Hello everyone of Magicalwoods!
Finally our contest will start! Both MILICRAFT and me collected some prizes and we're happy to announce the theme.

But first I want to thank my now co-founder for all the help in managing the group! Thank you so much! :love:

:bulletblack: Now for the contest theme: MAGICAL WOODS - The spirit of nature.

Since it's our first contest we thought it should be something about our groups' name. So create a creature that you think stands for nature. A spirit that's either a guardian of nature or maybe represents nature itself. You can be quite free in the design. It can be a dragon, an elf, a pegasus or unicorn, well in fact any creature you think fits best as a spirit of nature.

:bulletblack: Here some basic rules for the contest:
- You have to be a member of MagicalWoods.
- Your entry must have a background, not just some splashes of color.
- Please no mature content or too much violence.
- You can submit up to two entries, though you cannot win two prizes. Simply because it wouldn't be fair for the other participants.
- Your entry has to be a new one that was submitted to devART from the moment on this journal is written.
- You have to include our groups name and contest theme in your description of your entry.
- Your entry can be drawn traditionally or digitally. Photo-manipulation and crafts will also be accepted.

---> :bulletred::new: :bulletred: IMPORTANT: Well, I thought it was clear, but the artwork has to be your own of course! In the case of photo manipulation you have to credit the original owners of the photos or artworks. Otherwise you'll be disqualified.

We'll open a new folder for the contest entries called "Contest Entries".

Now what are we looking for and how will we judge?
Judges will be MILICRAFT and me. We'll both judge on this aspects:
- How well does the entry fits to our theme.
- How creative the basic idea of your entry is.
- Drawing, composition and coloring skills.
And we're also interested in your thoughts about your entry. So don't be shy to write your thoughts in your description. You can also include an inspiration like a poem or something ;)

:bulletblack: DEADLINE will be the 18th January.
So you have a month from this day on. If an extension is necessary then we'll extend the contest of course a bit.
