Newsletter Run by `karemelancholia since april 2007!Giving some fresh ideas to create, contests are essential to creativity!
Here are somes that are flying around!
First sorry for not making 2 newsletters in june but i was on holidays

Want to advertize your contest?
Send me a note : "Contest Ad." including PLEASE : link, title of the contest, deadline if you have one & and if you have a specific category (media) lemme know also.
------
Note that i don't publish contests that don't appear on your front page journal at you dA account! I've noticed that usually when contests are not published in your journal (front page of your account) these contests disapeared! I take serious contests organisations!
That's why i prefer that you give me your journal link. A journal can be updated not a news article (unless if you are a dA admin
).
Thanx.
------
Need TIPS about How to Organize a Contest?
SEE HERE!
------
And see if you can participate and/or help with any prizes donations!
Even a 'simple' journal feature is great for any contest holder!
And if you want me to be a prize donator please just note me! 
The same if you want to modify your contest listings and/or if you find errors.
------
When there's a specific category/media it is noted, if nothing is specified then it's because the contest include several medium
Kare.
= To get more expozure your contest is also updated more frequently in my journal = [link]
