Its still not late to participate in Creative Spirit of Traditional Art Contest
This is an opportunity for the Traditional Art Community to celebrate what it is all about: the manipulation of the physical medium and creating wonderful pieces of art. Art, for most of us, is about expression of emotions, about opening our heart and soul and pouring it out through artwork for the world to see. It is not about favorites, it is not about page views, it is not about “omg” comments, it is beyond a thing of beauty: it is about emotion and letting yourself go.

We are giving you absolute artistic license to embody the "Creative Spirit of Traditional Art" by using your traditional media of choice. This is open to all traditional artists, be you a print-maker, painter, sculptor or other. Use your imagination to capture that spirit that thrives in all of us!

The Rules:

Your entry absolutely must conform to all deviantART TOS and Submission Policy standards.
This is open-themed, but strictly for traditional works.
Only cropping, borders, watermarks and digital adjustments destined to match the digital picture of the artwork to the traditional artwork you have done will be allowed.
No digital enhancements allowed aside from those in Rule 3, those works found in violation can be disqualified by the judges.
References, if used, must be credited on the description.
The piece must be new and created specifically for this contest
Any prizes can be declared not awarded if so decided by judges.
