Tradtional Portrait Contest!

I've been joining a lot of contests lately, so I wanted to try hosting one instead for a change- A Portrait Drawing Contest!!

What can I enter?
You can enter a portrait of a person made with any traditional medium (pencil, charcoal, pastel, paint, markers, etc.) Your entry must be made for this contest specifically...meaning it must be created within this time frame- September 14th- October 16th. You may enter up to 2 entries. (I'm really Sorry digital artists, and photographers...I just think those are too different of catergories to judge fairly.)

How do I submit my entry?
Please put : icongabbyd70 : (without the spaces) or a link to my journal in your "Artists Comments" and then send me a note with a link to your portrait drawing.

Who will be judging?
I will be judging, but I will also ask the opinions of my 2 lovely sisters,
&

How will the drawings be judged?
They will be judged on the overall appearance of the drawing, the creativity involved, and how well you used your talents, skills, and abilities.

When is the deadline?
September 14th- October 16th

What are the prizes?!
