Alriight people, want to be part of one of the largest ground up community projects here on dA? Currently, we are in the leadup to what could be just that, but we need backing of the rest of you guys, the community.

Most of the details necessary can be found on the account created for this purpose: ~deviantoftheyear, but I will outline the basics here:
Ever thought someone deserved community recognition for one reason or another?
Their shining efforts in the Forums?
Their stunning avatar or witty signature?
Or maybe theres a chat admin who's slaved to make dAmn a better place.
Here's your chance to get them recognised, the Deviant of the Year Awards. Nominations will open once we have enough prizes, and we are hoping to be announce the final nominee lists for the grand prize by mid-late December, so to allow time for nominations and voting, we need prize donations soon.

Currently, we need:

• 1 year Subscriptions x 5


• Prints to the value of US$25 x 1

I am donating one prize, and two others are donating, but without community support, this will not be able to go ahead.

The categories are:

• Best New Deviant (Under One Year on the site) - Prize donated by =timmy64


• Forum Choice Award (Or Best in the Forums)


• Best in Chat


• Best Avatar


• Best Signature


• Best Senior Member (Prints Prize) - Donated by ^oibyrd


• Best Forum Moderator (Prints Prize) - Prize donated by =robinism


• Best Chat Admin (Prints Prize) - Prize donated by =TastyOne


• Best in Staff (All Inclusive) (Prints Prize) Prize donated by ^oibyrd


• Favourite Former Staff (Prints Prize)


• Deviant of the Year

<sub>NB: Many former staff also have the ` symbol, so it is wise to check the length of their subscription to tell the difference, Forum Mods and Former Staff are subscribed "Until Hell Freezes Over", Senior Members (who recieved Deviousness Awards) to my knowledge are not.

We are a community group of non-staff deviants and are in no way connected to the Deviousness Awards process which makes a user a Senior Member</sub>
