Yo~! SOS (Start of School) Update : Registration Rules Supplement + UNIFORM DESIGN MECHANICS

Registration Update



For the sake of making it more explicit, we decided to supplement the already written rules on registration for the contests. Hopefully it will encourage more to join and will clear up some questions lurking on your minds!

1. You are allowed to send multiple entries to the following contests.

a. Logo Design

b. Mascot Design

c. Uniform Design

2. Multiple entries also entail more registration fees however. As specified on the rules, succeeding entries will only cost the contestant 50% of the original registration fee.

Example:

Contestant A would like to send three entries under the Logo Design category. A will have to pay 90 for the first entry and 45 each for the succeeding entry.

3. The registration fee for the visual arts category contests are 90 each. Meaning if you want to join all three, you will have to pay 90 per category. Not that you pay 90 once and you’re in all three categories already.

4. You are allowed to collaborate/enter as a group entity in the following contests. But it doesn’t mean you will each receive the prize pot already announced. Rather, you will have to divide amongst yourselves.

a. All Visual Arts Contests

b. Singing Contest

c. Quiz Bowl (it’ll be made a requirement actually)


If you guys have anymore questions and stuff you’d like to clear up, please dont’t hesitate to ask! <3


Uniform

This started as a what if idea amongst the sempai of the club actually. As the club grows, so did the plans to be enacted to make it fun and cooler as time passes by. Somehow, we felt that at some point, we’d have to have something to wear at official events (other than a club t-shirt... Don’t worry, we’ll have that contest at some other time. ) and gatherings to represent the club. Or if we just don’t have any costume to wear at events and conventions period. He he he... Instead of brainstorming amongst ourselves, we thought it would be swell to allow you guys to contribute too!


Post event- the winning entry will be considered to be made in a tangible, wearing form. Oh yay! But of course, that’s a totally different story altogether now. :P


PS: UNIFORM AND MASCOT ARE NOT THE SAME O A O. Though we could make our mascot wear the uniform... BUT THAT’S NOT THE POINT. D: Actual members, as in you and me, will be wearing this.

Why are we having an event?

Sorry to interrupt the normal line up but for today there will be no list of mechanics posted. ^^;;

We were supposed to post the mechanics and rules of the Quiz Bowl but we decided that this was more important to say to you all. The mechanics + rules will be posted tomorrow. No worries.

Do you guys even know why we’re having an event?

Before any of you guys end up going ‘Oh this is just a post asking for sympathy points’ hold up!

You gotta read till the very end and read us out! (Lewlsorz)

To answer that question... It goes like this:

It’s been a year hasn’t it? No. Rather. More than a year.

We’ve had three cosmeets already. Sure that’s a lot. But we felt that we haven’t really contributed to the bigger community just yet. Our cosmeets are hardly events that can be opened out to the public since it’s mostly a club event that focuses more on being able to bring together our members. I’m quite glad that this is actually showing some progress. I think. What do you guys have to say?

At any rate, we thought of the event as a two-fold event.

First, we’d like to include just about everyone else who’d like to join. Unlike the cosmeets where even if we don’t put a cap on how many people who aren’t members can join may join, there is still the exclusiveness –to an extent, please, we’re not elitists!- to the activities. This time, this event is open to everyone and anyone. Member or not, feel free to go. There’s no limit as to how many people can come and go. (As long as pay the entrance fee of course xD) Also, it’s a whole day affair with tons of activities and things for you to look forward too. Yes, it’ll have a programme and lists of main events to enjoy but we’ve made it that you’ll have some side events and shows to be able to enjoy if the main events do not suit your appetite. Unlike the cosmeet where you’re only stuck with whatever programme the hosts come up under a time limit of a half day affair.

Heck, we even made the event kid-friendly! So it’s perfectly fine to bring your siblings and what not if you want them to enjoy as well.

Second, call us ambitious but we’ve felt that the club hasn’t really given its all for the community just yet. We’ve had a good start with the cosmeets and the seemingly always WIP forum and website (>_>) but we can’t just stick to that and say we’re done with that. Nope. There’s still more to come.

For those who went to the prequel, we announced that next year, we will have more activities and contests to look forward to. Yes you read that right! We’ll be having contests for next year. They’ll be themed type contests and hopefully, you guys will be participating in these? ^^; -crosses fingers- We listed it down in the tentative schedule but we could also have some cosplay workshops. Not quite sure on that one yet though. Hopefully it’ll push through.

We’ll still have our cosmeets and even an event, don’t worry. XD

So yes. We’ll be needing funds for those. And you can’t really expect either me or Wee to always shell out cash all the time do you? We’re not exactly piggy banks or charitable institutions. We also need money to spend on other things!

No, we’re not having an event to refund our spending from the previous three cosmeets. Geez. We’re not that low.

Rather, we’re having an event to be able to raise funds (and hopefully enough) for the events we have in mind next year.

Funds for the cosmeets. We’ve noticed that hosts tend to either spend so much out of their own pocket or we end up spending for the cosmeets. To be quite honest, from the last 2, it was either or. Not both. As in either the host spent or a founder spent. Go figure. Either way, a thank you isn’t enough to repay that. We won’t be able to refund but we’ll rectify this by trying to fund the cosmeet to an extent given the funds we’ll be able to raise. We’ll have to do an accounting first for this.

Funds for the contests. Definitely need to raise some money for this. You can’t have contests if you don’t give prizes can you?

And maybe for the next event? We’ll see. XD

This won’t be our only fund raising activity however. We’ll be doing other fund raising activities as well. Plans are indeed brewing and all. When time comes, it’ll be unveiled to the public. Hopefully we’ll have your support on this.

(To those who would like to question and perhaps even attack our procedure, you are free to ask for a report post event as to where the funds are going and coming from. This is to show that were quite sincere with what we’re doing and that we aren’t trying to make a business out of this. Geez. If we seriously wanted money, we could’ve just opened a business instead of making an event. O_o

see you there guys!!!
