=Alegion and i are hosting a contest in honour of my 1 year anniversary as a stock artist on dA. and because we simply love all things asian, we are setting the theme as an asian one. there's no specific type of asian style we're looking for really... just has to follow the rules!

entries can be seen here: [link]

general info

start date: may 16th
end date: august 16th (that's 3 whole months people, so do your best on your entry!)
allowed number of entries: there is no set limit, but please try not to spam us with entries because we have lives outside of dA
allowed mediums: we will accept any form of medium except for photography and literature.

the rules

you must use one of =lucretia-stocks kimono or geisha stocks
you can use other stock in the gallery too, but that does have to be present
you must use at least one of *Alegion-stocks stock images.
they don't have to be asian themed stock from his, but you might as well take a look at what is offered. (and no, using my kimono stock does not satisfy this requirement just because you have to credit him!)
the image has to have been posted for the contest
i.e. you can't have posted it before the start of the contest
and you have to put in the artist comments that it's meant for this contest
you have to properly credit all stocks used
we'll check, and if it's from stockexchange, imageafter, morguefile or any other free stock site you have to directly link to the picture you used... again, we will check. no images may be used from google!
if you're planning to use a traditional form of art for your entry...
the stock images you use from *Alegion-stock and i MUST be distinguishable within the piece
send a note to =lucretia-stock AND =Alegion
title it contest entry and include a direct link to or a thumb of your entry

and if anyone else out there is willing to donate prizes that would be absolutely fantastic! some really cool ideas would be (if you've got something else not listed here i'd be more than happy to list it ) :

subscriptions
any length would be great seeing as people love to not have to pay for them
dev wear
cause who wouldn't love to win free clothes or hats, or even a lanyard !
journal and/or news features
this provides tons of exposure for any artist and it's free as long (as you have a subscription for journal features) and you can do it however you want! i've known some artists that feature not only the prize winning work, but other works from their gallery
dA prints
who doesn't want amazing artwork on display in their home or office? or even better, how about a mug or a calendar or something equally awesome that's offered under the prints section?
customized journal and/or gallery css
let's face it, everyone loves having something that was meant solely for them on dA
customized stamp and/or icon
it's easy, it's small, it's FREE, and it's awesome
artwork dedications
it's a sweet gesture and it also promotes your gallery too
exclusive stock
i'm always up for stock from a good artist as a prize!

anyone who would be so kind as to pimp out the contest will be forever loved and adored (and before you ask... yes, donors are more than welcome to compete! so don't be shy; donate a lot of stuff and even if all you can afford to do is a journal or news feature that's still absolutely perfect... the more we have to offer, the better!)

to anyone who is looking for contest prizes: just note the contest information and i will donate any and all of my exclusive stock packs
(whichever you choose,) as prizes as well as a feature for the winners AND your contest will be featured in my journal for the duration that it lasts!
