No. You are only allowed to join one group, and cannot help any other group with any parts of their entries.

Nope. We will not be giving any extensions this year.

While we can empathize with technology being unpredictable, you are responsible for your time management and preparation. Always plan for things to run amok and give yourselves ample buffer time.

Yes, of course!

Yes! As long as your group still has a swap pass available, you may swap in a member from a previously-participating group into yours. Please keep in mind that consent for this must occur between the two groups before the swap.

Yes! This has been outlined in our song guidelines. As long as you provide us with a link to an English translation for songs that are not English, then it is fine to sing in any language.

No. This is an optional scoring that teams can choose to participate in. On the entry submission form, you will be asked if you would like to be judged on creativity or not. You can also opt out of the creativity scoring at any point (for example, if you said yes in stage one, you can say no in stage two).

We have tried our best to optimize the layout of our website for mobile, however the website will always work best from a desktop computer. If you feel as though you are experiencing anything unusual, or if information is unavailable on the mobile version of our website, you are more than welcome to send us a message at anytime to let us know. We can only investigate the issues and troubleshoot once we are aware of them.

Discord, Twitter, or Email.

Keep in mind that your chosen method of contact has to be open to public DM and used regularly; We will not be held responsible if we cannot contact you, or if you see our messages too late.

No. You've dropped out. You are therefore no longer eligible to be judged or recieve critique, and sponsors will not complete a scoring sheet for your group; HOWEVER

We do encourage you to finish your entry, even if you decide to drop out. We will still take the time to watch it, as hard work never goes unnoticed with us. :)

No; the sprite bases are not your own. This could fall under plagiarism and art sponsors reserve the right to dock points in their department.

Ascension welcomes contestants to send us a message to ask.

Tracing is an extremely serious offense, big or small. If you are unsure if what was created is considered traced or not, or too scared or shy to voice it to your group, please send us a message with the art and what was used as referencethe end of the stage you are competing in. We will review what you sent, and get back to you as soon as possible.

We would rather you be honest with us and try to fix any issues before submitting your entry so that you can avoid being disqualified for a rectifiable mistake.
