Spring Alliance Contest!:wave: Greetings, luminous Allies! It is my pleasure to announce the Spring Alliance Contest! :party:
:iconlit-visual-alliance:
What is the Alliance, you ask?
The Alliance is a project group intended to encourage visual and literary artists to work together. I've felt for some time that the dA Literature Community can at times be somewhat insular - to its detriment. We in the Lit Community are also sometimes prone to griping about the lack of exposure our work receives when compared to that of visual artists. So in the spirit of ^thorns brilliant Complaint Challenge I thought I would try to do something about that. And so the Alliance was born!
Because I, your founder, have a deep and abiding love for the seasons, this group now hosts seasonal contests, and as the Winter Contest is now over, it is time for Spring. ^^; I

Also you MUST use a minimum of 3 stock images, there is no maximum :)

Dialectical Dessertism: The ContestIt has long been debated just how cake and pie came to be bitter enemies (and occassional allies against other desserts).  Some say it started in the Middle Ages when butter was first used for both unequally awesome desserts.  
While others say it was when cake became a CV and the power went to her head!  
At still yet, there is the rumor that is started when pie failed his sobriety test and blamed it all on cake for keeping him out too late.
But maybe none of those are the real story.  That's where YOU come in.
What's this Contest About?
It's pretty simple.  You're going to answer a very simple question.  What is the origin of the pie/cake debacle?  How you go about doing that is completely up to you.  But since you have complete creative freedom to write history, we're expecting some very interesting (to say the least) renditions.
What's Going to be Judged?

You will have 1 week to make the emote, and then our judges will decide the winner of each match up.

OC Summer Fun in The Sun Contest! Cash Prizes!Time to get this second contest of the year started!  The first one I held this year had a decent turn out, but I'm hoping even more people enter this one.  What can I say, I enjoy seeing the drawings people come up with for my contests.  
If you couldn't tell from the title this contest involves original characters and summer.  This will be a "draw yours and my original character" type of contest in which you show the characters enjoying summer.  Each entry must have at least one of my characters and one of your characters for it to be eligible.  Your character can be a completely original one or an OC from a popular existing universe (pokemon, naruto, bleach, etc) as long as it is your own character.  It can even be one that you make up just for this contest.  Unlike my last "yours and my oc" contest you will only have two of my OCs to choose from.  This is mostly cause they are the ones who I've really been focusing on.  For whatever reason I've never made character sheets for eithe

Reminder about Stock Usage for Photomanip Contest

Journal Entry: Fri Jan 18, 2013, 10:01 AM
Hi all,

Don't forget about our photomanipulation contest:

Photomanipulation Contest: Rebirth and RenewalWelcome to the latest community competition for Photomanipulation!
This is the official kick-off blog for the latest, greatest EXTREME PHOTOMANIPULATION CONTEST here on dA! The contest is backed by #communityrelations with HUGE prizes and hosted by #CRPhotomanipulation. This journal describes the rules for the contest. Please read it carefully.
What we mean by "Extreme" photomanipulation
You should reach beyond your comfort zone and create a deviation that is bold, unique, and better than you thought you could create. Try something new. Break the mold. You've got this!
We have HUGE prizes. So, we are expecting HUGE results.
Theme: Rebirth and Renewal
Our theme, Rebirth and Renewal, was suggested by administrators of #CRPhotomanipulation. You are hereby challenged to create a photomanipulation that shows rebirth and/or renewal. For example, it could sh

Important:


I want to remind you that, if you are going to use png or psd stock, you need to make sure the stock provider has stated where they got the stock from. If you don't know, ask. If you are still not sure, don't use it. Stock providers need explicit permission from the original photographer / provider to share stock that is not theirs with you, even if they changed it. 

The same thing goes for premade backgrounds. Sometimes, stock providers will get stock from places like sxc.hu or even pay-for stock sites like shutterstock.com, and then they make premades out of that stock and offer them to you. This is illegal UNLESS the stock provider has EXPLICIT permission from the ORIGINAL photographer and/or stock site to do so. So, again, check with the stock provider and make sure the stock is legitimate before using it.

On the other hand, this is an "extreme manpulation" contest designed to test your boundaries and push you beyond your limits. Why not make your own backgrounds and cut out your own pieces of stock? :P

I have already declined a few pieces with bad stock, and I don't want to decline yours. You only get 2 entries, after all. 


Thanks,

Jade

I wish stock providers would be more careful ><. Half of the resources are either not credited or just stolen. Gah.
Thanks for the reminder :).

Hey Jade, I've been gathering up the trusted members of the stock community (and still in the process of it) in a group called #Safe-Stock-Resources if that helps any. The requirement for membership is that their entire gallery needs to be following da terms and guidelines to the letter. :D I got tired of seeing some fantastic stock providers that do follow the rules being lost in the shuffle of Bieberites and 'render' mongers. That way they can be featured in the group, and it keeps those posers who would abuse a stamp, out. :)
