Thank you to all who participated in our last contest! Wonderful entries were had!
Onto the next topics!
Prompts 
There will be two prompts to choose from for this round as well, however these two will
not be easily combine-able, due to their requirements. You must either do one or the other.:
1. Create an illustration of the largest organism and smallest organism of some taxon, showing their relative sizes. The difference in size may be too large to show the details of both, so the illustrations don't have to be to scale, but the comparative sizes have to be shown somehow, i.e. with scale bars or silhouettes. Ex: Largest lemur and smallest lemur in the world.
2. Create an illustration showing how to differentiate between 2 or more similar species, genera, or families of organisms. This is for two organisms that are initially difficult to distinguish from one another.
Submitting
We will be accepting submissions from now until August 24th, 2013. In your submission, please include which prompt you followed and give some information about your chosen organisms. Please submit deviations to the
Contest folder.
Deviations must be original pieces submitted after March 14th 2013. After the contest has concluded, the deviations will be moved to the appropriate normal gallery folders.
Note:
Submissions will be held to the same standard as normal submissions, since they will eventually be integrated into the normal gallery folders. Hence no sketches or poorly scanned/photographed pieces. If we turn a piece down for artistic reasons, we will include a critique.
We will also be checking that the content of the illustrations holds to the guidelines of the prompts.
Voting 
The contest winners will be decided by a general vote. Voting will take place August 24 - September 7th. Since BioIllustration is not a super group and doesn't have a polling function, the poll will be held at co-founder
's page.
