The Fifth Annual Awareness of the Arts Contest
Remember The Theme for This Year is: Beauty in the Mundane
What it is:
Take one Artist and one writer and have them compete together. The Artist draws, or photographs or manipulates their craft; The Writer, writes a poem or short story based off the artist work *please keep written works to 1000 words or less*. It works the other way too, you can create art from literature too!
Of course we have a theme, Beauty in the Mundane, and your work needs to fit. We are a family here lets show the rest of the world what one form of social media can do. We can bring people from all walks of life with all talents together for one cause.
*For Clarification on the theme please note; Mundane is the everyday; common; ordinary; banal; unimaginative, or relating to this world or earth as contrasted with heaven. Basically I am asking that you find beauty in the ordinary things around you. It could be related to a sunset or a simple droplet of water, how is it beautiful, look at things from a different perspective.
If you can find your own buddy awesome, if you need help finding a buddy we will pair up loners after asking two questions... Art or Writing? and What is your fav genre to work in? *just comment on this journal* If there are not enough in a particular catigory we will do our best to match everyone up!
When:
This contest will run from May 1st to June 30th! After the conclusion of the contest please give us at least 2 weeks for judging before asking for the results... I will make a journal entry as soon as we come to a decision. We will make a poll for you to choose your favorite pair but know, the judges will be responsible for the final decision!
How to enter:
Both buddies will create their entries after consulting with one another on who will create the first deviation. Then the second participant will create their deviation as an interpretation of the first deviation. Both deviations will need to make sure to tag the other deviation in their comments on the deviation as well as tag this journal entry. Then both of you will need to submit your deviations once the folder opens May 1st, You will also need to use the same title on your works so we know they are together.
*note* any art style is accepted ex: photography, photo-manips, all forms of digital and traditional art including pixel art! Please keep short stories and poetry to 1000 words or less (otherwise it will be disqualified). Your piece must be created specifically for this contest and made after April 1st.
