Answer to FAQ about Voretober
7 years ago
Considering how many notes and comments we've recived about these themes, we'd like to adress some frequent questions and misunderstandings:
1) Is the Voretober challenge only about drawings?
No, it isn't. Any kind of art is accepted!
Traditional/digital paintings, literature (stories, poetry...), music, traditional/digital sculpture, sand-art, photomanipulation, 3D posing are just examples of what you can submit!
Please, remember to ALWAYS use the tags #Voretober #Voretober2018 to allow us to support you!
2) Do you accept submissions using other prompt lists?
Yes, but partially. We encourage and support all artists who're challenging themselves throught our social profiles.
If you decide to follow another prompt list, however, we cannot be sure whether you're still following our challenge or something else entirely. Thus we may share/reblog/retweet your posts but not include them into our official gallery.
You can still join while not following all themes by letting us know about it.
3) I am late and I have lost the beginning of the challenge/I don't think I'm able to keep up with the daily pace. Can I still participate?
Sure, you should!
The challenge is not just about pushing out art fast. It's about using your imagination to deal with unusual themes. Artists are not bound to any kind of daily schedule and may participate at the pace they wish to keep.
Potentially, you could join the Voretober on July of the next year or do only some days!
So, don't understimate yourself, try to join and challenge yourself instead!
4) Are the prompts boring?
No. Prompts do not compensate for lack of imagination. They're not meant to tell you exactly what you must do to be original, nor are they meant to have a single unmistakeable, clear interpretation as some people seem to think.
They're meant to allow everyone to express their full choice of artistic freedom while challenging them to find links to unusual topics or concepts. In just four days artists have created dozens of works taking incredibly original spins on the daily prompts. Thus, before saying there's something objectively wrong with the prompts rather than simply admitting you don't like them personally (which is absolutely alright), just do a check-up on your imagination.
