PureZC 2023 Expo
Hello everyone! It's been a long time since we've had an Expo, but with increasing activity and with the desire to feature upcoming and finish ZC content, it's about time we host a new one! As such, submissions for the 2023 Expo are now officially open!
For those of you who don't know, the Expo is quite simply a showcase of the latest ZC projects from our members. The whole point is to allow members to show off their hard work and future content and to receive constructive feedback all in one place. It serves as a boost to individual project attention and to community engagement overall, so please don't be shy when deciding to submit! Everyone is welcome to participate!
If you are interested in submitting an Expo entry, all you have to do is make a topic within this forum. There's no requirement as to the format of your topic, as part of the point is to come up with a good and creative layout to show off your content to the fullest. Once you post your topic, it will automatically be hidden from view. Therefore, before you submit, please read and review the rest of the information in this topic, shown below, to make sure your submission abides by the guidelines. Additionally, please preview and proofread your post to make sure everything looks good on your end before you click "Post".
Allowed Expo Submission Content
- Quest projects and work-in-progress tilesets, tiles, scripts, music, etc.
- Quests and tilesets completed since January 1st, 2022
We are pretty flexible in terms of what can be submitted to the Expo, so don't let the list above completely restrict you! We will let you know if your submission is not allowed, but if you aren't sure, you can always ask me directly or simply post a reply in this thread.
Submission Guidelines
- Multiple Expo submissions are allowed.
- PureZC will host up to 15 images for each submission. Simply link your images within your post using an external image hosting site such as imgur, and we will move them to PureZC's hosting for you. You are allowed to have more than 15 images, but those beyond the first 15 will have to be hosted on another site.
- PureZC will host only 1 quest demo per submission. You can link your demo using something like Dropbox, and it will be moved for you. If your quest or quest demo includes songs in an audio file format such as .MP3 or .OGG, then it must be separated from the quest and linked separately as we do not want to host that (both due to copyright issues and limited PureZC server space). However, feel free to keep MIDIs and tracker files (.IT, .XM, .MOD, .SPC, .GYM, .NSF, .GBS or .VGM) bundled with the quest, and we will happily host that on PureZC.
- If you post your submission and realize you've made a mistake, you may contact me for small edits. If you want to make major changes, simply create another submission and we will replace it for you.
- Hide your signature to make things look more professional!
- Feel free to include a poll for people to easily review your content, though it is not required. Additionally, you can include questions to get people to give you specific feedback. Your submission is your own, so format it the way you want!
Submission Deadline: Saturday, June 4th, at 11:59pm EDT
Expo Opening: Saturday, June 11th
(Note: EDT stands for Eastern Daylight Time. If you are unsure what time that correlates to in your timezone, simply Google "11:59pm EDT" and Google will automatically convert the time to your specific timezone.)
Once the Expo opens on the stated date, all submissions will be viewable in this forum for everyone to see! We hope everyone will participate in viewing what's in store this year as well as providing constructive feedback to help support the developers! Lastly, thank you for reading, and we hope you all have a great time with this year's Expo! We can't wait to see what everyone will submit! If you have any questions or concerns, you may write a post in this topic or contact the staff.
Best of luck, everyone! 
But still looking forward to it
