Sorry for taking such a long time. We had to fine tune the details of this one. So..here goes :

The theme will be " The Life and Death of Spring". From your unique perspective, we would like to see how you envision the "evolution" of Spring. Think of time lapse photography and the way the season passes us by - and what we witness in the process. This theme will give all you artists a lot of room to work with.

Original Works Only. We will try to provide you with sufficient time to create an original work.

The following categories are eligible to participate : Traditional Art - Digital Art - Photography - Manga&Anime - Photo Manipulation. (for those categories not mentioned, don't worry. We have planned contests for you very soon!)

The deadline for submissions is Saturday, June 1st at 7pm (EST)

There will be one contest folder open for all entries. ONE entry only.

Works will be voted into the contest folder to make sure all entries are Original works.

Once the submission deadline is up, the folder will be closed. All works will be carefully evaluated by the admin staff. Each category will get it's own round of voting. The Top Eight (from each category) will be carefully selected by our admin staff to be put on the voting block. The winner of each separate category will win 80 points and 3 llamas. This winner will also be a semi-finalist who will compete with other semi-finalist winners in other categories for the grand prize of 1,000 points once each round of voting has been completed. The FINAL round with consist of a voting poll of 5 finalists - one from each category.

An announcement will be made in the journal as to when the first round of voting will begin.

If any donations wish to be made, they will go towards the grand prize.

Please let me clarify one thing before we start receiving submissions. By "original works", we mean works created after this contest was started for the sole purpose of submitting to it. We cannot accept any work uploaded before the start of this contest that closely matches the theme. To be fair, all submissions must be original and created/uploaded after the start date. Thank You.
