Are you ready for the awards?
Have you remembered to do a little advertising and a little to "pass word" among your friends?
Prizes and Featured are still welcome, and certainly those who Participate will be happy to see lengthen the list of awards. So, you caught in your "Deviant-Pockets" and pull out the kindness (and not only ) that marks the Artists of this world .


Instead, for those still searching of inspiration, not finding enough in the theme of the Contest, I prepared a Featured-News with a collection of Photo, Packages, Brushes and Textures that recall the theme of Competition.

Have a look here: Collection Resources for Geisha Contest

I am saying thanks and I hope will fun for them, as I hope will entertain the participants .




Let me remind you also respect the rules and theme of Competition, simple and I hope not demanding, that I put once again below:


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) -*-
