Gladius' Community Pageant!!
Introduction: Celebrating Gladius' two year anniversary we have decided to host a pageant as our event to highlight the site's rich history of nerve-racking moments, memorable memes, inspiring character design, and general appreciation of the community. If you have recently joined Gladius or have been a long-time member we thank you for choosing us to share great memories with or your dedication to the site, respectively. Most of us leading very busy lives, whether you're still in school or a functioning adult, make an effort to log onto our Discord or squeeze out a post shamelessly cutting into your usual bedtime. Whether your posting partner yo-yos back to you within an hour of your reply and starts annoying you for another post or you get flooded out of an ongoing conversation in Discord, always remember that your activity is the lifeblood of the site and its ongoing success. We will always appreciate anybody who chooses to spend their free time with us. Time is an invaluable resource we are all tied to, and is something we can never replenish or stop. So being here with us and building a community many can call home is something we cannot thank enough.
But let's get down to brass tacks and start this pageant!
Participation/Rewards: Participating in this event will result in the reward. This is a fun, community building event meant to not be competitive. So don't feel discouraged because you feel you may lack writing creativity or imagination. The winner(s) will not receive any bonus rewards and those who lose will not be out of a reward. Participation in the event will qualify you for this anniversary's prize!
To participate in the event you must vote in each category. A template will be provided to submit your vote. Keep in mind that if you wish to receive a bigger prize you must fill out the voter template completely. For the MAXIMUM reward you must vote and submit yourself as a candidate.
BONUS REWARDS:
1. In addition to the rewards listed above, if you do 2 submissions for each category and vote in each category then you will receive 300 Experience.
2. For each category you win in you will receive 25 Experience.

The Subject
Below will be all of the subjects for this year's pageant. In this topic you will make all submissions using the template. You are only allowed to make TWO submissions per subject, so choose wisely. After a week all submissions will be entered in and the voting can begin. Another week will ensure everybody has a fair chance of reading the submissions and taking them into consideration. Once the votes are tallied up, a first, second, and third place is decided by the number of votes gathered.
You CAN vote for yourself. You may only vote once per subject.

YOU CAN'T COME UP WITH TWENTY REASONS TO BE A SHINOBI?! IF YOU WANT TO BE A FORCE THAT CANNOT BE STOPPED, YOU NEED TO TRAIN UNTIL YOU'RE BODY IS READY TO SNAP.
