Scavenger Hunt + Puzzle = Scuzzle
To help celebrate deviantART’s 8th birthday, we’ve put together a brand new scuzzle for all you deviant sleuths to partake in. Put on your thinking caps, grab your magnifying glasses, and get ready for a good time. Never heard of a scuzzle? It’s a combination scavenger hunt and puzzle that involves both searching for clues and puzzling them together. Check it out here!
The Bolt Award
This year, the Second Annual recipient of the illustrious Bolt Award is someone who, like its namesake has somehow magically been a part of deviantART since before there even was a deviantART. Pretty fantastic trick to pull off wouldn't you say?! Check this out and see just who is that devious!

So come one, come all, to forty eight hours of Birthday shenanigans! That's right, 24 hours is simply not enough time for us to express the glee and giddiness of this glorious gala! For two days we will be having events all across the site, so stop reading this and read the rest of the article so you know where to go!

CEA - COPYRIGHT & ETIQUETTE ADMINISTRATION

In celebration of deviantART’s eighth birthday CEA is sponsoring a deviantMON contest.

Everyone knows about the deviant Type selection on your settings page where you can choose to label yourself as a certain kind of deviant and the selections range from the upstanding right on through to the downright weird. In this contest you will get to illustrate these deviant types in the form of a deviantID badge, assign strengths, weaknesses, abilities and right a write description of how they act, where they come from or any other weird and wondrous fact about them.

Take away up to $100 in devCash! Please see the journals of $realitysquared, $damphyr and $y2jenn on August 7th for more details and rules!

Dead Silence Movie Contest Winners

lolly:iconlolly: reports, March 15, 2007
From the writer and director of the international phenomenon Saw comes an experience on the razor's edge of fear, Dead Silence. There is an old ghost story in the sleepy town of Ravens Fair about Mary Shaw, a ventriloquist who went mad. Accused of the murder of a young boy, she was hunted down by vengeful townspeople who cut out her tongue and killed her. They buried her along with her "children," a hand-made collection of vaudeville dolls.
