New Deadline for the "Beauty of Words Contest"!!!

=steph9668:iconsteph9668: reports, August 30, 2007
---NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS---

The contest deadline has been moved to SEPTEMBER 15th. So, you have no excuse! :)


The idea is this, I have found a list of words that are considered by some to be the 100 most beautiful words in the english language. I am asking you to pick a word and depict it in a photograph however you want - do your thing! Some words are funny, some weird...don't go for the "easiest" concept - when you find a word you want, write it in a reply to this journal. If someone has already written the word you wanted, try to pick something else. This isn't a firm rule but I would prefer it!

The judges will be =Lohey and myself. The first thing we will look at is how closely your photo fits your word - second the beauty/power/emotion/etc conveyed by photo itself.

First prize is a Three Month Sub + an 8x10 Inch Lustre Print by Lohey of your choice.
Second prize is a One Month Sub + an 8x10 Inch Lustre Print by Lohey of your choice.
Third prize is a One Month Sub.


The rules are as follows:

* The deadline is September 15th at midnight, France time.
* Send a note to =steph9668 with "contest submission" in the subject line and your word with the link to your deviation in the note.
* Each deviant may submit one submission only.
* This contest is ONLY for photographs!
* The photo must be yours! (must be available on deviantART)
* Self portraits are permitted.
* Cannot be a photograph that is already in your gallery.
* You may not manipulate the photo further than what could be done in a darkroom.
* Please, add a link to the contest in the description section of your submission.
* After the competition's deadline the jury will decide on the top three.
