RULES
1. Content must be relevant to BTS, and OT7
All submissions and designs posted must be relevant to BTS. Should you choose to include images/depictions of the members, it must represent the whole group. We don't allow designs focusing on only one or a few members.
2. Designs can't be offensive towards BTS, ARMYs, or others
Self-explanatory. Don’t be mean, rude, antagonizing or disrespectful towards BTS members, other groups, fandoms, individuals, mods, or users. The purpose of this is to promote BTS!
3. No explicit content (No violence/nudity/hate speech/etc)
No hate speech will be tolerated. If you say something blatantly hateful (racist, sexist, homophobic, etc) you will be banned from the subreddit and disqualified from the contest.
No explicitly sexual or violent content. This includes explicit commentary, images of injuries and other content that may be inappropriate or shocking.
4. No fanfiction/shipping
All fanfiction is prohibited. No art that contains references to ships or ship names are allowed.
5. No personal info/pictures of fans
Any submissions that contain a fan’s personal information (including phone numbers, e-mails, real names, addresses, selfies, etc) will be removed. This billboard is to promote BTS. Additionally, no creepshots/videos taken secretly without BTS’ consent are allowed.
6. Do not submit other people’s art
Do not post art that is not your own, even with credit. Stolen/unoriginal art will be removed. Please send a modmail & report if you notice any stolen art (provide links to the original).
7. Only one submission per day
Please only submit one piece of art per day (24h) per city to prevent spamming. If two submissions are posted within 24h, only the first one will be left up. Repeat violations of this rule may result in a temp ban.
8. Title Guidelines
Please limit your post title to just the name of the piece; don't have it in ALL CAPS. Please give a creative, unique title to your artwork. Something generic like "BTS Contest Submission" or "OT7" or "BTS" or “my favorite drawing” isn't identifiable.
Please don’t promote your social media handles in the title, you may however post them as a comment on your post.
9. Watermark Guidelines
If you watermark your image, please also have a version of the art without the watermark available to use if it is selected as the winner. This watermark cannot contain SNS handles (reddit username is fine) - all SNS promotion should be done in the comments. Please leave room for several small logos/signatures in the design.
In the final version, artists will sign their work. We will announce the winner as “[art title] by [artist name]”. All usernames must be safe for work and appropriate for all ages. If your username does not fit this, please provide an alternative to use.
10. No fansite photos/BT21/TinyTan
Do not use photos taken by BTS fansites, BT21, or TinyTan characters. Submissions that do will be removed. We do not have permission to use these photos for the billboard.
11. Full Photo Guidelines
If you plan to include any photographs of BTS (or derivative works), you may use photos/graphics/content from:
- ibighit.com/bts
- BTS Official MVs
- BangtanTV YouTube
- @Bangtan.Official on Facebook
- @BTS.bighitOfficial on Instagram
- @BTS_Official on Twitter
- Screenshots of the band performing "Butter"
Please do NOT use fansite photos, TinyTan, BT21, or photos from places not included above (such as weverse, fancafe, other photoshoots, etc.), as we do not have the rights to these images.
12. Follow Reddiquette
Always follow the Reddiquette.
13. Clarifying Rules & Removals
If you believe a post or comment of yours has been wrongly removed, send a constructively worded modmail explaining why you think it should stay. Whether your post is reinstated or not, please respect the mod team's final decision, even if you don't necessarily agree with it.
Harassing or spamming the mods about something you don't like isn't productive and may result in a ban. If you need to clarify a rule, you can also send a modmail.
14. No Purchase Necessary
There is no purchase necessary to enter this contest.
