Taking the Mystery out of Daily Deviations

What is a DD?

The Daily Deviation is a daily staff feature chosen from the galleries here on deviantART.

A small assortment of submissions is chosen each day by a select group of staff members who wish to showcase an image which they found impressive or otherwise interesting enough to deserve being brought to the attention of the community-at-large.

Are there rules for Suggesting?

There is only ONE rule for suggesting a DD to a Gallery Director. Generally, we like the artist to not have had a Daily Deviation in the past 3 months prior to receiving another one. Even this rule can have exceptions.

A suggestion can have loads of favorites, or just a few. It can be a popular deviant or someone unknown. You can even suggest your own work if you feel like it.

How do you suggest?

Simple! Note the appropriate Gallery Director with your suggestion, with a subject of "DD Suggestion". Please include a link or thumb, and most GD's would like an explanation of why you think the piece is extraordinary.

Important note: Please only send your suggestion to one Gallery director at a time. Even though there are multiple GD's of some galleries, there is great confusion caused when you suggest the same piece to multiple gallery directors.

Where to find them?

Thats the easiest of all!! The should be found on your deviantART.com front page, and you can customize where you find them there. FAQ #717: How do I use the 'Frontpage Customization' feature?
