Above you find the overview of the currently running
Dream-Grafix contests, the past ones can be found below. If you want to submit
artwork to a currently running contest, all you have to do is click on the name
of the contest to check out its specifications and create an artwork according
to those. Then on the submit page mention the contest name in your reasons for
making.
Prizes are usually recognition and a place in the Dream-Gallery, but sometimes
DG hosts special contests in cooperation with other sites which sometimes
feature prizes such as your art being featured in a magazine etc.
Different types of contests:
-
Normal Contests:
These are contests in which the DG Crew sets a challenge according to which you
have to create the artwork. This can vary from creating artworks containing
certain elements to creating artworks using only certain means to create them.
There usually is one in each section running over a period of approximatly 2
and a half months
-
Monthly Contests:
These contests are not officially announced as they start with the first of
every month and stop with the last of every month. The winners here are decided
upon the artworks which got the most votes in each section over the entire
month that just passed by.
-
Yearly Contests:
These are basically the same as monthly contests but on a yearly basis. The
artwork with the most votes over the entire year in its section wins the
Dream-Grafix Artwork of the Year Award.
-
Special Contests:
Special contests usually happen in collaboration with other sites. The
challenges are very specific, as with the normal contests, and are usally set
by the other site. Prizes also vary. Sometimes it involves features in comics,
sometimes extra promotion on that site, but in every case you are awarded with
a spot in the Hall of Fame.
-
Contests by Numbers: These are
unannounced contests as well. They occur when a multiple of 100 artwork is
submitted. (100th, 200th,...) So they are entirely decided by chance. It's an
extra contest to easily keep track of the artwork count on DG.
Whenever you win a contest award, wheter it's a monthly contest or a normal
contest and wether you finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd, you are allowed to place one of
the buttons below on your website / portfolio.
Note: It's always possible to
download the original psd-file colour in a different shade to fit your
portfolio / website scheme.
