So Adam Jenson messaged me yesterday with the suggestion that I start a monthly Escapist art competition. I figured I'd run with it, so here goes for details.
At the start of each month there would be a new competition opened up, with a week for submissions to be completed. The second week would be judging by a panel of people to take the two 'best' submissions from each medium (eg. two from prose, two from photography and so on.) These would be collectively voted on by the community for an overall winner.
The submissions themselves would be based around three things. A prompt, a theme and a motif would be given for each different competition.
Any prompt images will be used with permission of the artist, and I'll request that they're available as stock for photomanipulation and the like. Anything else which you used must be with permission as well. We're not condoning copyright infringements here.
The submission can be anything. A poem, a painting. Hell, a sketch in the back of a school book if you really want. Just so long as it follows the guidelines.
Rules and guidelines:
-Nothing which is unsafe in a work environment.
-Make it original, please. Feel free to use stock images etc. as mentioned above but get permission and actually change them in an original fashion.
-It's no problem for the submission to be confronting and thought provocative however don't let it get out of hand. Tasteful stuff please.
Anyway. Feel free to put up suggestions, and expressions of interest. That's what this thread is for. There may be a badge in line for the winner each month too.
