The Rumble Team presents news of a brand new art contest. It has been named the Creative Clinic Competition and nicknamed the CCC. The CCC is planned to be a quarterly mini contest in which artists of all levels are invited to participate to use as a learning tool and skill sharpener. We will be focusing on certain skills, and other art aspects to continue to educate and challenge the artists. We hope this will be a popular contest for artists to practice their skills and to keep the community alive between the upcoming major Rumbles. While sharing similar traits to the Rumble, such as SSCN, themes and a voting system, the CCC is not 1v1 and is grouped by tier. Competitors will have a good part of a month to submit entries, and for our Very first CCC competition we are offer a 5k bonus to all completed entries as well as prizes to the winners. We hope you guys are excited! Keep your eye out for more information as well as sign ups October 30-31st! Are you all ready to Mini Rumble?

Our team members may drop some "easter eggs" along the way... so here is your first one:

Frame Within A Frame __Definition: This technique is employed to achieve various artistic and narrative goals, by framing the main subject with other elements like windows, doorways, or even other objects that focus the viewer's attention more directly on the central point of interest.

Hint #2: The time of year, when the days are short and nights are long, the world is often covered in festive songs. What am I? (send answer to 266600 for a little trinket).

You get two more clues about our Creative Clinic Competition by answering both of these riddles today (trinket prize given.. please pm 266600 with the answers and don't answer in forum)

Hint riddle #1

I'm framed but not for a crime; I open to the world but have no door. What am I?

HInt riddle #2

I can be made of glass but I’m not a vase

I am filled with water but I’m the ocean
I contain lots of flakes but I’m not a cereal bowl
I can be shaken but I don’t contain salt or pepper
I will settle but I am not a mediatior

What am I?

Exciting!

Oh this is so exciting!!! I can't wait!
