Art Contest Cancelled! - Here's Why!

Hi jammers! I have a particularly bad news for this post. Know that ''art contest'' I hosted a day ago? Well, I have to cancel it! D:

It was not my plan to cancel it. In fact, I was so excited about the contest that I couldn't even THINK of cancelling it.
But, while reading a post on The Crazcatblog, I found out that Animal Jam now doesn't allow AJ items to be given in exchange for non-masterpiece art. I've been aware of this new rule for quite a long while through Instagram, but I just ignored it thinking it was just a troll or something. Thank you so much Crazcatlover for providing us with this information. Check out her post on her blog to read further into this topic. Click Here.

If I keep this art contest up, I will be breaking Animal Jam's rules. I would have to give the winner in-game items for (probably) art made outside of the art system. So hereby, I'm cancelling this art contest to avoid getting in trouble. I REALLY hope you guys understand.
The main problem is, I have already gotten an entry. I asked Crazcat about what to do on this issue.
To make it all up, I am going to follow Cat's advice and give the people who entered/started working on their entry a free piece of art.
So, if you are that person, kindly tell me what animal you would like to have drawn by me. I will draw it. :)
I hope you guys don't mind this.
Bye!

  2. It was difficult for me to cancel my AJ art commissions, as well. I already had some commissions in my schedule, so I'm just going to do those for free. You did the right thing, Purple :)

    1. Yup. Also, a lot of artists (that have commissions open) aren't aware of this issue. AJ should do something about this. :(
