Master of Disaster TournamentA Major Disaster will occur and those taking part in the Tourney must see to it that their character can survive.... with or without their fellow VOIDlings.
But as with any disaster, you can never predict what will happen or when or to whom....so the actual type of Disaster will not be announced until after the Selection of the Artists taking part. It could be anything; a Tornado or an Earthquake or a Plague or a Crime Wave....no one will know what dire fate is awaiting those chosen until it is too late.
An 8 slot tourney taking place over 2 rounds. Round One will consist of two 4-way Elimination Matches with the winner of each continuing forward into a final 2-way match for Round Two.
Each Artist will be responsible for a comic supporting the Announced Theme and depicted use of all of the characters within his/her selected group. In round Two it is suggested from a narrative standpoint (but not required) to depict any survivors from the winning comic in Round One in the Comic for Round Two.
Details:
* Artist Application ends July 11
APPLICATION IS OVER* Selection and Type of Disaster will be announced together on July 13
* Round One beginning July 13 with a three week deadline (August 3) and one week of Voting. Round Two beginning August 10 with a three week deadline (August 31) and one week of Voting.
* Comic MUST represent Announced Theme and MUST contain the depiction of all Opposing Artist's characters within respective Group each round (i.e. Group One Members must have comics depicting all of the Characters from Group One.)
* 4 page minimum
* Not meeting requirements will result in automatic disqualification from Tourney for the Artist as well as the chance to be shamed by all of their peers. These lowlifes will also quite possibly develop an annoying rash in various embarrassing locations about their person.
This is a theme driven tournament where all comics entered must revolve around the T.B.A. Major Disaster (i.e. Flood, Earthquake, Plague) that involves all of the characters within the assigned group. The Disaster Theme pre-selected by Council will be constant for all artists and for both rounds.
The defeat or death of your 'opponents' characters is not necessary or required in any way. When your life is on the line, Friends can become Foes but your greatest enemy can also become your greatest asset.....you just never know what will happen when your life is on the line. Then again some people will do whatever it takes to survive....even if it means they are the only one that does.
Artists and Subsequent Groups will be selected from Applicants by Council Majority Vote and placed by Automatic Selection Process
The Winner will have the Title of 'Master of Disaster 2009' added to his/her character profile on the Main Site as well as the self satisfaction of knowing that he/she is better than everyone else and is really really going somewhere*
*Satisfaction is not guaranteed by EnterVOID.com and EnterVOID.com is in no way responsible if you are not in actual fact better than anyone else and do not end up going somewhere after winning this tournament

The Disaster Theme is Marooned;An unexpected storm causes a passenger ship to sink off the shores of an uncharted Jungle island.The severity of the storm and the tides surrounding the island claimed the lives of many of those escaping the sinking ship.
So severe was the storm that the few survivors who survived the ocean and rocks have been deposited along with the wreckage all about the edge of the island.
Those that made it to shore have formed two seperate groups both unaware of the other.
The survivors must struggle with no existing communication to the outside world and what few supplies they have found washed ashore.
They have no fresh water, no shelter, little food and little hope of rescue, how will they manage to survive ?
