Deviant Duels is an Iron Chef-esque battle game for deviantART members to determine the best of the best in photography, photomanipulation, and digital painting. Each month, there will be games running in each category with 16 different competitors in each game. Every week is a different round in the duel: the preliminaries, the quarterfinals, the semifinals, and then the finals. The winners of each game will be interviewed and featured on *deviantduels’s homepage.
After all games of the same category have completed for the month, the winners will compete against each other in a final duel. The dA community will then vote to determine the overall winner, who will win fabulous prizes donated from other dA members (these prizes will be announced before the final duel occurs)!
For the photomanipulation games, competitors will receive stock photos that they have to include in their duel piece, whereas competitors in the photography and digital painting categories will receive a weekly theme that they must represent in their piece. Each round is considered a fresh slate, so therefore a new theme and new stock image is assigned each round.
In order to compete in a duel, send us a note with the duel category and your deviant ID in the subject line. For example, if ~abc wanted to compete in the digital painting duel, then their subject line would appear as “Digital Painting, ~xyz.” From here, your name will be put on a waiting list and you will be further contacted with more information on your duel.
