I need HELP! The Fourth Annual Awareness of the Arts, is set to begin May 1st, with sign ups beginning April 1st!
Come vote on a THEME or suggest your own ideas!
So, my lovelies, I am asking for volunteers to advertise, and groups to Affiliate with the contest! I am also asking for donations: points, llamas, features, commissions, and more!
*Extremely Important* Please note all places 1st- 3rd and honorable mention will have 2 prizes. So if you would like to donate memberships it may be better to just donate the points so that they can be divided equally. And commissions will also need be doubled (just so you can keep that in mind for the scope of donations).
Current List of Donations: Awareness of the Arts Prizes
All donors will recive a feature (and a llama if you haven't gotten one) from me Amarantheans.
All Advertizers, and Affiliated groups will be mentioned in all journals made about the contest!
Though Judges are not allowed to enter the contest, all donors are welcome and encouraged to join in!

Let me explain what is going on, this is what the contest is:
What it is:
Take one Artist and one writer and have them compete together. The Artist draws, photographs or manipulates their craft; The Writer, writes a poem or short story based off the artist work *please keep written works to 1000 words or less*. It works the other way too, you can create art from literature too! 
Of course we will have a theme and your work needs to fit. We are a family here lets show the rest of the world what one form of social media can do. We can bring people from all walks of life with all talents together for one cause.
If you can find your own buddy awesome, if you need help finding a buddy we will pair up loners after asking two questions... Art or Writing? and What is your fav genre to work in? *just comment on the sign up journal* If there are not enough in a particular catigory we will do our best to match everyone up!

When:
Pre-registration/Pairing begins April 1st and the contest will run from May 1st to June 30th! Match ups are allowed after the start of the contest, it is not neccissary to pre-register for the contest. After the conclusion of the contest please give us at least 2 weeks for judging before asking for the results... I will make a journal entry as soon as we come to a decision. We will make a poll for you to choose your favorite pair but know, the judges will be responsible for the final decision!
How to enter:
Both buddies will create their entries after consulting with one another on who will create the first deviation. Then the second participant will create their deviation as an interpretation of the first deviation. Both deviations will need to make sure to tag the other deviation in their comments on the deviation as well as tag this journal entry. Then both of you will need to submit your deviations to a folder created for this contest. You will also need to use the same title on your works so we know they are together.
*note* any art style is accepted ex: photography, photo-manips, all forms of digital and traditional art including pixel art! Please keep short stories and poetry to 1000 words or less (otherwise it will be disqualified).
It is not necissary to join OurDreamsWillCome or CollaborativeMinds to participate in the contest, but we would love to have you as a member!
Rules:
Absolutly No nudes, and No gore and please keep foul language to a minimum as OurDreamsWillCome and CollaborativeMinds are groups for all ages of deviants.
*Importaint* If you use any bases, photos, or any other stock that is not yours please do not forget to give credit to the owner... as this will disqualify your team, once judging has started.
*Sign ups will begin on April 1st in a journal that will be posted on my account as well as CollaborativeMinds and OurDreamsWillCome. Please wait for this journals publishing to begin to request to be paired up.
Group founder:
I also want to mention that I am happy to have singles, you don't have to have a buddy to participate!
If you cannot find a buddy on your own and would like to participate please list what genre you prefer to work in and wether you will be the writer or the artist, as a comment on the sign up journal.

Judges:
I can defiantly use more judges! We will be judging off of adhearance to the theme and how well the two works tell each others stories! Each work will be judged seporatly first then brought together to judge on how well they work together as one, then a single pair will be chosen for each place.
In general this is how the judging goes A Gaze into My Mind. just keep in mind there were only 19 pairs and this is why I only had judging on a 1-19 with 19 being the best.
So what do you think? Do you want to help me out with this contest?
Any questions send them our way:
