Finally came the first Entry for "Geisha Contest."
I am really happy to start this and I hope that many other Artists will want to send their pieces to participate, I would be honoured and proud for that

This is a first Entry:


- Memoirs of a Geisha - - by =Xx-Black-Soul-xX



I also want to remind all the theme of the Contest and its rules. In addition, those wishing to add their support as Judge or offer some prizes, it will be very welcome .


The Contest was inspired at this time of year and the famous Novel by Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha, from which it was derived the film of the same name. I wish the participants to seize the essence of Geisha and Hanami ("flower viewing", is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the beauty of flowers, "flower" in this case almost always meaning cherry blossoms or ume blossoms), celebrating as the "femininity" of this event so important in Japanese culture and the one depicted in the "Wives of Dusk".


The rules are simple:

-*- Respect the theme of the Contest -*-
-*- 1 Deviation for participant -*-
-*- Do not accept Deviation created before 21 March -*-
-*- Send me a note with the subject: "Geisha Contest" with the Link of Deviation, Thumb and brief description -*-
-*- I accept Deviations only coming into Digital Art, Traditional Art and Photography categories -*-
-*- Do not accept Deviation macabre, horror, which violate the rules of "good taste". I would also ask participants to respect the Artists Stocks, giving credits to them -*-
-*- Use so much creativity, fun to represent the theme of this Contest -*-
-*- The Contest will be closed 1° July to 12:00 PM (Greenwich Time)



Currently, the only judge of Deviations participating, is me. Will be appreciated anyone will engage in this onerous task with me. In addition, extra prizes offered by the kind Artists are welcome .
The Deviations who have responded to requests for this Contest will be judged according to creativity, the essence of the subject and the reasons which led the Artist to choose precisely that composition.
