I have a few questions.
Who is judging the Alolan Forms?
Does the typing have to make sense, even if the name says otherwise (Wailmer = Whale + Mer (sea))?
How are they being judged?

me and hngmn are the judges, typing doesnt have to make sense, It will be mainly judged on how well the design is executed, creativity, and craftsmanship
 
"Must be a registered account on PS"

PS or Smogon forums?
And that username required in the google doc is really the PS name or the forum name?

a person with many ps accounts has more entries tho

PS considering its the art room on PS's contest. i am able to confirm if they are someone using multiple accounts, or if its different people. hence why i want it to be from PS. I have tools to check if people are trying to cheese it
 
Does it have to be "Alolan"? What I'm saying is, does it have to be like it is from Alola or Hawaii, or can we just make a variant in any way we want?

Any way you seek fit! Not all have to be flowery n such. Ninetails is a fan favorite and that one became icy
 
I made an Alolan Oddish. Its a lil pineapple and soo cute! :) Is there anywhere I can see everyone else's submissions? Or see mine and make sure it was submitted correctly?

It's encouraged to post updates of your work in the PS art room :> you may possibly see their submissions there, there wont be an open forum to see all submissions yet untill the end

I'd like to enter but can I do just the pokemon's head?
Considering the contest is based on a pokemons design, we would be missing out a lot of information if the body was not drawn. ^^

Is there anyway I can get ideas?
could always try to pick a favorite pokemon of yours, and see what would happen if you changed its typing to something you think would fit an alolan mon, what would arcanine look like as a water type? ask yourself questions like that
 
Do alolan mons have to be based on a biome on alola like the sea or mountains (like Ninetails changed from fire to ice to adapt to the cold on mount lanakila) or can it just be whatever we want

'<')Whatever you want, but id suggest if its not one of the biomes describing where it came from
