The pieces were to follow the prompts given below.
Prompts
1. Create an illustration depicting parental care in a non-mammalian animal.
This should be straightforward enough. Parental care includes physical protection, incubation, feeding, etc.
2. Create an illustration in the style of Ernst Haeckel.
This is a German naturalist who is known for his detailed, often colorful imagery of organisms arranged in a pattern. A quick Google image search of his name should give you an idea of what we're looking for. Backgrounds should either be monochrome or have scenery the animals can be arranged upon. Most or all of the animals should be of a similar morphology and/or from a shared taxon, and the composition should be tastefully arranged. Detail and accuracy must be maintained.
Submitting
We will be accepting submissions from now until March 29th, 2014. 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 September 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 March 29 - April 5th. Since BioIllustration is not a super group and doesn't have a polling function, the poll will be held at co-founder's page. However, feel free to drop by her page anytime and donate to the BioIllustration Super Group Fund!
Prizes
If you can donate points, journal features, llamas, art supplies, field guides or biology books, or anything else, please let us know in the comments and we will add them to a prize tally below!

Thank you to all who participated!
Let us know if there's anything we can do to improve the contest process! For six-month contests, we seem to get very few eligible entries.
Do you think we should have shorter contests? Longer contests? One winner? Better prizes? Voting on contest topics? Leave a comment if you have ideas! :D
Contest poll is up! Vote! Go vote now!
Thank you so much to those who submitted! They are all fantastic illustrations!
The poll is up on ~Banvivirie (https://www.deviantart.com/banvivirie)'s page, and if you would like to help make BioIllustration a super group so we can actually have our own poll function, there is a donation box directly below the poll. The poll will be closed on Saturday the 14th.
Sorry about the lateness, I completely forgot with changing day jobs and having people screaming in each ear about meeting deadlines. Ironic.
We will be churning out another set of guidelines for the next contest soon enough. I see a big problem is getting people informed and aware that a contest is even going on, a
Contest deadline extension - September 1
So we have two entries so far - thanks guys! I have had a few other people message me with concerns about finishing their pieces on time. We will be extending the deadline a few more days,
but seriously guys these contests are six months long. :stare:
New deadline: Sunday, September 1 :dummy:
:bulletpurple: Prompts :bulletpurple:
There will be two prompts to choose from for this round, 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
Less than 30 days left on contest deadline!
Not a single entry in sight, Captain.

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 illustrat
