The Contest

They say a picture is worth 1,000 words. Let's put that to the test this Imagecon! Users are tasked with submitting two (2) images which are compliant with our site's media license (details here) which will then be randomly assigned to another user. They, in turn, will be assigned three random images, two from the pool, and one from the contest runners! You will then be required to use two out of three images to make one of the following articles:

SCP
Tale
GoI Format

Winners will be determined by vote count. There will be a First, Second, and Third Place.

Rules

You must create one article using at least two of the images you are assigned. You may use all three if you are so bold, but there is no bonus for doing so.
Collaborations are NOT allowed.
You may submit images you own as well as images found on sites like Wikimedia commons, etc.
You may doctor/edit images you are assigned so long as they remain similar to the original.
You may not use drafts that existed before the contest. All entries must have been created after the contest page went up¹.
You may not delete or edit an article once posted, regardless of performance. All entries that dip to the deletion mark will be subject to normal deletion practices. If an article is deleted, you can not resubmit it or submit a new one. This should encourage everyone to work hard with their partners to have a superior product. What's posted is posted.
- Small corrections — SPaG edits, image localizing, etc — are fine.
- Significant edits — rewriting a paragraph of text, adding new images, etc — are not.
- In a nutshell, if you wouldn't do it to someone else's article before asking, don't do it.
Any contestant who takes unusual and/or negative actions to increase their vote total, or decrease that of their competitors, will be disqualified for the involved contest and potentially banned from further contests (and possibly further disciplinary action).
- Examples of shenanigans include, but are in no way limited to:
  - Downvoting all of your competitors' work within minutes of them being posted
  - Spamming people with PMs about your work
  - Spurring Malicious Upvoting/Downvoting, whether on your work or anyone else's
- If you're not sure if something counts as shenanigans, then it probably does, but feel free to ask a Community Outreach Member.
Nico's Stupid Rule: If you want to trade images with someone, you may do so. However, if you trade images with another person, both parties must use the images they acquired in the trade. For example, if I trade AbsentmindedNihilist my second image and she trades me her first, she will have to use the image I gave her and I am obligated to use the one I got from her.
- Please inform the contest organizers by PM and make a post in this page's discussion thread if you take advantage of Nico's Stupid Rule.
