The rules don't forbid nudity, and the submission process does allow you to select an appropriate content rating.
However, something to keep in mind is the judges. Nudity might hurt your chances of winning, because it's impossible to know how a particular judge may feel about it.
Thanks for your interest in the contest!

Sat, Jan 10Isn't that wrong? allowing nudity, but then saying that the Judges are not impartial and are bringing their views and biases to the table, instead of judging the artwork on it's merits and adhering to the rules, Saying it's ok and allowed then saying but we don't like it seems a bit off.

Sun, Jan 11We know very well that there are no guidelines, having participated in many contests it is obvious, personal pleasure and sympathy, that's how you vote, quality... difficulty... concept etc. do not count, the answer they gave me highlights it, in the last contests we have seen the obvious hand of artificial intelligence to the detriment of those who spend hours working seriously and developing a concept and creating and illuminating the scene... nothing new... I will post the work, if the judge doesn't like it no problem, surely there will be others who will appreciate it

"saying that the Judges are not impartial and are bringing their views and biases to the table"
I did not say that at all.
"saying but we don't like it"
I did not say that either.
What I said was "it's impossible to know how a particular judge may feel about it". The judges are human, after all - not machines.

15 Hours agoSorry for the way i put it, let me put it this way, surely if a contest allows nudity, should the judges be able to say "well i don't like that so thats out" when it clearly states nudity is allowed? Shouldn't judges be picked on the knowledge that they do not have negative feelings towards the stated content of the competition? as that would go against what it is about.
I find it quite strange that you did say "However, something to keep in mind is the judges. Nudity might hurt your chances of winning, because it's impossible to know how a particular judge may feel about it." Shouldn't this have been on the header for the competition?
I like others who read this are (and rightfully so) thinking, well there must be a reason for this comment, perhaps i shouldn't have wasted my time entering my image?
Sorry for way i put my previous comment, but is still think it's a bit off and contradictory.
Thank you for replying.
