April is here, and you know what that means—everyone's favorite holiday, EASTER is just around the corner! This year, we wanted to try something new. Classic will be hosting a new kind of hat submission contest! You're probably asking, "... but Ark, what makes this hat submission contest different from the others?" Great question! The answer is simple; for this contest, you'll be using a new hat template:

without background

As you can see, participants will be limited to a basic sun hat. You can edit this sun hat as much as you'd like; recolor it; add fancy bows, flowers, bunny ears, etc. Do whatever you'd like to it, provided that the shape of the sun hat remains relatively the same.

When the submission period is over, we'll choose the best looking, most unique hats to be sold in an Easter shop in-game.

Since the winning hats will be sold in an Easter shop, of course, the theme of the hats should be ... drumroll, please...
EASTER!
Bet you weren't expecting that one...

Rules
Of course, the same rules (with a few exceptions) apply here as the other submission contests and uploading rules which are as follows:

1. All Content must be made solely by you, from scratch, meaning no edits of existing content.
2. Any graphics made between two or more people as a collaboration can only gain the rewards on a singular account.
3. NO copyright infringement.
4. Keep things appropriate (i.e. nothing obscene, indecent, or controversial in nature).
5. Do not use pure black (#000000) or pure white (#ffffff). If you use these colors, they will be transparent in-game.
6. You may submit multiple items.
7. If you make recolors, you will receive all the colors you submit but will only receive the Gralats for the one hat. You cannot accumulate more Gralats from multiple colors of one item.
8. All submissions must utilize the provided hat template.
9. All submission must be either a .png or .gif file format. Any other file formats (ex. .jpeg, .jpg, etc.) will not be accepted.
10. Classic Graphics Staff cannot participate in this event.

If you're interested in submitting content for this event, then upload your creations to an image hosting website (such as imgur.com) and email the links to [email protected]. Title the email "Easter Submission" and include your Graal ID (which can be found in the feedback menu in-game).

If you do not include your Graal ID, you cannot receive your reward should your submission be accepted!

Here is the VIP color palette for any base colors that you'd need so they match body colors:

We will know on the 18th  

Can I just add the file to the gmail? Imgur is a pain for me.  

Agreed. Image hosting is annoying - but last time I got zero response asking if I could email the entries I made. You'd think for judging them it would be a lot less hassle to have to download every single one - just view them in attachments online...
