Announcement Monday May 12, 2008

Hello,

Xendrian M., President of Hemisphere Studios is officially announcing a long grandstand effort to bring one of the best competitions known in the fandom. We are announcing the return of DocWolph's Might of Maidens now rebranded as Maidens '08 and MaidensExpo

Created back in 2004 by DocWolph the first contestants consisted of ones chosen by a first come, first serve basis and featured 20 of the most powerful characters around a small number of which were from other artists. The first competition failed because of lack of interest and loss of third party participation. Then three years later in 2006, a second competition has arrived now with more second party competitors but the same problems of the competition of the last one applied and was officially canceled by DocWolph because it ultimately left him doing all of the work.

Then on March 28th 2008. DocWolph came up to propose one more shot at the competition but with him taking lesser control and leaving the works to me. Which at the moment I will take the helm. From here the rules have changed and new rules have been applied to make sure everyone doesn't get left out and there will be enough time to get started on their entries.

So here it is. I present to you The Maidens '08 Competition and MaidensExpo


Maidens '08

Format and Location

The location of the competition is located on the grounds of the Great Chronometer Building on Prime Earth (to those familiar with the Interrealm Universe). Located on the outskirts of the Washington D.C. arclogy seen here [link] Where there will be plenty of space for both venues to host at the same time and that will take place.
