`ArtistsForCharity is an account maintained by the senior members of deviantART. Our goal is to sell artwork as prints with all the proceeds going to a selected charity. Both the artist's and deviantART's profits are donated to the charity. The currently supported charity is Habitat for Humanity. A detailed FAQ of `ArtistsForCharity can be found here.

`ArtistsForCharity and deviantART asked you to create a winter or Christmas themed submission for a postcard or mug. The contest gallery is filled with wonderful entries, and after much deliberation, the judges have picked their favourites. It was a pleasure to see that much talent amassed, and a delight to go through all your entries!

The winning entries of this contest will be added as prints to `ArtistsForCharity's gallery and sold as postcards and mugs, with the profits going to the selected charity. Each product will include one of the winning entries.
