Hi all! So the polls have shown that the new theme will be active animals for the contest at #ArtisticAnimals! I am very excited for this theme. I had a few more good suggestions for a theme, which all seemed to revolve around water, so that will probably be our next contest   Anyways, onto the current contest.

Theme:
Active Animals. I want to see works which have animals moving in an obvious way. Some examples would be jumping, running, flying, fighting, playing, etc.

Deadline:
Contest starts now and will end December 15th, 2012. Subject to change depending on how many participants we get. Not entirely sure how the judging will be done this time around, but it should start December 16th, 2012

Rules
You must be a member of #ArtisticAnimals to participate.
You may submit up to three works. I would prefer it to be made for this contest, but that is not necessary. If you have already submitted the deviation to the group, please let me know which one it is through a note, and I will move it to the correct folder for you.
Any medium will be accepted
Entry must say that it is for this contest, and have a link back to this journal. I will be checking this time around!


Please submit your entries into the corresponding folder in the favorites section at #ArtisticAnimals which can be found here: [link]

If you are unsure about your entry fitting the theme, please ask! I promise I won't bite

Last but not least, prizes!

I currently have very little to offer, considering I broke the bank with the last few giveaways and contests I've done . But that can change very easily, all it takes is you . If you can offer a prize, please let me know with a comment or a note. Be it points, features, premiums, llamas, artwork, everything works!
