Welcome
to the 6th Annual Dreamkeepers Halloween Fanart Contest!
This year we’re doing things a bit differently, so newcomers
and veterans alike be sure to read on. …In TERROR!
We’re hosting the festivities in the Dreamkeepers DeviantArt
group!
This
ought to be a lot of fun - everyone can comment on one another’s
submissions, or even give out their own personal awards and citations.
If
you don’t have a DA account, you can make a free one
here:
It’s
pretty simple - just submit your entry to the DeviantArt group’s
Halloween Fanart Contest 2011 gallery, and you’re in! The
entry deadline is Sunday the 30th at 9 am. Late entries
are welcome to join, we still give stickers out - we just can’t
consider them for category judging and prizes.
And
speaking of prizes, here they are!

Every
entry will receive a trick-or-treat prize - the Mystery
Sticker. This is a sticker designed specially for this contest,
and is not available for sale in the site store. To get your sticker,
just e-mail us (Dreamkeeperscomic@gmail.com)
.after you post your entry in DA. Make the subject ‘TRICK
OR TREAT!’ and include your mailing address - and a link
to your entry, so we know you’re legit.
|
 |
There
are 6 categories
where additional prizes will be issued. The winners will be announced
in DA on Halloween, and hosted up in our website
Halloween gallery. |
 |
Funniest.
Have a well developed funny bone? If your art winds up slaying
the judges, you could be a winner in the ‘funniest’ category,
and bring home a Jack-o-lantern bead! |
 |
Creepiest.
If it sends shivers down our spine, it could send a skull
bead to your mailbox. |
 |
Best
Costume. The ‘Once in a Blue Moon’ bead commemorates
the best in costuming and theme among the entries. |
 |
Best
Art. The Golden Spiral bead
goes to the entrants with the most skillfully created art! Note
- the bead isn’t really made of gold. But it is shiny. |
|
(It
is an eyeball.)
|
Best
Comic. The 'Oh Noez Imma
Ghost' bead goes to the top three entries that have more than one
panel of illustration. |
|
Extra-Dimensional.
The eyeball bead goes to whoever creates the most compelling 3-dimensional
creation. Show us a photo of what you did - could be a costume,
pumpkin carving, cupcake, who knows?
|
|
The
one winner and two runner - ups of each category will receive
the Harvest Festival bead representing their achievement.
The beads are handcrafted from clay, baked, and painted by the
creators of the Dreamkeepers comics. They are available exclusively
through this contest. Note the photos above are
from 2008's beads- current designs may have different color schemes.
|
|
The
top winner in each category will also receive the
Grand Prize - a Dreamkeepers stitched gold-logo baseball
cap!
This
is a brand new product we haven’t released into the store
yet. We’ll be putting these caps on sale after Halloween
- but only with the white-lettering. The gold-lettering will be
available exclusively in this contest.
Now
for the nitpicky fine print:

Entries
to the Dreamkeepers Fanart contest should involve the idea of
Dreamkeepers in some way, but beyond that, you are free to exercise
creative license. The Halloween theme is suggested but by no means
required - the main point of this contest is for you to have fun!
If you want to create art for the contest that features your own
Dreamkeeper, that’s totally fine, and makes for a valid competitive
entry. Just so long as your Dreamkeeper doesn’t look exactly
like Jack Skellington or something. Fanart that has competed in
our previous contests isn't eligible to be entered again, but
if it’s never been in the contest before then feel free to
submit it!
Every
entrant will get a free sticker, as long as the address for mailing
is submitted. A person can submit as many entries as they want.
Each entry they submit is treated like a separate contestant.
There is no limit to how many prizes a person can win, only a
limit to how many prizes a single entry can win. (one prize per
entry maximum.)
Every
entry is considered for possible winning in every category - no
entries are looked at only in regards to one category.
Well,
that’s about it for rules - have fun, and enjoy the contest
and your Halloween!
