__________________________________________
Hey guys. I'm having a ton of trouble getting the contest of the ground so It will be postponed for a few months until there are less contests on dA and I can raise more interest in the contest. I'm also going to change the title of the theme so that it sounds more sophisticated to...
Surreal/Dream Art.
For those who aren't truly familiar with what surreal art actually is, it is a picture that is dream like. The surreal art category also encompasses art where the artist paints/draws/etc. whatever comes to their mind, weather it be an apple in a bottle of Windex or something way weird.
These pictures generally do not make sense on the surface, or just don't make sense at all since they are dream like and a lot of dreams just don't make sense.
So if you've already made an entry, don't worry, because it still will fit the category if it doesn't make sense.

For a list of prizes please look further down for the link.

I'm going to run this similar to *Lisajen-stock's contest in that there will be three categories, beginner, intermediate, and advanced, that way the people who are new at an art style don't have to be up against people who are expert at the same art style.
All art mediums will be included in the same categories of either beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
There will be prize(s) for each 1st place winner of each three categories. Acknowledgments will be given to the second and third place winner of every category (provided enough people enter) or prize(s) will also be given to third and second place winners (provided there are enough entries for that and enough donated prizes.


To be a judge or enter just send me a note!

The contest has not officially started yet but if you want to start making/submitting your entries go ahead
