This contest is running over the new year, new year new start and all, so hey, NEW BEGINNINGS! (Yes, yes I know. Providing the world doesn't end soon.

though even that would be a kinda new beginning, it's the beginning of an afterlife or of nothingness or reincarnation, whichever belief you hold to.) So long as your work is titled and inspired by the idea of beginning, starting something new, something unknown

Innocence of an angel - Group Contest
Contest Theme - ἄγγελος
Create an very innocent angel. It can be a child, female or male angel, but it have to be a innocent one. Try to imagine what angels are. Here is a little help:
An angel is a supernatural being or spirit found in various religions and mythologies. In Abrahamic religions they are often depicted as servants of God and celestial beings who act as intermediaries between heaven and Earth.[1] In Zoroastrianism and Native American religions angels are depicted as a guiding influence or a guardian spirit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel

CONTEST IS OPEN"IN THE EMBRACE OF WINTER"

Each season brings a different experiences and emotions, different atmosphere, a different colour pallette.
Winter is a time for reflection and rest, a cycle of life-death-rebirth,
the inward journey, embracing darkness and silence.
Winter days are short, with long nights. The cold weather can make us sad and lethargic.
The season offers a sense of calmness and makes us feel peaceful.
The most romantic time of the year?
A snowy, frosty, cold world or rain and endless grey skies can be beautiful
but some people find that they become seasonally depressed as they receive less light in winter.
People feel tired and sluggish during winter. Too cold, gloomy, depressing?
Do you feel the winter blues or you enjoy the season?
Go back to your memories and keep your focus on your experience and emotions.
Show us your feelings about winter.
Show us your winter mood...now, in your past or childhood.

CONTEST ENDED!!

Journal Entry: Sun Oct 21, 2012, 3:45 PM

Christmas Elf Contest

October 20, 2012 thru December 31, 2012

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.

Contest Rules

You must use at least ONE of our Christmas Elf stock photos.

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.
