NEWS



Whai hai thar :hai: by Jeriko-X
Welcome to the twenty first volume of Contests Around dA, written by TimberClipse!

:new: Very sorry for the 24 hour delay this week. I managed to completely fill my schedule and have no time for dA or this article. Hopefully it won't happen again, but those of you who say "Hey, you have no life!" you can now see I do!

:new: We have our first 2011 contest! Any 2011 contests will have dates displayed as Month Day, Year until December 31.

:new: As many of you know, I recently started up :icondevnews:. Due to the time commitment, there will be no article the first week of every month. (i.e the thursday nearest to the first of every month)
Thanks for Understanding!


LANGUAGE SELECTION




We have 4 versions!

ABOUT CONTESTS AROUND dA




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.

"[Contests] Give me inspiration. All my best pieces are responses to a contest theme."
- Quote From xiodinex


We write this article because we believe that contests play an important part in art. Without motivation many artists do not make art. This is not to say that none do, but many people make their best pieces for contests and this article can really help them achieve their goals and dreams!
- Quote from TimberClipse


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