Dialectical Dessertism: The ContestIt has long been debated just how cake and pie came to be bitter enemies (and occassional allies against other desserts). Some say it started in the Middle Ages when butter was first used for both unequally awesome desserts.
While others say it was when cake became a CV and the power went to her head!
At still yet, there is the rumor that is started when pie failed his sobriety test and blamed it all on cake for keeping him out too late.
But maybe none of those are the real story. That's where YOU come in.
What's this Contest About?
It's pretty simple. You're going to answer a very simple question. What is the origin of the pie/cake debacle? How you go about doing that is completely up to you. But since you have complete creative freedom to write history, we're expecting some very interesting (to say the least) renditions.
What's Going to be Judged?

Both poetry and prose will

Emoticon TournamentAfter months of waiting and anticipation, the "Secret Contest" I had planned is here! I bring you, the Emoticon Tournament!

As some of you may remember, !DryBones44 hosted an epic tournament called the “Multi-Round Emoticon Drop Out Contest”. http://web.archive.org/web/20110815070308/http://drybones44.deviantart.com/journal/41567949/

The tournament was a blast and there were many participants! And I am going to revise it!

So, here is what’s going to happen:

Details:

After all the participants are gathered, I will use random.org to match the participants up randomly. I will then select a topic, and then you and your opponent will face off and make an emote based on the theme. You will have 1 week to make the emote, and then our judges will decide the winner of each match up.

If you win your match, you will move on to the next round, and face off another winner

Summer Seaside ContestUs founders have been very inactive lately so to make up for it, we'll be holding an awesome contest for you guys .
Theme
Participants should submit photos/paintings/drawings related to summer, nature and water (can be ocean, sea, lake, anything).

Deadlines and such
You can submit from this day on until 1st September ! However it must be in this folder: http://beautifulscapes.deviantart.com/gallery/43739209 . If one fails to submit their photos there, they won't be taken into consideration. Btw, there's a limit of 5 photos per participant so only post your best work!

Judging and prizes
Our co-founder *Calisaroa and I will be deciding, however we'll have polls through which members can vote as well. If, say, 60% of members vote Picture X which the two of us don't particularly like, he or she will get a popularity prize consisting of their works being fea

OC Summer Fun in The Sun Contest! Cash Prizes!Time to get this second contest of the year started! The first one I held this year had a decent turn out, but I'm hoping even more people enter this one. What can I say, I enjoy seeing the drawings people come up with for my contests.
If you couldn't tell from the title this contest involves original characters and summer. This will be a "draw yours and my original character" type of contest in which you show the characters enjoying summer. Each entry must have at least one of my characters and one of your characters for it to be eligible. Your character can be a completely original one or an OC from a popular existing universe (pokemon, naruto, bleach, etc) as long as it is your own character. It can even be one that you make up just for this contest. Unlike my last "yours and my oc" contest you will only have two of my OCs to choose from. This is mostly cause they are the ones who I've really been focusing on. For whatever reason I've never made character sheets for eithe

The performance of the slam poem must be between 1-3 minutes. If it is longer or shorter we will ask you to modify the poem.

Video submissions are accepted (via a link to youtube in the writer's comments of the literature deviation)

Prize Donations and Judges for Contest Wanted!

Wed Nov 14, 2012, 7:01 AM

Yes, you heard correctly, I am ready to launch my third contest!

With one small detail still in need of being cleared up: the prizes.
While I can provide a certain amount myself I feel it's not even remotely enough to reward any of you for your without doubt great work. Thus I would be extremely happy if some of you could offer points, memberships, dA-goodies, art prizes, features or anything else you believe might make a good contest prize. <3

Donators DO have permission to enter the contest as well, so no need to worry about that and all of you will of course be mentioned with your username in the prize list.

I am also still in need of four judges so if you feel you would do well at this job please send me a note. Include the reason why you would like to be a judge and why you would be apt to be objective. I value objectiveness in judges above all so make sure to convince me.

I will only pick FOUR people, so please don't be disappointed if you will not be one of them.
Judges are obviously NOT allowed to enter the contest!!

A big thank you already in advance to everybody who will be able to help!

If you still need prizes, I could donate journal features and llamas!

^ValaSedai Nov 28, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

That would be lovely! Will it be one for each place or did you have something else in mind?

=KiaraJoy Nov 28, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Hmm, let's see. I can actually add to my donations. How about 1 llama, journal feature, custom stamp and custom avatar for each winner?

Or you can mix it up, say, do all four for the first place winner, do three for the second place winner, two for the third place winner, one for runners up (if you're doing those).

^ValaSedai Nov 28, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

So technically you could do all options for each place? I will see that I add something in relation to the placings then, like you said, maybe all for first and then a bit less for the other two.

Either way, thank you so much!

=KiaraJoy Nov 28, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

You're very welcome!

Let me know when the contest starts so I can advertise it.

^ValaSedai Nov 28, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

The contest is in fact already going on, you can see the journal here: [link]
Please also double check if the way I distributed your donations is alright. ^^

=KiaraJoy Nov 28, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Oh okay!

Yes, it looks good to me. I'll post about it in a little bit.

^ValaSedai Nov 28, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Thank you, I really appreciate all the help.

`Infinite-Heart Nov 14, 2012 General Artist

I shall pimp this out.

I'd be happy to judge. I'll donate a journal feature!

^ValaSedai Nov 14, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Awesome!

So one feature for each of the first three places, right? :3
