"Things that are done out of love are always placed beyond good and evil"- Friedrich Nietzsche
The art should not be a popularity contest, it is something that is done out of heart, for the sake of creation. As the contest is open themed, with this contest we would like to invite the traditional community to create something for themselves, and share it with the rest of the DA population.
Many of us create to get those things hidden within us out, to get the voices inside us to shut up at least for a while, so we can focus and keep sane. Artists dont create by choice, they have to, they have things to say, to express, to scream on top of their lungs, creation is like the breathing for them, one of things that keep them alive, that keep them going, that give them hope, as well help them resolve things.

Judging ProcessUpon the conclusion of the contest the judges will look through all the work submitted and narrow it down to their top 5.

When I was little I used to love the color yellow because it was the color of the sun. The sun heats up the world and makes everything pretty. The makings of a future hippy.-Casey
