This year's competition categories will be similar to last year's categories. There will still be the three main categories of WWW Sites, FanFiction & Poetry and FanArt. Each of these categories will be divided into subcategories, and the competitions will actually take place within different subcategories.
The difference from last year's competition is that different cubcategories are being defined this time around. Some of these subcategories will be based on characters/teams and are not yet defined - and will not be defined until the day before voting takes place.

2002 submissions Submit your work! Submit FanArt! Vote Here! See the Winners! History of X-Day Competition Details Competition Rules Main Page |
These subcategories were added in 2001 so that the competitors will be more evenly matched. It will also allow the X-Day results to reflect how each submission is viewed when placed against other similar entries - not when placed against entries that enjoy better resources, have existed longer, or which address different issues.
The subcategories are listed below, with a complete description (and sometimes examples) of eligible entries. When you submit your entry, you must CHOOSE THE SUBCATEGORY that you wish to compete in. So read the descriptions and make your choice as to where you want to compete. FanArt Subcategories (There will be seperate subcategories for Hand Drawn and Computer Enhanced Art)

Questions about WWW Subcategories :
|
Prizes : An Attempt will be made to provide Prize Packages for all winners, however, since there are so MANY categories, and so few prize donors, plaques will also be made up and distributed to winners in every category.
Adult Content : All Sites, Fiction and Art must be permitted to compete by the X-Day Manager. Any "adult" content must be mentioned in the submission form - a method for rating the content will be provided. FAILURE TO MENTION ADULT CONTENT IN THE SUBMISSION FORM MAY BE GROUNDS FOR REMOVAL FROM THE COMPETITION! All FanFiction must announce any adult content at the beginning of the story/poem. The X-Day Manager has the final say on what will and will not be permitted to compete. SoftPorn is NOT allowed - kids view this site, so be responsible. All Sites will be checked by the X-Day Manager at some point to ensure that they are entering in the correct category. Plagiarism will result in immediate disqualification from the X-Day competiton, and perhaps banning from future competitions. How do you contact the X-Day Manager? If, after reading this document and the rules document carefully, you still have questions about the contest, or wish to voice concerns or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact the X-Day Manager, Shannon Pipik, at pipik@mtu.edu.
