Please make sure I am understanding this correctly.
Amulet of Health
This amulet is a golden disk on a chain. It usually bears the image of a lion or other powerful animal. The amulet grants the wearer an enhancement bonus to Constitution of +2, +4, or +6.
Moderate transmutation; CL 8th; Craft Wondrous Item, bear’s endurance; Price 4,000 gp (+2), 16,000 gp (+4), 36,000 gp (+6).
Is this the format to use for the contest?

Building requirements
Do the building requirements count against the 200 word limit?

A couple notes about format, since the entry submission page isn't perfectly clear:
Don't include your name in your entry -- the judges' view of these is supposed to be anonymous for each round.
Use the name of your wondrous item for the "subject" -- don't put "RPG Superstar Entry" or "RPG Superstar Wondrous item" as a couple of folks have already done.
That seems like a fair way to describe the format, sure.
And EVERYTHING counts towards the limit.
Does the EVERYTHING count towards the subject line too?
I'd hate to be at 202 words and summarily disqualified because of that ;-)

Yes, Gary, I did just that. *And* I put my name in the subject line (but not the body). Should I resubmit, or what? I don't want to submit a second time and get disqualified, but I don't want to have submitted improperly and get disqualified. What's a prospective RPG Superstar to do?!?
I'm cleaning up the entries posted so far, but after that it'll probably be grounds for rejection.
Oh, and you really, really only get one entry -- the entry tool won't let you try again. So make your entry as perfect as you can!
Thanks much, Gary. You're already a Superstar!
Gary, I'm sorry I _just_ submitted mine with the Item Name in the Subject AND in the Body. Then I just saw this. If there's any way you could delete the subject and make the item name in the body the new subject for me, I would be eternally grateful.
Aww shucks!! I submitted mine under the subject [SUBMISSION]Item Name, before I read this thread. Any chance that it was still accepted?
SWIZ!
Another formatting question...
It sounds like the submissions are message board posts? If so, we'll need to use proper message board tags to format stuff like italics? Is it like any other message board post (including a "preview" button)?
Or is the submission process not a boards post, and I can just upload my Word doc?

It's like a messageboard post, complete with a preview. (However, unlike other posts, you don't get to change the title during the preview, and once you submit it, you won't get to see or edit it again.)
The judges won't reject your submission solely because you didn't use BBCode tags, but using them will improve the readability of your entry, and show that you know to italicize things that are supposed to be italicized. And those things couldn't hurt.

Well, crumbs. I do know that you're supposed to italicize spells, and bold categories, but I thought no fancy code would be a plus in terms of portability for the judges.
Thankfully, it's not an instant rejection, but it's certainly a bummer.
are we requred to list all the math and such we used to design our items? or just the finished product how it would appear in the book?

Ah crap. This is why I just need to stop looking at these boards until the winners are announced. I didn't use the BBCode to italicize the name of the spell used to create the item. It was italicized on my word processor, just not my entry.

Lack of italics on a spell name arent going to disqualify you. We're not that evil. :) We realize this is an internet submission contest. Just like I would never type anything in Courier without a gun put to my head.

Hmm. I think I might have screwed up, I only put the item name in the subject line and not in the body. Reading this again, I still don't know if I'm right or wrong that way. Ah well, it's been fun thinking about my item the last couple of weeks no matter what.

Because we didn't make it clear on the submission page, we won't reject anybody for the subject line situation. In fact, Gary adjusted any inappropriate subject lines, so the judges won't even know there was anything awry.
Should we do this again, we'll make it more clear, and then hold people to following instructions.
