This is a contest for all amateur photographers and traditional artists. My definition of amateur a person that has never sold their work for profit or has already won a contest on deviantART. The topic is nature, interpret that any way you want, and you can enter in two categories- photography (no manipulations please) and traditional art (Ex: pencil, pastels, paint, charcoal, etc.)

Rules:

*it can be an old deviation
*it must be traditional art or photography
*it must be in by November 30th
*one deviation per person please
*it must be related to the topic
*no professionals allowed please (give some of the underdogs a chance )

Prizes:

*Right now, all I can offer is a feature for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners, but prize donations would be great and you can still enter the contest if you donate a prize.

Just send me a note with the title "contest" and specify whether you're entering the photography or traditional art category and then attach a thumb.

If you have a little spare time, feel free to check out my gallery too!
Good luck to you all!
