Heya all, as I said in the latest chapter, I'm working on something pretty special. And as a thank you for y'all's amazing support and Arc's success as a fiction, I'm excited to announce a contest for Meme Advertisements, or meme ads for short. As some of y'all have observed, there are quite a lot of user advertisements in the site, and I thought it'd be fun to host a contest for whoever makes the best meme one!
The prize pool will be $100, and the top 3 winning ads will be ran to promote the fiction!
The prizes are as follows:
> First-place winner - $50
>
> Second-place winner - $30
>
> Third-place winner - $20
Multiple submissions are allowed! However, you can only win once!
Winners will be chosen by myself and two other judges, based on factors such as; how loyal it is to the fiction, how funny it is, as well as how much potential it has as an ad. The submissions will be made via my Discord!
The rules are relatively simple:
1 - No NSFW or explicit ads
This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
2 - Must be relevant to the story and a meme
3 - The ad must be 300 x 250, or any resolution that fits a 6:5 aspect ratio (or is close to it).
Be aware that failure to comply with these rules will automatically invalidate the entry, though that doesn't mean there is a high barrier for entry, you can even draw some stick figures so long as they are funny, because it is ultimately a meme advertisement contest!
Submissions will be closed on the 3rd of September, so there's plenty of time to enter! A decision will be made by the 8th of September, and payment to the winners will be made by the 10th unless some complication arises. Payment will be made via PayPal and through an intermediary to avoid exposing sensitive information.
As for those that are a bit lost on what a meme ad is, here are some examples of meme ads that Arc has!

Once more, submissions will be made via my Discord and can only be made through it in the specific channel called 'Arc-meme-contest-submission', do not DM me submissions. Here is a discord link:
