My apologies for the delay!If any of you remember, I asked what would be the best idea for a jewellery related in a poll a while back, and the top rated answer was 'Myth and Legend'. Real life has gotten in the way, but I'm starting this Contest now to make sure it gets started and some prizes won!
The themeThe theme, as mentioned, is
Myth and Legend. This can be interpreted however you feel it should be so long as your entry fits into one of the three group-related categories below. Myths and Legends covers a lot of ground, so I'm hoping for a lot of ideas here. Below is an example I have made- namely the kraken. This is a pretty literal interpretation, but how you interpret the theme is really up to you!
CategoriesBecause
Devious-Jewellery caters for jewellery, artisan crafts and tutorials, we will have 3 categories to enter your work into:
Jewellery: This includes all types of jewellery, including necklaces, pendants, earrings, bracelets, anklets, ear cuffs, rings, body piercings- all items worn on the body as jewellery.
Other artisan crafts: All other types of artisan crafts, including clothing, bags, sculptures, keyrings, hair clips, plushies, cakes, origami, pottery- anything that belongs to the artisan crafts gallery with the exception of jewellery (as it has its own category)
Tutorials: Tutorials for all types of artisan crafts and jewellery- you may even wish to create a tutorial and the piece you have created into another category. Please make the subject of the tutorial something relevant to the group!
Gallery categories have been added for you to submit directly into:
Myth And Legend Contest- Jewellery Myth And Legend Contest- Tutorials Myth And Legend Contest- Other Artisan CraftIf you're not sure what category your work might fit into, please ask and we'll let you know where it belongs. I will be allowing one entry per category per person, so into total, you have 3 chances to win something if you enter into each category. If you decide to create a tutorial, you are more than welcome to use the created piece to enter into another category- so if you create a jewellery or artisan crafts piece, feel free to enter your tutorial for the same piece!
JudgingAt the moment, the only judges are myself,
ananasjihad,
EveryNextDream and
Little-Vampire but I'm recruiting judges as we speak in an effort to get some varied opinions on the entries! Entries will be judged as fairly as possible and will be chosen for their creativity, technique, interpretation of the theme and their general awesomeness.
Rules You must be a
Devious-Jewellery member to enter
You may enter once per category, meaning a maximum of 3 entries per member
Your entry must be your own work, or if you are sharing an account, the work of either account owner or if permission is granted from other users or collaborators. Entries that are not your own may be disqualified. This means, for example, if you bought a pendant from someone online and tried to pass it off as your own, your entry would be disqualified
Your entry must have been created and submitted to deviantART after the 28th of November, 2011
Your entry must be submitted by Wednesday, 28th March 11.59pm. A countdown clock will display the time left for the contest on the main group page.
PrizesYes- the eagerly awaited prizes! This list will be increasing in size, and all prizes, no matter how small will be considered. Even if you wish to only give a journal feature, it would be wonderful. Please let me know if you would like to donate any prizes and to which places you would like to donate them to
Since there are 3 categories, it will be difficult and expensive to give a first place for all categories, so the prizes will work out as follows:
1st place overall winnerThere is only one first place prize up for grabs, and this will be an overall winner through all three categories, so this will be the best piece from all entries. It will be taken from either of the 3 categories.
If you win this prize, you will receive:
1000 deviantART points on spend on whatever you like
