Deviation Actions

To celebrate our one year anniversary as a group, we at BioIllustration are launching our first contest!

:bulletpurple: Prompts :bulletpurple:

There will be two prompts for the sake of variety:

1. Create an illustration in the scientific style highlighting an organism's unique or unusual characteristic (anatomical, behavioral, etc.). You must actually show the unique characteristic! For example, if it's a behavior, show it in action. If it's an internal organ, we need to be able to see it either in cross-section or outside the body.

2. Create an illustration in the scientific style depicting an endangered species you had not previously realized was endangered (this includes plants!). Please no tigers/big cats, pandas, gorillas, etc. - if you did not know they were endangered, you have been living in an intellectual hole.

:bulletpurple: Submitting :bulletpurple:

We will be accepting submissions from now until June 30, 2012. In your submission, please include which prompt you followed and give some information about your chosen organism. Please submit deviations to the Contest folder. Since this contest was created with the goal of generating more deviations for the group, we ask that you submit pieces new to deviantart, rather than entering existing art (pretty please!!). 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.

:bulletpurple: Voting :bulletpurple:

The contest winners will be decided by a general vote. Voting will take place during the first two weeks of July. Since BioIllustration is not a super group and doesn't have a polling function, the poll will be held at Co-founder Banvivirie's page.

:bulletpurple: Prizes :bulletpurple:

We would love to offer a prize other than the satisfaction of winning to the poll winners. If you can donate points, journal features, llamas, or anything else, please let us know in the comments and we will add them to a prize tally below!
