deviant's Appreciation Day 2007

The idea for deviant's Appreciation Day came originally from @Tachy-on, who started a forum thread back in April, raising a very valid point -without you, without your art, your community spirit, your journal postings, forum threads, opinions and news articles - deviantART would not be deviantART.
With over 4 million users, we are sure that many of you have forged international friendships and creative partnerships which will be lifelong. On site, we have hundreds of art collaborations as well as community groups which regularly interact in order to develop high quality art packs and deviations.
There are regular devmeets held across the globe including the United States, Canada, England, Scotland, Wales, Germany, Holland, Spain, Thailand, Australia, Israel, Argentina, Peru and Venezuala. Some of you have even gone on to meet and marry your partners, and produce deviant offspring through interacting on deviantART. Community love, for sure.

So, to get back to @Tachy-on's original idea, we think you really do deserve a deviant's Appreciation Day, and here you have it. A day where everyone in this art community does something to show how much we appreciate everyone else for being here.
deviant's Appreciation Day officially kicks off at 10am PST, Friday 22nd June. You can find your own local time here.

Various contests and events will take place throughout the site, where you will have the opportunity to take part in art challenges, scavenger hunts and other associated madness. Make sure you drop by the Forums and dAmn, as you are sure to find plenty of action on there.
We've got prizes galore, including devwear, prints, subscriptions, software, vouchers for self publishing. We've got signed goodies from $spyed, $lolly and other deviantART Staff. Gallery Directors and MN@ are giving away prizes that are too good to miss! So watch out for various journal announcements from deviantART Staff and Volunteers throughout the day to let you know what's going on, and where.

We hope you have an amazing day!
