My mission from today?
To spread the word about suggesting Daily Deviations, and make everybody happy!!!


So...what is a Daily Deviation?
FAQ #61: What is a Daily Deviation?
FAQ #18: Who selects the Daily Deviation and how is it chosen?

A Daily Deviation (DD) is basically a staff-chosen feature, and you can see the choices for today, HERE.
It is a really massive honour to have your work showcased to the whole community for a day, and I want to spread the joy of Daily Deviations with all of you.

Although DD features are selected by the staff, we Deviants can also suggest artwork that we think should be featured for the day, and if it is chosen, we are credited with the suggestion.
I don't think enough people realise how easy it is to suggest DDs, so now I will attempt to enlighten you, and hopefully get everybody suggesting!


So, how do you suggest a DD?
It is actually a very simple process, and it won't take too much of your time at all! There are only two parts to it.

Find some awesome art!!! (Trust me, there's plenty of that round here. Try and choose really special or inspiring pieces that you think are really worthy of the DD honour.
Try not to suggest the work of an artist if they have had a DD within the last three months, or have had over four DDs in total. You can see the DDs an artist has had by clicking "browse" in their gallery, scrolling down to the bottom, and clicking the link you find there.)

Note the appropriate member of staff with your suggestion! (For a list of all the staff and the categories for whom they can feature DDs, you can go to *stafflist.
Don't send your suggestion to more than one member of staff, it will cause lots of confusion... )


In your note, remember to include all these things:
Title the note "DD Suggestion", it is a great help to our busy Gallery Directors.
Include a link to the deviation that you are suggesting or, if you are a subscriber, a thumbnail.
Explain briefly why you think the deviation should be featured, what makes it special or inspiring to you?
Be polite, and try to write in full sentences!


So, there you have it! The very simple process of suggesting a DD.
I hope this has been helpful to you, and that you won't mind me setting you a challenge now...

I would like you to suggest at least one DD each week.
You don't have to do any more than that, but I would be so, so happy if you would try and use a little time to suggest some of the awesome art you have seen in the past week.
And maybe, YOU could make someone very, very happy.

Thank you for reading!
