GFX - Make A Change Contest 2008
Wysiwyg | 04/07/2008 @881 | edit post

Too often artists get stuck in a comfort zone. This contest is all about making changes in yourself to become a better artist. The Task There will be 2 different categories to this contest, you can choose one or the other, or both, but these aren't combined in anyway, and each part will be judged separately. Category 1 -Changing Mediums Your task is to create an original piece that incorporates the theme that is a medium that you have never posted in before. Example:  Byonder has never posted a 3d work, or posted a traditionally painted work. Category 2 - Changing Styles Your task is to post an artwork in a medium that incorporates a theme that you have normally post in, except try a new stylistic approach that you normally wouldn't do. * One post per contestant per category Example:  ThruMyEyez would do a portrait photograph shot since he normally does nature photography, so he would be expanding his horizons to a new style of photography he has never tried/posted before. The Theme: No theme, no constraints, nothing, go nuts with any idea and have fun. It is important to have the freedom to come up with absolutely anything you desire when trying something for the first time. Judging The judges will be judging based upon: Originality (in comparison to your own portfolio) How you challenged yourself As a piece of art alone, in how it interprets your vision, and the overall success/impact of the image. Judges:  Daykan  Byonder  BaronImpossible  twistoflime  Wysiwyg Prizes Because of the fact that we are trying to make a change with ourselves, why not try to change the world while we are at it? When the winner of each area is decided, I will donate $50 USD on behalf of each category winner's name to the charity of their choice. In addition, the winner of each category will also receive a ‘plus’ membership, in the event of the winner already having a plus membership, the runner up shall receive a plus membership, while the top winner still gets charity choice. How to Enter: 1. When you upload to your gallery, the title of your work must say one of the following. For Category 1 - Make a Change 2008 - Medium For Category 2 - Make a Change 2008 - Style 2. Make yourself a banner size around 500x80, then post here in the Official Thread with your link to your post. Deadline: The contest ends on May 31st GOOD LUCK!

Looks like fun. I'll probably enter Category 1 with a Painting since my Photography is pretty varied.

I will soon start working with watercolour and pencil (new materials to me) but it's a drawing based on a long-gone pet for a friend...will that qualify for this contest? :S Will do the drawing anyway just wondering ^_^

Hey hey...it's 6 May. Deadline is still currently the 31st. With only one entry per category thus far, it looks to be an easy win for them.
