Portugal has the pleasure to present its new competition, the Lusitanian Games, which we developed with the help of the delegacies from Forest, 100000 islands and Europe, with judges from every one of these.
You will be able to compete in writing, photography and flag design. If you think you have the best submission possible and an incredible creative mind, than read the rules and submit your best work!
Welcome to the First Edition of the Lusitanian Games (or Lusitaníadas in our oh so tongue-twisting Portuguese). In a never-seen-before attempt, Portugal, Europe, Forest and 10000 Islands came together to offer a fun and engaging time for all the NationStates multiverse: a cultural competition! Consisting of three seperate competitions - Writing, Photography and Flag Design - we hope these games may bring forth some peaceful banter and aid in the strengthening of bonds during such turbulent times. Without further ado, let the games begin!
How can I participate?
Regardless of your region, status in the WA, heck as long as you have a pulse you may join any of the three competitions we have in store for you! But first, please read the rules below (click the images) and, when your project is finished, send it in the appropriate medium via telegram to each competition's judges.
The nations who wish to join must write a story regarding either an event or a simple story set within their NS countries. This part of the competition will be divided in two seperate sections: one for English-written stories.
Regarding the texts themselves, these must be written out in a dispatch in the respective language of the competition the writer wishes to join (they can submit up to 1 in each). All text formats are allowed (poetry, prose...) and there is no word limit. Plagiarism and hate speech will not be tolerated in a submission (though hateful topics may be explored in the narrative).
In the English competition a jury composed of players from different regions will give out four different thematic awards to the best texts: best scenery, best story progression, best character development and best plot;
As for the Portuguese one, a poll will be conducted in Portugal for its citizens to choose the best text out of the bunch.
Once finished, submissions must be sent via telegram in a dispatch to:
You will be able to compete in 4 different categories, submitting up to 2 photos taken by you in each one:
Black and White photos
Photos of national monuments and landmarks
Animal photos
Free category
Filters will be permited for the photos, but their impact on the quality of the pictures will be taken in account. Plagiarism won't be tolerated.
The 3 best pictures from each category will be chosen by a multirregional juri, to whom you must send your pictures with links (you might wanna use imgur) or in other available mediums that facilitate the jury's work.
The participants will be encouraged to submit one original design - and with absolute thematic freedom - with the following limitations:
You can only use up to 4 colours and in this set of 4 you can only use one of the following {green, red, blue}. Coat of arms and others like it must abide by the same rules.
The submission of the flag design must be done in the same way as the photography one, sending the design to all the members of the jury, which will select the 3 best designs.
PS: Please select the images our very hard working Minister Alentejo and Algarve drew so the rules will be shown. I thought it would be obvious but maybe it's just obvious to me because I already knew. If after reading them you still have any doubt about the competition then please telegram me!
Quick follow-up: you can compete in all 3 events unless you are one of the judges of that event, obviously, and in the writing competition you can participate in the english-writing, that will be judged, but you can at the same time compete in the simultaneous portuguese writing, which will have a winner determined via poll in Portugal.
