Hosted by `TimberClipse and `IceXDragon in conjunction with #DevNews it is likely the first major team competition on deviantART with thousands of points and other prizes up for grabs!
`TimberClipse posted a few days ago suggestions for a project you would want to host, `IceXDragon came up with the idea of a Art Showdown. The two members then worked together in order to present a new and great contest.

May Contest: Navigating deviantART The contest deadline has been extended to June 10th! There will be no further extensions, so get your entries in ASAP!

It's a common complaint...
Particularly for our newer members. "I've set up my profile...now where do I go?"
May's contest aims to answer that question. Your challenge is to create a tutorial aimed at deviantART's new members that shows them as much of the site as possible. Think about when you were new - what areas of the site did you discover only after blundering around? What areas did someone else point out to you? What do you wish you had known as a new member that seems like common knowledge now?
The Rules

You must be a member of #SolutionsSanctuary to enter. All join requests are automatically accepted.

All entries must be created specifically for this contest (uploaded on or after May 10th).

Bring Your Type to Life - A Typography ContestIt is time for another Typography contest! The theme of this contest will be…
Bring your Type to Life
This may sound abstract at first, but to keep the theme as open as possible, I choose a rather abstract title. There are many directions in which you can go. You could choose an anthropomorphic direction, where you breathe life into letters and give them human or other animate characteristics. Another route would be to create the letters out of living objects, such as plants or animals.
Which direction you choose, maybe even a third or fourth one, does not matter. What matters is that your letters are brought to life!
What kind of letters you bring to life, words, glyphs or sentences, is 100% up to you. This contest has a more visual approach, so you will not be judged on the creativity of the meaning you choose to give to the letters. However, don't rush it! Even one letter can appear completely different than another. Be wise with the letters, word

FAQ

Contest? What?
Hello, everyone!
Thing is, everybody knows me by my current avatar, which I've been using for years! But the photo in that avatar is at least 5 years old, I don't feel like that teenager anymore. I need a change.
And there's no better place to ask for new ideas than deviantART. So I'm looking for your devious ideas!

There's something to win as well!
I'm offering the winner either a 30$-worth print from their wishlist, or a dA Addict pack, or a 1 year Premium Membership, or a devWEAR t-shirt... whatever you prefer, we can negotiate!
I'm not setting anything because people are so different and prefer different things, I'm giving you the liberty of choice!
