First and foremost, I'd like to introduce the other people involved in this contest: and will be my other judges for the entries, and , , , , , , , , and will be providing the fabulous list of prizes (as well as prizes provided by me) below! If you can spread the word in any way, please do not hesitate to do so.
But What is the Theme?
Glad you asked! I'm looking for someone to take an ordinary stock and make it extraordinary. How will you do that? Why, by adding a sense of the mystique to the work...combining several stocks together in a photomanipulation, digital artwork, or traditional artwork to create something magical. That's right! The theme is Mythos and Magic--meaning this contest is open to anything from Arthurian Legends to Fairy-Tales to Ancient Greece to Egypt to Celtic legends--and so forth! Contest entries will be judged on originality, effort, aesthetic aspects, conceptual thought process, and use of required stock.
