The traditional art club, ~Line-Artist-Inc has now just begun to start operating a new club activity called Member of the Month.

Every month, five random club members will be selected to be voted for as Member of the Month. The winner will have one collection set devoted entirely to them with four pieces and one main piece of traditional artwork featured.

How Do the Members Benefit?
This new activity benefits our club members by raising support for each nominee and Member of the Month.

Let's be truthful, the DeviantART community is more attracted to "featured" work than just your everyday deviation. Each feature will help contribute more support and praise to our participating club members.

How Do You Get People to Participate?
Simple. Guarantee those who do vote to be selected as a Member of the Month nominee sooner than those who do not vote.

Those who do participate in this new activity will be recognized far sooner than those who do not. Just like how one has to "make money to spend money", you have to give support before gaining support.

Sending out individual notes to each club member will also help include those who do not read journals.

How Are the Five Nominees Selected?
To begin with, five random club members are selected and voted for. For future Members of the Month nominees, a club administrator may look through the list of club members and study who is the most active, supports the club the most, or just someone who deserves it.

Nominees may also be voted for but this will be time consuming.

Selecting random nominees will ensure that every club member will eventually be chosen as Member of the Month.

Club administrators will also appreciate being nominated.

How Will the Club Benefit?
Each club that participates in selecting Members of the Month will not only guarantee continued support from nominees and winners but also more deviants wishing to join to gain their future feature.

A club that cares about the amount of support their members receive is a club that will gain members who care about the amount support it receives.

Should All Clubs Start a Member of the Month?
That would be up to you, club administrators, and whether or not you believe your club members deserve it or will actually participate. This activity isn't for everyone because not everyone participates.

The Member of the Month activity is; however, fun and exciting and will help keep the club active and alive. You may twist and turn the rules of the Member of the Month activity as you see fit for your club. It will help gain continued support and appreciation.


This new, fun, and creative activity is something all club administrators should think about beginning within their clubs.

Club members, if you support this idea then spread the word to your club administrators and request a Member of the Month activity.

It is definitely worth your time and effort.

Thank You,
