]]> ~DAContest Devious Journal Entry http://DAContest.deviantart.com/journal/10070646/ http://DAContest.deviantart.com/journal/10070646/ Thu, 14 Sep 2006 13:40:45 PDT
As we all have done or seen in people's journals, there are contests at a steady pace being held throughout deviantArt. Be they coloring contests, contests to draw a certain person's character, to photography and even craft contests, these little get togethers are an indelible part of dA culture. There's only one shortcoming. Unless you're the type with obscenely numerous pageviews, and you have people regularly on your page, your contest might end up getting overlooked in the maze of them all. When I first started noticing this drawback, I wanted to start a place like this, to keep track, as best one person can, of the myriad of contests. Now, lucky for me, I didn't have to start said place, I was lucky enough to inherit it from someone who couldn't keep up with it anymore. So now I have a place where you can go if you're looking for any kind of contest.

~How to be featured: It's actually really easy. Note me here, and I'll post your contest for all the world (or at least dA) to see.

The info I'll need to post your contest:
*Usernames of those running the contest
*Theme of Contest, such as Photography, Literature, Fanart, Photomanip, so on
*Length of contest, start and end date if it can be provided
*Link to contest details, and permission to post said details where and how I see fit (which basically means I can tell people in this journal or in the forums about the contest)
*Anything else you think I might need in order to spread the word.

~What Kinds of contests will be featured: All of them. I mean, obviously nothing that violates deviantArt policy, but I've yet to see a contest that actually does that, so I doubt it'll be an issue. However, if your contest has a mature theme, or, in contrast, has a theme where mature art is absolutely disallowed, please let me know in your note, so that I might indicate that when I put it up. The point of dAcontest is, after all, to be a place where people can see a comprehensive list of contests and pick the ones that suit their tastes. So the better your description is, the more people will show up to enter!

One last note: This is for everyone. I don't care if you have 5 pageviews or 500,000. This is a place to get the word for ALL LEVELS of contests out to people.
***************************************************************

First off, we're going to have a new category :D Those watching have seen it in t heir boxes already, but for those who haven't, I'm going to add a category for art jams. They've been appearing in increasing number lately, and while they're not specifically contests, they are a great way to flex your arteest muscles, and there are all kinds to choose from.


Lots of people note me questions here at dAContest, so I thought I'd write a FAQ that explains some of the more oft asked stuff. ^^

Q: How do I post a contest?
A: How to be featured: It's actually really easy. Note me here, and I'll post your contest for all the world (or at least dA) to see.

The info I'll need to post your contest:
*Usernames of those running the contest
*Theme of Contest, such as Photography, Literature, Fanart, Photomanip, so on
*Length of contest, start and end date if it can be provided
*Link to contest details, and permission to post said details where and how I see fit (which basically means I can tell people in this journal or in the forums about the contest)
*Anything else you think I might need in order to spread the word.

Q: How do I become a member?
A: Well, technically this is a memberless club. However, if you run contests often, I can watch you and keep an eye out for contests. You'll have to note me for me to do that though.

Q: You know, there are other contest clubs on dA. Why do we really need yet another?
A: Why not? The whole point of these contest clubs is to get exposure for the artist who is holding the contest. This club has contests that the others don't have, just as they have contests that I don't. However, there are some contests that all the clubs, or at least some have as well. This means more exposure for that contest. And that's the goal. I'm not in competition with these other clubs, I figure they're for the contest runner, so we all agree on the goal.

Q: Can I become a mod here?
A: Sure, if you're really interested, I can go for that ^^ just note me, and we'll work it out.

Q: When will you feature a contest for (insert genre here)?
A: When someone notes me to tell me they're... ]]> ~DAContest New Category: Art Jams http://DAContest.deviantart.com/journal/10070645/ http://DAContest.deviantart.com/journal/10070645/ Thu, 14 Sep 2006 13:40:31 PDT

This will be a physical award, and will require the winner to give their address to recieve the prize.

The following are contests that deal with Art.

--------------------------------------------

is holding a contest!!

The contest will start on October 13th and will end December 10th. The contest will be judged and prizes given sometime around the 15th. I don't really mind more then one entry a person that's fine, but don't go crazy! lol The first place prize will be $50 (great Christmas shopping money!) and i may also add 2nd and 3rd place prizes of line art. (sorry i don't color!)

Character Descriptions:
Lumi:
She's an outgoing slightly nieve girl (around 23ish) Fights with a staff (due to religious preference she refuses to kill but does protect herself) She gets imprisoned and later befriended by a female pirate captain! On a quest to find her husband she meets new people, introduced to a whole diff. way of life, and learns a thing or two about herself. As far as physical appearance i want to leave your imagination to that but if you need some basic guidelines... Shorter hair, 5'2"-5'3", 23 yrs old, strong legs, small boobs (yea we all can't be blessed), big eyes, and small lips.

Amethyst:
A princess born sort of mysteriously (story details not quite worked out) she is called the "Rose of Callegh" she is very close to her father who's rather short and old. She has a handmaiden who's a little on the hyper side... and an owl who taunts her with her secrets. The reason she was named Amethyst is due to the fact that she has what's now known as Alexandria's Genesis and if you read up on that you'll get a very good description of what she would look like. She is usually in royal clothing (mostly purple's) and a hooded cape.... it's cold in Callegh. Other then that let your imagination run wild!
