Contest Announcement (12th August 2017)



Today starts our contest with the theme "Beautiful Nature".

So, what is this theme about?

In my gallery I have several nature photos, mainly with flowers.

They are my favourite subject, also what I favourite the most.
This time I'd like you to visit this folder egil21.deviantart.com/gallery/… and choose one or more photos for your inspiration. You don't need to nor you have to refer any of them. I just want to see similar photos or traditional/digital art with this theme.

I have some questions about the media. It is mentioned that traditional and digital artist may be inspired by the photos in the folder. Does that make this contest a drawing contest only? Other mediums such as photography and/or photomanipulations are included within the "digital" spectrum or not?

So only insects? No mammals or birds?

Egil21 In reply to TrollGirl [2017-09-06 18:33:34 +0000 UTC]

Yes, you may reproduce a bird or other animal, but with flowers, not on the top of a tree.
I think it's clear, since the first words on top of the journal and all along the rules, that the main subject are flowers.

Hi ! I was wondering if your photos inspired me to create a fairy, would that work? Or does the work have to pure nature without creatures and humanoids/humans?

Egil21 In reply to Majorflaw [2017-08-16 00:10:34 +0000 UTC]

Hello,
No fantasy, please.
Similar means "having a resemblance in appearance, without being identical", "being alike or having the same characteristics" and that's the idea.

Have fun!
