Here it is. The contest some of you you probably read about in my or =ImaginaryRosse's journal is finally official. The theme we have decided upon is pretty general so it shouldn't be too hard to find an idea for it. The theme is Autumn Wonders and as you've guessed it has to show the season in some way and wonders you can of course interpret any way you like. While you may be at liberty to interpret the theme as you like, we still have a set list of rules for the contest that you can find below:

1. Entries will be sent via note to both =FrozenStarRo and =ImaginaryRosse! If you don't know how to send a note to multiple users copy/paste the subject in 2 notes, ok?
2. Medias allowed: digital painting, mixed media, photomanipulation.
3. Using our stocks is not a requirement for this contest, but it would probably make an impression if you did.
4. Entries must be a new piece, submitted to this contest only, starting September 3rd until October 31st. No early or late entries will be accepted.
5. You must abide by the rules of all the stock artists. Entries will be declined if they don't offer the proper credits to stock artists.
6. If your work was inspired by another artist be fair and admit it and notify the one you were inspired by of your work. We will not try to mediate any disagreements that might come between the two otherwise, we will simply disqualify the entrant.
7. Try to come up with something different! We've already seen plenty of damsels in distress next to tombs or running in fields. The more original work you have, the more chances are to positively impress us.
8. Nothing too dark, bloody and gory please! It wouldn't really match our tastes in art, and it would certainly not fit the theme.
9. Have fun!
10. Limit of 2 entries per artist.
