CONTEST HAS OFFICIALLY ENDED!!
I was initially going to wait until November 1st to hold our first annual Christmas contest as to not interfere with Halloween and Thanksgiving, but since not every country celebrates these holidays I decided to start it early for those of you who do not celebrate/partake in Halloween/Thanksgiving festivities.
A small sample of our Christmas Elf stock:
You can use other stock in your entry but the source must be legitimate stock from deviantART, stock.xch or other free stock sites, or a stock marketplace such as Fotolia.com.
You cannot use images you found on Google. Using Google images is a violation of dA's TOU and is also copyright infringement.

The theme can be interpreted anyway you wish as long as you use the required stock! You can do your cultural or country's customs or Hollywood's interpretation of Christmas elves. Christmas festivities are borrowed from Pagan customs anyway, so feel free to interpret the theme however you want.

Your entry must be a visual art piece, no literature. You may create your entry in either digital or traditional media.

Your entry must be a NEW submission created between
October 20, 2012 and December 31, 2012, 11:59PM CST.

You are allowed up to THREE entries, but obviously can only win once!

You must state in your artist description that your piece is for the Christmas Elf Contest and link to this journal.
