Nov'13 theme week ~Native American Art

Hi everyone! Please join us in our theme week (TW) contest! The Noct 2013 TW topic is "Native American Art".

Create an ACEO inspired by this month's topic and list it on eBay on November 1st with ACEO TW OCT in your title. The listing can last up to 7 days.

Group members are invited to nominate their favorite ACEO's among the entries, and winners will be selected by polls (see below for more details).

 

 

To spread the word about TW, please include the following statement (or equivalent) in your listing description:
This is an entry in the Theme Week contest from the ACEO ~ Art Cards Editions and Originals group here on eBay. The contest takes place the first week of each month. To view other listings, click here: http://search.ebay.com/ACEO-TW

 


Contest rules:

ACEO theme week (TW) is a fun group competition where group members can win a jpeg “award” certificate to use in future auctions or web sites! Starting in July 2010, only "People’s Choice” and “Most Unique Interpretation” prizes and “Honorable mentions” will be awarded. As these awards are based on votes in a group poll, the art should speak for itself and there will no longer be any restriction on the starting price, shipping cost or listing upgrades. We hope this will encourage more members to participate!

The TOPIC is different every month. Upcoming topic for December: All that glitters.


How to enter:

* Create an ORIGINAL ACEO (2.5” x 3.5” art card, any medium)
inspired by this month’s TOPIC. “Original” means not a print, unless the ACEO is an original photo or digital artwork, or artwork created using an etching technique such as lithography.

* List an eBay auction on the 1st of the month with a photo or scan of your completed ACEO. Put “ACEO TW _______” in the title (fill in ______ with the current month’s 3-letter abbreviation, i.e. Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec). This allows us to find your entries on eBay.

* Listing of your ACEO MUST BEGIN on the 1st of the month (by the eBay US official time - between 12:00:01 AM and 11:59:59 PM Pacific time, or GMT-7), unless otherwise specified.

~ You can view the official eBay time at: http://viv.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?EbayTime

* Auction duration must be 7 days or less. If you relist a TW ACEO later on, please remove "TW" from your title so there is no confusion about what ACEO's are for the current theme week.

* Please paste the following statement (or equivalent) in your listing description to promote theme week ACEO's.

This is an entry in the Theme Week contest from the ACEO ~ Art Cards Editions and Originals group here on eBay. The contest takes place the first week of each month. To view other listings, click here: http://search.ebay.com/ACEO-TW

Also consider mentioning the contest and posting images of your entries in your blogs/social networking sites, like for instance our siter Facebook group (http://www.facebook.com/groups/153963054750715). If we all do this, we will all benefit from increased exposure of our artwork to potential buyers.

* Each auction can only be for a single ACEO, but you may list as many auctions as you want.

* Starting price and shipping costs are up to you.

* Listing upgrades such as bold, highlight, subtitles, featured, charity listing etc are allowed.

* You are strongly encouraged to post a link to your listing and/or an image of your ACEO by commenting below to help other members find your entry.

How prizes are awarded: This is a 3-step process:

1. Nominations for "People’s Choice" and "Most Unique Interpretation" awards will be accepted by any and all members of the ACEO ~ Art Cards Editions and Originals group between the 2nd and the 10th of the month, or as specified each month.

 

* We ask that you nominate the ACEO’s based on the art itself - what is truly inspiring to you - and not on the popularity of the artist or private discussions or alliances among members.

Nominations can either be done by posting your choices for each prize category in this thread or, if you prefer, by sending an email to aceovotes@gmail.com specifying your ebay ID and the name and item number of each nominated piece.
One nomination per category, per member (self-nominations will not be accepted).

2. On or around the 10th of the month, a group poll for each of the categories will be set up
by a member of the ACEO Activities and Events Committee (AAEC) based on the number of nominations each ACEO has garnered. Up to 10 artists will be selected for each of the two award categories. Each artist can only have one ACEO nominated per category. If more than 10 ACEO’s are nominated for a given award, or if two or more are from the same artist, ACEO’s will be selected first based on the number of times they were nominated and second based on which nominations were made the earliest. Nomination decisions will be at the discretion of the AAEC members, which will strive to keep the contest fair for everyone.

3. The polls will close by the 15th of the month (or as specified)
, at which point the winners will be announced. There will be a minimum of four awards: "People’s Choice Award", "Most Unique Interpretation Award" and two "Honorable Mentions" (awarded to the runners-up in each poll).

In case of a tie in the polls, the corresponding prize will be awarded to each tied participant.


Winners will be asked to contact a member of the AAEC to request their jpeg awards.


We hope you will join in for theme week! Also, we love it when you post pictures of your topic-inspired ACEO's in this thread - and chat away!

This Month's theme (NOV 2013) is "Native American Art". Remember to use ACEO TW NOV in your title.

Happy creating!

Thanks for the Kudos.  Also on the NOV TW posting this are a couple of errors ie: line 1 Noct , line 2 ACEO TW OCT.

I know what you mean but maybe some one new might get confused .

just thought I would let you know.

Have a good day.

Thanks Cathie, sorry about the typos and I hope people figure them out!

 

Everyone, when you list your TW ACEO's tomorrow, be careful in your choice of words to describe your ACEO's and review eBay's policies on Native American Art (http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/artifacts.html) - You need to avoid descriptions that may suggest the item was made by a Native American (unless you are of Native American descent). If your listing does not follow policies, it may be removed.

 

Happy Halloween!

I kept getting error messages when trying to list -- they said to list in collectibles/crafts/ethnic/ and so on including listied by non-American Native.  I left it in Art but removed Indian-Native-etc from the subject and within the description and subject heading.  I don't know why others didn't get the error message since I see those words in the subject headings of many of the entries.   Personally, I hope we never do this theme again because it makes a good point.  This is my last time.

I added this to my decription:     The theme is, Native American Art.  Be aware,  I am a non-native and therefore the art is not authentic.  I feel  better about it now - but really,  this is the last time.

Hi everyone,


Lots of amazing entries this month!

 

IT'S TIME TO NOMINATE your favorite November theme week ACEO in two categories ("People's Choice" and "Most Unique Interpretation"). Nominated pieces will be put in a poll for voting.

 

To find ACEO's to nominate, search eBay listings containing the keywords "TW ACEO NOV". Also remember to click the "Completed listings" link to find ACEO's that have already ended.

 

You may post your nominations here or, if you prefer to do your nomination privately, email the AAEC (ACEO Activities and Events Committee) at aceovotes@gmail.com. Please tell us who you are on eBay (your eBay member ID or name), and which ACEO you want to nominate for each category, with the item number or the url of the listing (to help us find it and avoid any confusion). No self-nominations, please.

 

Nominations will be accepted until Nov 10 and polls will be posted afterwards.

 

Thanks all!

Hi everyone! Here are the nominees for our November Theme Week ("Native American Art")... Sorry for the delay this month, I was out of town and came back home with a bad cold.

 

Wonderful work, everyone! There were several artists who received more than one nomination, so if you don't see the exact piece that you nominated, or if it is in a different category, that's why…

 

Please vote once in each poll (People's Choice and Most Unique) to select this month's TW winners. Nominees are numbered IN NO PARTCULAR ORDER and shown in the images below (for a larger image of the ACEO's, please click on the links under each nominated piece). Polls will close on November 23 at midnight and winners will be announced shortly thereafter.

 

You'll find the poll by following the link at the bottom of this post.

 

The nominees are:

 

People’s Choice
