While my contest is running, I have decided that I need to do something else to give back to the community. This is where you all come in. I know you ALL know someone here on DA that makes the community a better place... Someone who gives and gives, expecting nothing in return. I have a ONE YEAR SUBSCRIPTION waiting for just the right person. This is your chance to help give something back to someone who you think truly deserves it. Send me your nominations for the Deserving Deviant of Spring 2008. Tell me why you think they deserve a sub and how they have impacted YOUR experiences here on DA.
Couple rules though...
They can NOT already have a subscription. I'm hoping to find someone who has never had one.
You can NOT nominate yourself. This is a way to GIVE to others.. not to GET for yourself.
You may only nominate TWO people.
Your nominees MUST BE ACTIVE... *having logged in and up dated recently and often.*
You can NOT just send me a note with a link to their accounts.. You MUST include the following information PLUS the why and how from the above paragraph.
Link to Their main page.
A little tidbit about them as a person.
Their artistic goals and type of art.
Why you think they deserve the sub and How they have impacted YOUR experience here at DA.
and anything else you think needs to be said.
I have my very own team of "judges" that will be helping me to determine the winner of Spring 08's Deserving Deviant Award.
Along with the one year subscription, the winner will be interviewed and their art and interview, featured in a news article.
Just send me a note with the requisite information and "Nomination" in the subject line.
OKay so now I have TWO contests running at the moment. One over at my club *
Oregon-Artists and one here. In celebration of my new Macro lens, I have decided to hold a Macro Photography Contest.
This contest will be open from Today *April 16* until June 1st!
***NOTE*** Just send your entries in a note with "contest" in the subject line.. make sure you specify which category each entry needs to be placed in. Macro or Close-Up. Your entries do NOT have to be new but I always encourage new works because I like to see new things.
There will be two categories, True Macro, and Close-Up.
There will be one winner from each category, one people's choice winner, and one over all winner. Honorable mentions will also be featured.
***NOTE***
You may enter THREE pieces. Please make sure you note me with the thumbs and the category!!
I am allowing both Macro and Close-Up so be sure your entries state which category. If you don't, I will put it where ever I think it fits. Entries for True Macro MUST FIT THE CRITERIA!! 1:1 or larger... Please visit the lovely

's macro FAQ Journal >>>
[link] if you need to brush up on the specifics of macro photography.
Prizes? Thats where I need YOUR help!!
I will be providing some subs and features, but if this is going to turn into as big a competition as I would like, I need your help!! If you would like to donate prizes, please send me a note. All contributors will be featured in a permanent "Supporters" Journal Section. You can donate anything you want, from a feature to a subscription or gift art... Lots of prizes means more participation!! I really don't want this Contest to flop!!
