Good day,



The Silence contest by *Acid-Burst-Love-Fed is still running for almost two weeks -- that is, until November the 1st. If you still haven't submitted your entry, please, read on.

There are six subscription awards waiting.








Silence

Your deviations on dA are tacit. This text on your computer display stays quiet. I'm mouthing the words as I write. I can't make you hear me. Do I need to? What does it mean to be so silent? Is it a relief or a pain? Do I feel lonely or peaceful or do I feel anything at all?

I can't say. But please, show me what is the meaning of silence -- for you.

You can paint it, draw it, write it, sculpt it, design it, photograph it. Whatever is your medium, your task is to reach us. Show the others what is the import of silence in your life -- why it is, where it is. For what purpose it is, if any.



The Rules

Note the contest submissions to *Acid-Burst-Love-Fed with "Silence" written in the subject field.

The entry does not need to be a new one.

The final day for submissions is the 1st of November.



The Six Winners

Three of the winners will be chosen by a jury. They will evaluate not only the technical dimension, but also the weight of artistic expression.

This is obviously a subjective and personal thing to evaluate. But that's what ABL is about -- the courage to let art touch you, affect you. The judges simply decide which submissions affected them the most. And only after that they analyze the technical side of the piece.

Here is the honourable jury:






In addition there will be a federal poll to choose three federal favourites. Only the members of the Federation vote.



The Prizes

The artists chosen by the jury:

1 Twelve month subscription. A permanent journal feature.

2 Six month subscription. A permanent journal feature.

3 Three month subscription. A permanent journal feature.


The three artists chosen by the poll:

All will be awarded one month subscription and a permanent journal feature.
