Spring Alliance Contest!

Greetings, luminous Allies! It is my pleasure to announce the Spring Alliance Contest!

:iconlit-visual-alliance:
What is the Alliance, you ask?
The Alliance is a project group intended to encourage visual and literary artists to work together. I've felt for some time that the dA Literature Community can at times be somewhat insular - to its detriment. We in the Lit Community are also sometimes prone to griping about the lack of exposure our work receives when compared to that of visual artists. So in the spirit of ^thorns brilliant Complaint Challenge I thought I would try to do something about that. And so the Alliance was born!
Because I, your founder, have a deep and abiding love for the seasons, this group now hosts seasonal contests, and as the Winter Contest is now over, it is time for Spring.

Single Stock ChallengeHello from the admins of #TheArtOfManipulation! It's time for a new Contest and this one is going to be BIG!

How it Will Work
For this contest, we are going to make things TOUGH. We will provide you with a list of stockers that you can choose from, however you only get to choose ONE stock artist and you must use all stock from that artist. And to make things even harder, you cannot use any human models, premade backgrounds, PNG cut-outs, or brushes (except the preset ones located in your software already). Also you MUST use a minimum of 3 stock images, there is no maximum

The Rules

You can draw many entries (that would be lovely ^^) but only one can win (1st, 2nd or 3rd place)

It can be in any form (digital, traditional ect.) (head, chibi, normal, realistic ... )

Couples are always sweet

Dialectical Dessertism: The ContestIt has long been debated just how cake and pie came to be bitter enemies (and occassional allies against other desserts). Some say it started in the Middle Ages when butter was first used for both unequally awesome desserts.
While others say it was when cake became a CV and the power went to her head!
At still yet, there is the rumor that is started when pie failed his sobriety test and blamed it all on cake for keeping him out too late.
But maybe none of those are the real story. That's where YOU come in.
What's this Contest About?
It's pretty simple. You're going to answer a very simple question. What is the origin of the pie/cake debacle? How you go about doing that is completely up to you. But since you have complete creative freedom to write history, we're expecting some very interesting (to say the least) renditions.
What's Going to be Judged?

Both poetry and prose will

Emoticon TournamentAfter months of waiting and anticipation, the "Secret Contest" I had planned is here! I bring you, the Emoticon Tournament!

As some of you may remember, !DryBones44 hosted an epic tournament called the “Multi-Round Emoticon Drop Out Contest”. http://web.archive.org/web/20110815070308/http://drybones44.deviantart.com/journal/41567949/

The tournament was a blast and there were many participants! And I am going to revise it!

So, here is what’s going to happen:

Details:

After all the participants are gathered, I will use random.org to match the participants up randomly. I will then select a topic, and then you and your opponent will face off and make an emote based on the theme. You will have 1 week to make the emote, and then our judges will decide the winner of each match up.

If you win your match, you will move on to the next round, and face off another winner

OC Summer Fun in The Sun Contest! Cash Prizes!Time to get this second contest of the year started! The first one I held this year had a decent turn out, but I'm hoping even more people enter this one. What can I say, I enjoy seeing the drawings people come up with for my contests.
If you couldn't tell from the title this contest involves original characters and summer. This will be a "draw yours and my original character" type of contest in which you show the characters enjoying summer. Each entry must have at least one of my characters and one of your characters for it to be eligible. Your character can be a completely original one or an OC from a popular existing universe (pokemon, naruto, bleach, etc) as long as it is your own character. It can even be one that you make up just for this contest. Unlike my last "yours and my oc" contest you will only have two of my OCs to choose from. This is mostly cause they are the ones who I've really been focusing on. For whatever reason I've never made character sheets for eithe

Request a Free Prize! November - Update

Wed Nov 7, 2012, 11:43 AM

November's Budget - 1,100 points

I know all the holiday events are coming so hurry and send me a note using the below instructions while the points last!

November's Remaining Budget: 900 points

Thank you to the awesome *Rainbowonders for donating 600 points to this month's prize pool!

Request a Prize

I'd love to support your community activities! Sometimes I have more money than time, so this is a great way to spread the love without cutting back on things like sleep.

If you'd like for me to contribute a prize to your project / activity / event /contest, send me a note.

In your note, please tell me about your activity, especially if it hasn't kicked off yet. If it has already started, include a link to the announcement. It is perfectly fine to ask for a prize donation before the start, but you'll need to tell me some details about it.

Examples of what I like to see: Community and/or literature related activities that deviants can participate in. Chat events. Contests. Participation prizes!

(And more!)

What I DON'T want: Begging for points. Begging for premium membership for you or for your friend. Prizes are, well, prizes and meant to be distributed as rewards with equal opportunity for all deviants.

Collect Your Prizes!

Don't forget to note me once your contest or event has ended. You will want to include a link to your wrap up or announcement. This allows me to know who to send what prize. Since I donate to many activities with varying lengths, it's impossible for me to know when you've completed judging without a reminder. Please, note me!

Open Donations

Donations I've promised but have not been sent yet. These activities are typically still on going and worth a peek!

#InspireTheUninspired's Memories and Resolutions contest starts on November 19th and is promised 100 points for their prize pool.

`OfOneSoul's Illustrate My Story contest that begins in December is promised 100 points.

=Sevslover6195's Draw or Write my OC Contest is promised 50 points.

#ThisIsNYC's ~~October 6th~~ devMEET is New York City is promised 1,000 points. [Postponed to a future date.]

I know I have about 5 open right now, but can't recall any others. I usually wait for note reminders.

Recent Donations

Donations I've recently sent. Some of these, marked with a

Recurring Prizes

Prizes for events that repeat and I always donate to.

Word Wars Chat Tour stops twice a month, and at each stop distributes a 3 month premium membership and 200 points.

Missing a Prize?

Do I owe you or your contest a prize? I apologize for forgetting. As you can see I donate in numerous places and occasionally forget by the end date. If you're missing a prize, please send me a note with a link to the winner announcement. (It would also help if the prize listing is there so I know who I owe what.)

Prize donations are at my sole discretion. This includes whether I donate or not, what I donate, and how much I donate. Prize donations are also restricted to my available budget. If you do not receive a donation, it's probably because I'm out of points and not because your project is considered unworthy.
