THE WEEKLY ANTHRO CHALLENGE
Each week the anthro community is invited to participate in a weekly challenge designed to allow anthro artists to exercise their imaginations based on a weekly theme. Please visit the #IamAnthro chat-room, if you would like to learn more about the contest, share ideas, or meet the judges and other participants.

CHALLENGE RULES
Please keep all entries PG-13, this means no adult content whatsoever.
Each entry must follow the weekly theme.
All entries must feature anthro characters.
Please make sure each submission is entered on time (Friday 12 EST)
We ask that you dev-watch the *anthrochallenge account to stay up-to-date on contest information.
If contestants choose to participate in their own topic, they CANNOT win. This is so contestants cannot slant the contest in their favor.
Contestants can enter as many times as they want in each week, and every week.
Contestants can enter any piece of art that fits the anthro weekly theme, even if it were not originally created for the contest.
There is NO limit on how many times a contestant can win.

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR ENTRY
Upload your submission to DeviantART just as you would submit any of your other anthro work.
Thereafter, please send a note labeled "Contest Submission" to *anthrochallenge.
Make sure to include a theme with your entry in case you win.
