2015 Mascot Contest Officially Re-Open!

I apologize for the horrible delays in getting this updated contest journal posted.  With not having a working computer it makes an online presence very difficult.  But here it is at long last the re-opening and updating contest journal!

Due to the undefined deadline, the contest prizes have changed to take our prize donors into consideration.  Prizes may change depending upon the prize donors ability to fulfill their donation.

2015 Mascot Contest Rules


  1. Only members of ArtisticAnimanga may participate in this contest.  No affiliate, watchers, or non-members may participate.

  2. All contest entries must be made specifically for this contest.  This means you cannot submit a deviation that was made before this contest was announced.  Your entry must be dated on or after the start date of the contest (February 13th, 2015).

  3. You can submit a maximum of two (2) entries, but you can only win once.

  4. All contest entries must have the group icon in the artist's comment area.

  5. In the artist comments, you must give this group, ArtisticAnimanga, permission to edit, manipulate, alter, use (basically we need written permission so that we, the group staff, can actually use your entry as a mascot if it is selected.)  You can add the stipulation that your entry must win in order for us to have this sort of access to your work as well as can only be used for group purposes.  Here is a generic permission statement you can use:

    "I, __(your dA username)__, give ARTISTICANIMANGA (artisticanimanga.deviantart.com) permission to manipulate, alter, edit, and use my deviation __(title of deviation)__ for their group purposes.  This includes group tutorial deviation previews, posting this deviation on their blog, logos, group avatar/icon, and other other such uses for their group.  I will only allow ARTISTICANIMANGA (artisticanimanga.deviantart.com) this permission if my entry, __(title of deviation)__, is chosen to be the group's new mascot.  This contest entry may not be used for any other purposes."

  6. Please only use minimal watermarks.   Please do not splatter text all over your entry, it takes away from the quality of the work.  Minimal watermarks means something very small that does not affect the work.

  7. All contest entry backgrounds need to be white or transparent.

  8. Your entry cannot violate our group policies.  This include our list of what our group finds not acceptable.

  9. For your contest entry to be acceptable as an entry, it must follow the contest theme.

  10. You may use digital or traditional mediums as well as mixed mediums.

  11. All contest entries must be submitted into the Favorites folder labeled "Mascot Contest 2015".  This is to give everyone a chance at submitting their entry as well as keeping the group galleries rules of standards in place.

  12. You can submit your contest entry to the group galleries.  However, they will be subjected to our standards of quality control.

  13. The winners will be submitted into the contest gallery when voting is complete.  So if your entry is selected as a winner, please accept the group's request.

  14. Important!  There is no deadline currently set for this content but rather open slots that are open for submission.  Once we reach 10 entries the contest will close for voting.   If we do not reach this goal of 10 entries before the end of this year we will close the contest and vote on the submissions that we do have.

  15. If your are selected as the contest winner you must contact the prize donor within a timely manner or you may end up forfeiting your prizes!
