=LawrenceDeDark has bought the club a three month subscription!! It was an unexpected and awesome surprise, and the club would like to thank him immensely for it!


This area is pretty self-explanatory, really. I'm going to let everyone know just what contests can be featured, and how to get them so, and basically the point of dAContest in general.

As we all have done or seen in people's journals, there are contests at a steady pace being held throughout deviantArt. Be they coloring contests, contests to draw a certain person's character, to photography and even craft contests, these little get togethers are an indelible part of dA culture. There's only one shortcoming. Unless you're the type with obscenely numerous pageviews, and you have people regularly on your page, your contest might end up getting overlooked in the maze of them all. When I first started noticing this drawback, I wanted to start a place like this, to keep track, as best one person can, of the myriad of contests. Now, lucky for me, I didn't have to start said place, I was lucky enough to inherit it from someone who couldn't keep up with it anymore. So now I have a place where you can go if you're looking for any kind of contest.

~How to be featured: It's actually really easy. Note me here, and I'll post your contest for all the world (or at least dA) to see.

The info I'll need to post your contest:
*Usernames of those running the contest
*Theme of Contest, such as Photography, Literature, Fanart, Photomanip, so on
*Length of contest, start and end date if it can be provided
*Link to contest details, and permission to post said details where and how I see fit (which basically means I can tell people in this journal or in the forums about the contest)
*Anything else you think I might need in order to spread the word.

~What Kinds of contests will be featured: All of them. I mean, obviously nothing that violates deviantArt policy, but I've yet to see a contest that actually does that, so I doubt it'll be an issue. However, if your contest has a mature theme, or, in contrast, has a theme where mature art is absolutely disallowed, please let me know in your note, so that I might indicate that when I put it up. The point of dAcontest is, after all, to be a place where people can see a comprehensive list of contests and pick the ones that suit their tastes. So the better your description is, the more people will show up to enter!

One last note: This is for everyone. I don't care if you have 5 pageviews or 500,000. This is a place to get the word for ALL LEVELS of contests out to people.
