                Since this contest is listed on the SVS site with more details I thought maybe the Contest Rules should be listed here as well:

                https://www.svslearn.com/news/2017/5/16/mermaid-or-merman-or-merwhatever-contest

                Contest Rules:

                It can be a maid, or a man, or whatever floats your boat really. It just has to be Mer.
                Post your best MerThing in the SVS Forum (if you don't already have a user account for the forum, you will need to create one). Look for the thread titled NEW MONTHLY CONTEST!! MERMAIDS! (MERMEN!)
                One entry per person
                File size no more than 1200 pixels on the longest side
                Only submit if you are OK with us splashing your image across our social media (you will get credit of course!)
                Post by May 31st

                          Hi guys, my name's James. First time posting! I sketched this on paper, thinking that a mermaid should have proportionally larger hands and tail then we're used to seeing. I colored it digitally in about 20 minutes0_1495596620590_Enlight1.jpg

                                @jameswulfe I think it needs to be a jpg or png. It looks like yours is a PDF which is for print usually. Hope that helps! Nice mermaid! I dig it.
