Welcome to the eighteenth volume of Contests Around dA, written by TimberClipse!

This week we had very few submissions, I hope to have more next week!

TimberClipse has been extremely busy lately, and because of that the iContests section is somewhat lacking this week. Hopefully things will be back up to 100% soon.




We have 4 versions!
_{Please be aware, these non English versions are run by other deviants and may take time to be translated. Please contact these deviants for questions about these versions.}

There are a lot of contests around dA these days, chances to win points, subscriptions, art and more! But many are hard to hear about and some you must watch the contest's owner to even know about!

Contests can give inspiration and get deviants to make more art… that is why it is so important to learn about contests.



So, this news article will be published weekly to let you know about them and to give publicity to them!



We would like to thank a number of deviants and groups who help make this article possible.
