Hey hey hey fellow Pearlshippers! Sorry for the delay. I hope everyone's been doing fine. The theme for this month is the Pokegirls. International Women's Day was last week, so I thought it would be nice to show our appreciation to the female characters of Pokémon through amazing banners. Your banner is not limited to the main 5 who have traveled with Ash. Banners of any other female characters from the anime or games are allowed as well.
**If you prefer creating banners for ships, I suggest creating a banner of a ship from the male's POV to show his appreciation to his significant other.
I'm excited to see all of the lovely banners. Enjoy!
~Sakura

I want some feedback from everyone. Is the lack of participation due to the themes being difficult to work with or simply because everyone is busy with life (which is completely understandable)? I know that some months have more participants than others, but the general number of people who participate is around 2 and it's not much of a competition then.
Should I continue hosting the banner competitions the way they are? Should I continue the banner competitions but get rid of monthly themes, so everyone can choose their style?

I'm sure it's just life that has everyone tangled up. Maybe you can alternate having themes then having free theme. Sometimes i would make banners, it is just I don't have sufficient time

No one participated for this? Wow I'm shocked! There's always been at least one person...
Personally, I don't know how to make a good banner or how to make the cool special effects. Even if I wanted to attempt now, I'm not going to have time. This month alone it's going to be super busy for me. I can't even finish my fanfic which I haven't touch since Monday. I think this month and the one after are usually the ones that occupy people the most when it comes to students.

I actually really wanted to enter this month but 3 reasons prevented me.
1. The theme was announced pretty late, on the the 15th, and I'm not some kind of art prodigy who can just make a decent banner at a snap of a finger
2. I got sick during the tail end of the month
3. I got busy with Tumblr stuff
Regarding the question about themes every month, I think it's fine. Themes will let people think outside their usual style.

Usually I try and participate if no one else does or if very few people do, but it's just lack of free time I suppose.
And general activity on the site has been low for the past month anyway.

Themes will let people think outside their usual style. But what about the people who don't have a style? : D

It's been too long since I've made a banner so I'd have to reinvent myself

Thanks for the feedback everyone! It seems like lack of time is the main reason for few participants, but I understand since I also have exams starting soon. I'll continue on with the competitions the way they are.
