ART AGAINST HATRED AND VIOLENCE

Hatred, violence... Those are such ugly words, aren't they?
I recently had to face some hate art here on DeviantArt, and I was telling myself: what about art against hatred in the whole world? After all, art is such an important form of expression. It has such an impact on people.

Hatred and violence are all over the world. We are so used to see it everywhere we go.

This is why I organize this contest: I'd like to see your vision as artist. I'd like to see your art against hatred and violence, against all these killings, genocides and tortures.
Even though this is not going to fight hatred and violence in the world, even though we are not going to change things in one day, one month or one year, we can make ART, we can condemn violence and spread the word of PEACE with our minds, our heart and our souls.

So, let's make this whole World more shiny and beautiful, let's vote for peace, spread the word, and enter the Art Against Hatred and Violence contest!



PLEASE, READ THE RULES BEFORE SUBMITTING!
