It's quite simple, really. All you have to do is design an item which will be implemented in-game. Although there are some requirements which the item needs to fit:
• The size of the item needs to be 32x32 pixels.
• Your item can be animated, but may not contain more than 16 animated frames.
• The item needs to be on a monochrome background, that has a color that does not exist in the item itself (eg: pink.)
• The item has to be saved as either a BMP or PNG file.
• The item must fit into Tibia's setting.
• The item should not contain any references to a country
• The item can only be a decoration item, and should not change a characters stats/looks in any way.
• The item should have a dark outline (eg: black.)
• It must be an item which can be held in-game (so something you can pick up)
• You are allowed to submit as many works as you want
Please only submit items which you have made from scratch. If we discover that you have copied or just blatantly taken someone elses item (from wherever/whoever it may be) you will be immediately excluded from the competition.
When you submit your sprite, please make a new post in this thread. Your post should look something like this:
So the item goes on the first line. If it is an animated sprite, all the separate sprites go on the next.
You can submit as many items as you want (submit three hundred if you can!) but you can only win... once.
• name of the item
• description (e.g. it was rewarded by TibiaTome)
• weight
• should it do anything when you "use" it? One of the following options is possible:
• it can be written on once (e.g., a dedication text)
• it's rewritable
• it makes sounds and /or has small effects (e.g., "hail player" + other effects)
• should it glow in the dark, and if yes, in which color?
• should it be possible to carry it in one of the body slots?
If you are creating a hangable item, please provide sprites of it on the North and West wall, and a sprite of it on no wall. So what it looks like on the floor.
THE ITEM MUST BE 100% YOUR OWN, E.G. YOU MUST HAVE MADE IT FROM SCRATCH YOURSELF. IF YOU DID USE A MODEL THE OLD ITEM SHOULD NO LONGER BE RECOGNIZABLE.

FAQ
Q: Can you use an already existing sprite?
A: You can, under certain conditions. The most important point is that the sprite you used for your own work should not be recognizable anymore in any way. Just changing the colour or adding/removing one little detail is not enough. If you still post a sprite that is not originally yours, you will be banned.
Q: Can I use a larger sprite than 32x32?
A: No, because the item should be one which you can carry or put on, the limitation is set on 32x32. Larger sprites will not be taken into consideration.
Q: Can I save animated sprites as .PNG or .BMP?
A: No, animated sprites can only be saved at .GIF. If you wish to submit an animated sprite, you should post all the seperate frames in .PNG or .BMP, along with an example animation in .GIF.
Q. Can the item be rotated?
A. No, it can't.
Q. Can the item have different light effects?
A. There would be the normal light effect that the item has, and another one which can only be seen when the item has been used. This light effect will last until the item is used again, so it will go back to its normal light effect.
Q. Can I use some items that I use on another Item Contest? (TibiaVenezuela, TibiaStat...)
A. Yes, you can but only if those items did not get chosen as the winning item. Also, they have to be related to TibiaTome. Although our fansite is called TibiaTome, that does not literally mean it HAS to be related to a tome, create anything you desire (that fits within Tibia) and get creative!
Q. How do we judge the winners?
• All valid entries will be judged by site staff.
• The TibiaTome team will choose the top 3 item creations without qualifying order that we feel represents our fansite best. These 3 item creations will be sent to Cipsoft for further judging.
• The criteria for selection of the items are not fully objective. There will be selected those appropriate and technically within the context only. The team will choose your 3 favorite items, respecting the taste and motivation of each member. After all, the item will represent our website, our opinion should be and will be taken into consideration in choosing. Originality, creativity and quality will be taken into account.
