Deadline July 31st
Theme: To fit in with our charity the theme of the art submission must represent 'Hope' and 'help' It doesn't necessarily have to be related to natural disaster. I am thinking along the lines of 'Pray for Japan' art, you can see other peoples ideas here: Pray for Japan Art examples
The art will be judged based on idea, relevance to theme and implementation.
[*]There must be something that shows that the doll is a BJD, be it joints or general style. Nudity will be allowed as long as it is not realistic or crude. (eg; dolls are not exactly anatomically accurate with regards to private areas) If you want to show off a nude doll, I suggest you just don't draw the genitals (like a ken / Barbie doll)or cover it to be safe. Excessive gore or violence, sex or abuse themed pictures will not be accepted. The focus here is to show hope and not destroy it.
[*]You can create this picture digitally or traditionally, but it must be submitted via email or post before July 31st
[*]There can be up to 3 entries per person, however you can only win once. You can put your signature or other logo on the picture as the artwork will be judged based on idea, quality and theme relevance.
[*]you do not have to be a great artist to win if you have a well expressed idea.
Judges: will be people who are a part of the art community and a winner will be selected before the event.
Prize: Prizes will be announced once we get them. All prizes will be equal.

[*]You can get as creative with the theme as you like, take it in any direction you wish as long as the resulting image ties back to it. We've left it purposefully open so people can take it and run with it.

[*]Nudity is allowed but within a PG13 context, nothing too explicit please. The same goes for gore etc.
[*]There can be up to 3 entries per person, however you can only win once. You can put your signature or other logo on the picture as the artwork will be judged based on idea, quality and theme relevance.
