I finally decided to host my first contest. And, because this is my first personal contest and i have no idea how many people will want to take part in, i decided to use a more general theme so it will attract deviants to enter (and never leave 
).
Theme: Let it snow (cause you know, winter is coming) Accepted mediums: Photography, Digital art, Traditional art, Artisan Crafts, Literature (basically all mediums as long as the artwork respects the theme) Rules: All entries must be made specifically for this contest. Translation: it means you cannot submit a deviation that was made before this contest was officially announced. The entry must be dated on or after the start date of the contest (December 1st 2012) - you can start preparing your entry, but don't upload it before the official Contest Announcement. More rules will be announced in the Contest Journal on December 1st.

Problem is, i'm in need of prizes: points, features, premium memberships, commissions, llamas, watches, art requests, comments, faves, critiques, whatever you can give for the winners will be greatly appreciated. I want this contest to be spectacular, so help me pull this through!
The prize/points donors will be mentioned in my future Contest journals as they come along and featured in the Winner announcing journal (as prize/points donors you are allowed to participate in the contest), and of course, will have my eternal gratitude.

If you're going to have 3 winners, I could donate 10 points each~ish? Or maybe 20 points for first place and 10 points for second and third each. Let me know 
And please keep in touch to remind me to give them the points! I remember I had offered points in one group contest once, but never heard back from them
