Second item to be designed. A Hallifaxian chair.
Background on these items? In the Aetherbasin there are 7 Districts. Celest, Hallifax, Serenwilde, Ackleberry, Glomdoring, Gaudiguch, and Magnagora. In the center of all these districts is the Grey Castle. Within the Grey castle lies 7 throne rooms. In the top tier of the Castle is the Meeting room where 7 Chairs will circle a round table. The Grey Castle represents Neutrality, and the Round Table represents equality. Each of these items will be up for contest design and I'll be counting on you guys to help us out in the goal.
However, D'cente never skimps, and always pays its due. We're going to be doing a blind judging design. You will be able to send your designs to 1 person (announced on Estar) who will feed it to 3 judges. These judges will not know whose designs they are, and you are encouraged not to seek them out to tell them about it. If you do, your design may be disqualified.
The prize for the winning design of the chair will be 1 million gold to be paid as soon as it's accepted into our cartel. Your name will be announced here, and you never have to worry about being cheated.
Remember this is an artisan crafted chair that MUST be able to be submitted into a cartel, so make sure it's following Lusternia design guidelines. Ask your fellow tradesmiths on how to go about that if you're new to the scene. We're looking for chairs of epic proportions, something the Leader of your city can sit regally on and discuss business with all the other organizations. (We do not expect this to ever happen, however this is the dream/purpose behind this). Joke chairs will most likely be promptly dismissed, so consider your designs carefully.
Any of the designs submitted must NOT already exist in cartel. We want this to be a private design, never to be used again.

After the contest is over, you'll need to work with us to help edit anything charites need changed and once it's through the money is yours.
Designs will be scored on the following:
Theme (3 points possible) - does your design fit the theme of what we are asking for?
Quality (7 points possible) - spelling and grammar. We can fix some minor mistakes and we do not mind that, but we do not want to spend days fixing error after error.
Originality (10 points possible) - This is a coolness/epicenes/out of the box factor. We want to see what you can come up with that's never been seen before!
Please have your designs submitted to @Tremula, who will be fielding all designs! You can begin submitting designs on Estar 404 and ends at the end of that year. NO DESIGNS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER ESTAR 405!! You will receive a message back that your design has been received within 2 days, if you do not hear back, please message Tremula to assure your entry.
You may enter multiple times into this contest if you have the time or wish to do so, but remember there will only be one winner.
Expect more contests to come. Chairs will be 1m, thrones will be 3m, and the table will be a whopping 5m. Each contest will run 12 days at a time (Estar to Estar). Do not expect them to run back to back. They will be as the money is garnered and as we have time for them. Eventually we may be considering Tapestries (Do those fit with a throne?)
( Hopefully I did this right ^^;; )
