Autumn Air Contest!
Entries for the contest are now closed!! Thank you everyone for all your amazing submissions, I've been watching them as they come in and I have no idea how we are going to pick a winner! You have all put a lot of effort into them and I wish I could give everyone 1st place! x3 But judging has now begun and the results will be unveiled on Friday.
If you want a look through all the amazing entries you can find them in our contest folder here: dragonnation.deviantart.com/ga…
Hello everyone! I would like to formally announce the beginning of our Autumn Air Contest!! I realise it has been quite some time since our last contest, but I hope that we can do these a bit more often, and that we get some good participation from our community! I will be updating this journal often with any participants as well as any extra prizes or details, so check back often! Also due to the contest, most of the regular journal features will be postponed until next issue, sorry!
Contest Details
The theme is Autumn; when the forests are set ablaze with colour; a brilliant palette of crimson and gold, and the late summer suns basks the earth with its warming glow. A magical time of awakenings and endings, the world around is changing, another year drawing near to an end, but with it the undying beauty and wonder endures.
Your task is to draw an Autumn theme depicting dragons as they embrace the new season. This could be your OC flying through a forest as the fiery leaves fall from the trees, or perhaps our mascots all playing together in piles of leaves! The choice is yours and bonus points will go for being creative!
All drawings, sculptures, crafts and literature are permitted. Judging will be based roughly on the following aspects:
60% on creativity
20% on artistic ability (And grammatical correctness if you are submitting a story)
20% on overall impact of your piece
The above is just a guide and we primarily want to give emphasis on the idea and style of the piece, as opposed to how good you are at drawing/writing!
The rules for submission will be the same as for our regular gallery submissions (found on our front page), with the added restriction that it must also have an autumn theme.
The contest will run from now, until 11:59:59pm GMT on Monday 26th of November, with winners being announced in our Friday Journal on the 30th of November.

From the Gallery
So the idea here is to feature artwork that you have submitted over the last 2 weeks. So that doesn't necessarily mean it will only the best drawn work that will be featured, if you have a good idea, an elaborate design, exciting stories or something unique then you could find your art here too!

Closing comments
As I mentioned at the start a lot of the usual journal content has been differed until next issue due to the contest, so I apologise for the inconvenience! But I hope you enter our contest and maybe win yourself some nice prizes!!
And as always, if you have some content that you think would be a perfect fit for these journals, please send us a note with the appropriate title and if we include it, we will also credit you for finding it! We want this to be as community focused as possible so your help is all but requested!
And good luck to everyone that enters our contest!!
Until next time!

Aww, I'm sure you could! We're basing our judging more on creativity and idea, as opposed to just how good you are at actually drawing!
