Dare to Deviate Contest

Nine years ago when deviantART first opened its doors to artists all over the world it was with the hope that it would prove to be a place where people could express themselves, to be creative and different and original.

If anyone appreciates unique and original works it’s all of us here in CEA, so for deviantART’s ninth birthday celebration we in CEA wish to invite artists to help us send a reminder of that original mission to the community and the world with the Dare to Deviate contest.

Contest entrants must combine the slogan Dare to Deviate into an original visual work as creatively and uniquely as possible. Entries should endeavor to stand out from the crowd and explore uncharted and original territory and dare to deviate from the normal submissions which we see everyday here at deviantART.

Entries will be judged by how creatively the slogan is integrated into the artwork, and points will be given on technical merit and skill in execution. Most importantly of all judges will consider the originality of the work and how well the artist has established themselves as a unique individual from the crowd. Fanart pieces cannot be used as entries.

HOW TO ENTER:
Please submit your Dare to Deviate entries to the official contest category: Contests > deviantART's 9th Birthday > Dare to Deviate. We will not see your entries outside this category so please be sure to submit them to the correct spot!
