September's Theme!

*SPECIAL NIBBLEFEST ANNOUNCEMENT*

This September marks the 10th anniversary of the Nibblefest Art Contest! In recognition of this momentous occasion, the theme for September will be “Birthdays and Anniversaries,” which is already on the official list (followed by the next few month's theme's determined by our ongoing polls on our Facebook Page)

For those of you not familiar with the history of Nibblefest, it was started in the fall of 2003 on eBay's Art & Antiques discussion board (as it was known then) by Lynn Lawson. Nibblefest was intended to be a one-time event and our theme was “Cats and Martinis” because those were the two most common subjects in eBay art auctions (by self represented artists) at that time. The term “Nibblefest” refers to multiple bidders gradually increasing the price on an auction, one increment (nibble) at a time. Everyone had so much fun with the contest that we decided to continue, little suspecting that Nibblefest would still be going strong 10 years later!

Looking forward to all the entries this month commemorating Nibblefest's 10th anniversary!

COMPLETE RULES:
-----------------
You must list your auctions for Nibblefest on eBay.com. See below for more details:

Listing times:

Contest starts on the 20th of each month. You can list any time of the day as long as it ends on the 27th.

Run time 7, 5, 3, or 1 day auctions, all auctions must end on the 27th of each month.

Make sure you list in the Art Category on eBay.com!! All the links we share of the NFAC search will only include listings in the art category.

Starting bid: 99¢. No reserve, no extra features other than "Gallery Plus" which is free. This is to keep things equal for everyone. List in one category only.

Medium: Anything you choose

Size: Anything you choose

Support: Anything you choose

Theme changes monthly, please see the list under Upcoming Themes.

Somewhere in your auction please say something like:

"This is my entry in the Nibblefest Art Contest, a themed art contest beginning on the 20th of each month. Please be sure to search for NFAC to see more great entries, each starting at just $0.99. Thanks!"

You may also include the clickable banner to link to the other NFAC auctions. This is completely optional. Follow this link for instructions on how to do that: https://nibblefest.blogspot.com/2020/10/clickable-banner-link.html

The word NFAC must be included in the title for search purposes.

You may enter up to three artworks.

All listings are to comply with eBay regulations and completed in the usual way. If you sell for a low price, you must complete the deal. No shilling (e.g. no using fake ebay accounts, or soliciting people to fraudulently drive up bids)! Also, please do not make bidder ids private - this keeps things transparent and fair.

The winner will be judged on the most individual bidders received during the auction (each bidder is counted once), the prize is an award graphic (see photos). Second and third place winners will also be announced and will receive a graphic. Only one award per person is given with the exception of The Big Chomp Award which goes to the entry that receives the highest dollar amount (regardless if they've won 1st, 2nd, or 3rd).

Entries not in compliance with the rules will be disqualified.

Please note: Participating in Nibblefest gives administrators permission to use your Nibblefest entry images in the award graphics (credit is given at the bottom of the graphic as ebay user ID), on our Nibblefest blog (credit is always given for each image), and in the clickable banner (the clickable banner always contains small images of the entries from the previous month's top 3 winners).
