Feature Contest [Closed]

Hello everybody!!



The contest is over, and I will enter the judging phase along with Egil21. Please be patient. My life is currently rather stressful, and it might take quite a time. As I gave you a lot of time to write entries, I hope to have your patience to judge on the entries.
We got 40 entries, which is an awesome number. There are wonderful thematic features amongst them, and I really hope, that this project helped to make a lot of featured artists happy, and also to create a sense for how a wonderful feature could look like .

(I am a bit sad, that one deviant made her account inactive during the time, so that her 3 entries are sort of invalid. In order to give the prizes to the active deviants, those entries will not be part of judging, even though they did the same job as the others: feature artists and spread the love.)

Good luck to all, and until sooooon



I am in current dialogue with All-about-features in order to set up a second contest like this but with free chose of skins and also with an option for non premium-members.
People who are interested in sponsoring prizes - please contact Felizias - she will be organizing the prizes
We highly appreciate our sponsors.


After holding my first contest about journal-skins which was a success so far, I want to go ahead, doing my next contest already!

To thank the participans of the previous contest and show them my appreciation - and to make sure, that their skins are recognized by the community, I want to host a follow-up contest.

Dates:

Deadline: 1st November 2014

How to enter/Rules:

choose one of the skins that have been created for the original contest. (Unfortunately you need to be a premium-user to do this)

make a feature with at least 20 artworks of 20 different artists.

feature the journal-skin-creator with his icon and add three of his deviations separately from the other works.

Mention at the very bottom/or top, that this is an entry for this contest. You MUST include my icon - (to do this, write : iconwindklang : but without the spaces) and link back to this journal.
This is to make sure I get notified. If you put the icon into the footer I will not get notified and you need to comment back on this journal - however: if I do not fav your entry into the feature contest entries - Folder, please leave a note somewhere to notify me!

You can enter multiple times, but not more than one entry with the same journal-skin.

 All entries without a place:
- All entries that did not recieve a place will get a number. To those numbers I will raffle off
2 times 10
Or in other words: Two of those entries will randomly recieve 10





Please note, that all the prizes except from those of Egil21 & TheFavouriteShowcase will be given by WindklangWidget. To keep it easy and transparent I asked our sponsors to donate the prizes to me. To safe their donations I set up the widget.


Please note some things I have realized lately getting more entries:
- you can enter with every journal in the folder only ONCE! (If you have entered with different ones and I have not realized yet, please make sure to change it, or tell me which one of them you want to have officially entered. Otherwise both of them will be DISQUALIFIED!!)
- You do NOT have to put the icon of the 20 (or more) artists you feature to the pictures.
- You MAY feature more than one picture per artist as long as there are still 20 different artists featured.
- You MAY feature more than 20 artists - of course xD


---> Even the new followup-prices are already unlocked!!
You guys are AWESOMENESS!!


All prizes are unlocked now!!
Since I won in a raffle by Audinitia I am going to give 10 points to places 21-30 each - IF WE GET 30 ENTRIES!!!
Go ahead

This contest is - even more than the original one - focused on shaping community. I want to appreciate the work of journal-creators, but also shape other deviants ideas of good art-features

Hosting and Judging:

Official host is myself (just to avoid confusion)

&

the feature needs to be appealing to the eye. To choose a theme would be helpful.
the feature should somehow correspond with the skin
the feature HAS TO follow all the rules (one work per artist! Mention of the skin-creator! Mention of my icon! Skin of this folder!)
if I/we have troubles about deciding on the rank of a feature, we might check the comments on the features. Friendly answers and supportive comments will then increase your chance in case of doubt!
innovative featuring-manner is appreciated

Other things for your attention:

There are skins of the following deviants in the folder:



Those deviants are not able to ask me to do the judging with me (of course )
They may participate but they may not choose their own skin for their entry/entries. It must be one of another deviant.

All the best and have fun creating most beautiful features
