... One more Day Ya All.


Contest Theme

Our current contest theme is Erik as Super Hero. Erik as an X-man or a Watchman? V meets Super Erik? Think about it. You can use other POTO charaters in the drawing - with or without special powers. And before I get the question - yeah - a Super Villian is acceptable too.


Here are dA contest rules:

1. No R-rated or pornographic work. We don't know all the ages of our members and we want to keep some sanity.

2. If you do have words in your art please no curse words. We need to keep this safe for our younger viewers.

3. Please do your best and stay on theme!

4. You can submit one (1) piece of art up to two (2) months old.

5. Submissions can be entered from June 01, 2009 to June 27, 2009, 8 PM est Voting will begin shortly thereafter.

6. Enter by sending us a note with "contest" as the subject and containing a link to your work.

8. Acceptable Formats: Any type of art that meets the above rules is acceptable. This includes traditional, digital, photomanips, icons, comics, finger painting, interpretative dance (if you can figure a way to present it graphically), you name it. However, we are limiting entries to pictorial art, so no literature.

9. You must be a PODO member to enter.

10. The entry must include in the description that it is for our contest. An explanation of how the art work meets the theme is also helpful.

11. And the most important rule: HAVE FUN!!!

OTHER OFFICIAL NEWS:


Literature

Remember that the mods have decided to start faving literature, so if any of our members have read some good phanfic here on dA let the club know. Some basic rules for literature submissions:

1. The works must meet dA's submission policies, especially on mature works (see their policy page here: [link]).
2. Completed works are preferred (there is nothing worse than waiting for installments that never come bec the author has tired of the story ).
3. Almost any type is acceptable: Canon, Alternate Universe, Continuations, Sequels, Crossovers, One-shots, Poetry, Vignettes, etc.
4. *Remember* We are an all age group, so either keep it clean or have the appropriate mature tag in place *and* have a sex/violence warning at the top of the submission.
5. The decision of the mods on any particular submission is final.

Thanks Everyone
