The Cosy Couch: Ask Your TBT Fair Questions Here!

[Snowesque]

Sorry if this is answered elsewhere! I have Smash Bros. and New Horizons, would it be possible to do two rounds of Smash Bros. then the one round of Tiptoe to the Tunes to earn the extra 5 tickets? On different weeks of course.

Yes, you would be eligible for the full amount of participation tickets if you did this.

So wait, again please because I'm stupid: People who don't own any of the switch games required for that one game will literally never be able to get the max ticket amount because we're only allowed to play that ring around the rosie game once and the other one multiple times?

Quick little question! I've got a art shop thread and I was going to do a special offer thing where I offered art for TBT Fair collectibles. Is that fair or should I take down that offer? I don't wanna seem like I'm cheating or something in asking for additional collectibles or anything!!

 

[Aliya]

For the drawing contests (Crazy Dream Sequence etc.), are we required to submit on the thread itself or can we create a Contest Submission thread? I'm really bad at drawing, but I'm going to try and I'd rather not post my art for everyone to see if that's okay!

Yes, this means they would only be able to receive 5/10 of the possible participation tickets for Switch Stars/Tiptoe to the Tunes. There are many other ways in the TBT Fair to earn tickets so please don't feel down about that!

This would be fine.

Crazy Dream Sequence is only accepting publicly posted art submissions. Magazine Mash-Up takes private submissions with the option to share your entry publicly (and if nominated it would 100% be made public).

For Cosmic Cosmetics, do you submit your entry in the thread or in the private entry forum? I could not for the life of me notice anything about this in the rules.​

You submit your photo and description directly in the thread.

Back with another question. For Dream Sequence can my entry be smaller than 600 x 600? I'm thinking about doing some pixel art but uuuh... no way I can get it to be that big.​

 

[charicharn]

Feeling just a bit overwhelmed LOL This all seems pretty cool Also testing to see if the dream thing shows on my sidebar. There is still ALOT I don't know how to do Like ....how to add the little collectibles under your name.

Edit: IT did so cool, now to come up with a dream. Think I got a good one

If our entry is rejected for low effort, or really for any reason, will we know and get a chance to retry it? I’m not really an artist by any stretch of the imagination but I’m still going to try to enter everything if I can, but I’m worried that my entries could be considered low effort.

I've taken a snippet from the thread that reads:

For this event, keep your creations constrained to medium-sized square: about 600 x 600 pixels, 8 x 8 inches, or 20 x 20 cm.

As long as your entry is roughly the same size, you should be fine. I'd recommend checking with Jeremy in the thread first though to see if the resolution you're going for may be too small.

Each host will likely have a different approach, but you will typically be notified if your entry needs to be updated to meet the requirements. As long as you try your best, follow submission requirements, spend some time/thought on your submission, and have fun doing so, it will surely be recognized!

Just wondering if the prizes are limited to one per person? Or is it possible that if someone gets 1st prize in a contest and get 120 he/she could just take the amiibo, notebook with plushies and carrying case or even just 2 notebooks with all 4 plushies?

 

[loveclove]

Will we always be notified if there's something wrong with an entry?

 

[Snowesque]

What are the prompts you go through to set up a match/join a correct Smash Bros session for Switch Stars?
I am not too familiar with the game so I am a little confused by it.

 

[Matt0106]

For the Magazine-Mashup, are we allowed to use special brushes (clouds, grass, etc.) that come with the app, or do those count as special effects?

 

[Hat']

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere but, are the IRL prizes such as the letters shipping worldwide? I live in France so I was wondering if I could still get them...

Here:

This year, we're excited to announce free shipping to most countries for all of our physical prizes! Free shipping applies to the following countries: US, UK, CA, AU, and EU. If you're interested in a physical prize and in a different country than those listed, please make a thread in our Contact the Staff board to inquire about shipping costs.

Question! For the write a custom dream prompt, are we coming up with an adjective OR noun for our existing theme, or are we making an entirely new theme?

Thanks
