well.

also just personal feelings but I don't get why a lot of traditional artists think digital artists have an advantage. I've never understood that? I am so jealous of anyone who can do watercolors, marker, or hell, any traditional medium well... it's like, impossible to capture that look with digital work.

oh well.
Someone
Wow, picking one.
Stiles
Hope this isn't taken the wrong way at all, but I was actually excited when I saw the News update say CAMP and thought we were getting a Summer event :) Not sure if I'll enter this or not, but curious to see what others come up with.
Xenalicious
Interesting. Not sure if I will submit anything. I will definitely vote though.
TaleSpin
@Amber Are custom pet colors (IE a telenine that resembles a real dog in coloring) allowed for the art contest or only official Subeta colors? I'm cool either way, just wanna make sure before I put it on paper.
Frenchi
@Corsair
unfortunately yes, spaces and formatting all count towards the character count. you can see how close you are to the limit on the counter at the bottom of the story submission page.
Corsair
@Amber
Wait, do spaces and formatting count as characters?
Please don't let spaces = characters, please ...
Ewok
Keen on the writing contest _
Time to come up with another adventure!
Beren
@Amber question on sculptures...
does that include some diorama things?
Taters
@Frenchi
Omg yes they would be so cute for this sort of story, summer, outdoors, way more fitting. But gosh...I actually had never thought about what they would be shortened to.
NeonDinosaur
Traditional art only huh? >:) rubs hands together with evil grin
Frenchi
@Taters
jaxian? naw man im talking esthemma... emmsther... whats their ship name?? it doesnt matter they are gay and i luv them.
Taters
@Amber
Dude Im totally going to, just for you :u even if I dont for this contest.
And awesome, thank you! I know others are probably wondering as well.

@Frenchi
I am sure Ian and Jaxon wouldnt mind a cute little summer camp fic ;D
[NPC] Saggitarius STAFF
@Rainstorm Excuse me, what?
Frenchi
upon further thought i have realized that if i really want to play to my strengths i should do what i do best, which is write super mushy gay fanfiction... let's see how this goes :O
Sovereign
mfw no digital art
Hamda
In EACH category?

That's AWESOME!!!! art categories are bound to get more attention but if it's split then we all get a shot at winning u

Thanks guys! Will work on something :D
Zammona
Ohhhh working on my drawing! Featuring Zasaba. <3
Julie
Color pencils and/or sculpture art.
I'll see what I can come up with.
Porygon
time to write about saggi finally handing over all his money B)
Mythology
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Screech93
I am so fraking happy right now!
Austria
@Amber I have the same questions as others (pets that are actually humans, and how to italicize), will you be making some official statement somewhere with the answers?
Cheshire
This is a good reason to dust off my poor neglected sketchbook.
Cream
@Grishiu

Summer isn't over yet and amber has hinted there will still be something, This is just to occupy us for a bit ;)
EagleWing
Yes, a traditional art contest.
Merlin
I'M SO EXCITED

Grishiu
I'm glad we're doing something this summer, but I'm very disappointed it's not an actual plot :/ I guess I'll get drawing something.
Xezvi
ARGH I want to wear all my cool adventure outfits at the SAME TIME! D8
Amber STAFF
@Taters I'll check on the human/vs pet thing but like I WOULD LOVE IF YOU MADE A STAMP. i want subeta themed stamps irl pls make it happen
Diprosopus
i would write something but i'm way too lazy and uninspired. good luck to any entrants!
Taters
@Amber
With the stories, can you write about human pets? Like ones not in their feral form? Most of mine tend to be humans that I just make look more animal for the overlay and all.

Also, would something like making a stamp work? It is carving of sorts 8D
Muerte
PREPARE THINESELVES FOR MY VERY DETAILED STICK FIGURES.
They are glorious blobs. Totally won't look like a two year old got a hold of someones crayons.
QnQ
Vars
i rly like the rules for this <3 and pitched a tent is so cute but i will def be getting a participation prize im pretty sure LMFAO BUT HEY U NEVER KNO RITE
Gypsy
I think I am going to enter the writing category, or the HA one perhaps.
Tserel
I feel like everyone will go art or HA, so do I differ for chances' sake or do what I'm better at? The tough questions.
dotSei
No digital art entries? :C awww. ok.
nicolas
@Amber Question of interest, but does using sCode work in the writing category, like using the italics tags and such?
nicolas
Oh lord, the one entry pains me. Do I want to try and put together a decent HA? Or should I write...?
Marlboro
@Amber Your entry has been updated!
Thank you! :)
Amber STAFF
@Marlboro Try again?
Kilala
This sounds like such a fun idea :)!! Unfortunately I'm shy about my writing and art skills, so I shall just watch from the sidelines and see what others can come up with. Good luck to you all!!!!
Marlboro
@Amber thanks please let me know, thankfully I could click back and the story was there so now I saved it on my computer :)
Annika
The 'character used' button turning orange definitely startled me. :joy:

I hope my story went through, the url said success but nothing really indicated that my entry was received.
Amber STAFF
@Frenchi any kind of adventure you want WHO DOESN’T WANT TO GO TO SPACE AND EXPLORE. We kept it broad so that you could choose between exploring the unknown, being chased down in a jungle like Indiana Jones, etc etc.
@Marlboro will let a programmer know!
Marlboro
@Amber
I'm submitting a story and it's just bringing me back to the home page of the camp and nothing, the writing is blank nothing is saying that I did something..
Hunger
Yay! Ill be making an HA, sounds like fun!

Wondering I this will be part of a bigger event....
Frenchi
oh man i'm so torn between a drawing entry and an avatar entry! on the one hand making HAs is my thing... but on the other hand, i'm not sure if i can come up with something sufficiently 'adventurous' (not even entirely sure what that means! are we talking indiana jones adventurous? space explorer adventurous? ancient magic warrior adventurous?) and i would love to try my hand at a drawing, i haven't done a proper art piece in ages and... ugh, i just don't know what to do!
FCoD
Well I'm not that great at drawing, don't have the energy to come up with a story... so please let the wardrobe work so I can at least try and enter. :)

This should be fun, look forward to seeing everyone's entries.
Elwyn
@Amber
No worries! Now which of my pets want to go on an adventure? This will be fun! :)
TaleSpin
For the art contest: can custom colors be used (ex: a telenine colored like a real dog) or only official pet colors?
tendril
@Amber
haha all good - was just making sure I knew all the rules before I got too far into it - thank you!
Amber STAFF
@pulp @Elwyn Whoops! I read Elwyn’s question as art, sorry! The writing just has to be subeta themed/related (it’d be nice to include an NPC or something). SORRY ABOUT THAT.
honey_bear
I'd love to try the writing one. But keeping it UNDER 5,000 characters is going to be tough :). Good luck to everyone entering, whichever category you choose :)
tendril
@Amber
er, so the story has to include a subeta-species pet or an NPC? It can't just be in a subeta setting?
stars_water
Subeta, why must you say "all media", give us the two seconds it takes to come up with and get excited for a drawing idea, and then immediately crush it with "no computers"? Couldn't you have just said "all traditional media"?
Ferinsy
Well, unfortunately, english isn't my first language, I'd love to write something. Already did in contests back in Neopets (fansites) and always used to win :P Buuut, it was in portuguese lol
I'll try to come up with a brilliant HA, otherwise I'll have to give a try at drawing (never sculpted before). I'm surely going for that trophy :P
Elwyn
@Amber
Thanks Amber!
[NPC] Allard M Chetwood STAFF
I hope I star in some of the stories that get submitted. I have zero problems with people imagining what my life has been like.
egg
@Amber thank u I needed this ilu
Straywillow
Where do we turn it in?
Amber STAFF
@Elwyn It just needs to have at least one pet or NPC, so you can have a buddy adventure or include an army, whatever works!
raul
Kudos to a contest that will spotlight the hand drawing!
Honestly I thought at first "whoa not gonna stand a chance at digital art" but then I realized it's just for physical art.
HYPED oversweats
Petal
Cool! :D
Synth
Yay for a traditional art category! I just hope i'm not too lazy to enter something lol.
Elwyn
For the story does it need to center around just one of your pets?
Marlboro
Reading Veta Camp heart attack "omg plot" in mind, then I'm reading the whole thing.. "omg I can't do anything"
going to eat pizza and cry at the corner
TaleSpin
While the avatar contest is tempting...traditional art is totally my thing! I can't pass up this opportunity. :D It's adventure time!!
StarShadow
OK, done and entered. :)
Amber STAFF
@KiaArra No, you can only enter one.
Lexx
All the categories are tempting! I will just see what I can manage to do in the time limit. :3
Chrissy
thank you @Amber
KiaArra
Can we enter more than one? Traditional art is my jam, but I've also recently gotten into sculpture!
Amber STAFF
@Chrissy It can be a mix! We just wanted a clear distinction between human avatars that have no custom wearables on it and ones that do use custom wearables.
Chrissy
for the ha custom does every bit have to be custom or can it be a mix of both ?
Kota
...Guess I should start dusting off all the old art supplies. x3
Metaphor
If I get hit with any inspiration, I might try writing something. It's a rare thing these days, though, ha.
Greg
Ooooh this is super interesting!
I wonder what to pick. I'm really bad at all the categories, but I really want to try something.
feral
Hurm... going to need to see if it's even possible to submit a traditional piece... if not, I'll make a HA! :O
Buttercream
Hm...nice range of contests to enter! I like that! I think I shall try the writing one!
Pirate
Cute idea!

But as I the president of the "no talent club" I will only watch from the sidelines.

Best of luck and have fun, everyone - I am looking forward to see what you all come up with.
Amber STAFF
@ashleighsaur You just need to be wearing the outfit to submit. :) You can change after
ashleigh
Do we need to be wearing the HA we're going to submit, or is it an image submitter type thing? And then are we able to change after, or do we need to be wearing the outfit for the duration of the event? c:
Amber STAFF
@Ninja Yes! It would fall under the Sculpture. :)
Ninja
Does sewing count? D8
Draken
ah I see..too bad that arvee site isnt around anymore..I stink at trying to flesh out things like that.
Yuzu
How cool! I think I'll put my writing skills to the test and write a short story featuring some of my pets!
Amber STAFF
@Kora Top three of each category (6 total for human avatars), yes!
Amber STAFF
@Draken You need to be wearing the items when you submit the avatar. You can always borrow items from friends, submit, and send back. :)
Flygon
top 3 people will get 500 csc :/
Helly
awwww what a very cute idea!! definitely going to enter this ^^
thank you as always for coming up with fun things for us!
Draken
question about the HA...do you have to 'own' the item you use or can it be anything in the wardrobe and through the share option?
YaoiRules
I might actually enter the art contest this time, I love traditional!
Crab
this is super cute! i'll definitely be submitting a HA ^___^ and thankyou for being really clear about the prizes upfront!
Reykur
Yay for traditional art! I may actually enter this. :)
Skylar
I want a s’more now. :o

I like the stipulation for the drawing portion... it makes things more interesting.
tendril
ooooo, intterresttinnggg
Vanitas
Interesting! Looking forward to seeing all of the submissions. Good luck everyone! :)
(With crippling indecisiveness in choosing a category, Vanitas misses the deadline entirely)
Strength
Oooh, now I just have to decide which one I want to do.
KarenP
super excited for this!
PiplupMagby34
I might enter HA or writing category....
Annika
Oh wow, that's cool! I'll definitely enter a story, that's going to be fun. (:
Permanent
Let's get it on
demon
PITCHED A TENT WOWei
Ramby
How cool
dune
Ahhhh the limit of one entry in any art form hurts my soul. I'm so excited for this!!
Kevin
can't wait to draw something for this!
