It's official. :love:  I loooove going on Contest News Article :+favlove:-ing sprees.  But during my browsing, I found some that were either so cool, or had so many awesome prizes that I just HAD to post a journal entry about them -- and here they are!









Read a Story, Win a Prize!




Help out a fellow deviant!  Simply read the short, 2-page excerpt posted in the article above, and critique it.  That's all!  You could win a 1-month-sub simply for leaving a good comment on a fellow deviant's work.  =D

Deadline:  September 18th
Article:  [Here]








Ever Been Cosplayed?




This sounds so cool.  =D  ~sublimev wants to create a Cosplay costume based on an original character/drawing done by a deviantART user!  I'm tempted to just doodle up some random person in cool clothes -- JUST so I can see it come to life!  If any of you have ever created characters or drawn up costume designs, this is the time to pull them out!

Deadline: September 14th
Article:  [Here]









Fix This Photo!




*0149 is offering a 1-Year-Subscription to anyone who can Fix and/or Photoshop a blurry picture of a dog.  The photo is included in the News Article, and all you'd need to do is make it look better!  ANYONE who knows how to work Photoshop should try their hand at this one.


Deadline:  October 15th

Design MTV's Video Logo!




MTV Asia is holding a contest to find creative artists to create their video logo.  This is not a deviantART-only Contest, but I'll bet some of you Video-Making Geniuses could put something amazing together for it!  =D

Tutorial Time!




You could win devWEAR!  :excited:  All you have to do is try something new!  Use a deviantART Tutorial to create a type of artwork you're not familiar with.  It could be anything!  Then submit it to `Resaturatez's contest, and you could win an awesome prize!


Deadline:  September 12th
Article:  [Here]








Culture Shock!






Love ancient tales and legends?  Feel like learning about another culture?  Then try your hand at one of these contests!  They have amazing prizes, and look like a lot of fun!  You're bound to learn something new simply by reading the articles themselves.

This deviant is trying to put together a birthday present for her siblings - by collecting artwork from all sorts of deviantART users!  Aside from helping out a fellow deviant, you will get a free piece of gift-art simply by entering this contest!  Drawn especially for you!  :excited:  What more could a person ask for!  But shh... both of her siblings are dA users, so spread the word quietly... =D

What a stirring endorsement! Thank you for this advertising, I had no idea you had done this!

In fact, I don't even know who you are (hello!:aww:), I just happened to see your name in the list of people who faved the article (DA doesn't seem to let you know when you get comments or favorites on a news article). But thanks again! I hope you enter.:D
