Anybody know of any great art contests out there? I'm usually participating in the monthly challenges at dreamslayerartworks.com and there are always some pretty awesome prizes from the likes of FoRender, Xurge, Sparkyworld, Sequestrian, and a host of artists both here and over at RDNA.. This months theme for example is Altered Universe (which I love)..

But what about everybody else? Know of any other challenges out there that an artist can really sink their teeth into?

    There's a regular contest over in the General Freepository: The Freebie Challenge. As the name implies, you have to use free items in your artwork, although you're also allowed to use a few paid items. (The full rules can be found here.)

    There's a different theme (and a different thread) each month - this month's is "Dog and Pony Show." There's a different set of prizes each month, too, although they usually include some gift certificates along with the limited-edition models.

    Cool! Ever since they trashed the old message boards and replaced them my exploration here has been limited so I completely missed that.

    Wow, Stonemason's contest looks awesome. 1st price is his whole catalog. That's like what, more than $1000?

    Wow! That one does look awesome! I got the name madmanmike with an obsessive attention to detail; Stonemason's models are perfectly matched to that old peculiarity..

    Marieah's kitbashing contest looks like a lot of fun too...I'm planning to give it a try: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/14967/

    And there's the monthly New User Contest, of course, which I'm guessing may not be the best choice for you MadManMike, but I thought it was worth mentioning: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/14447/ (and my understanding is, even if you're not new to 3D, you can still enter the contest if you're new to the specific program or discipline you'll be attempting)

    lol, yeah, I think I qualify as older than dirt.. Been around here since the introduction of V3...

    I thought about that kitbash contest, but it wasn't clear enough in the rules what kits were allowable.. I kitbash every day, with Davo's products (some of which I actually bought here when they were still in the store)...

    The last contest on the DAZ forums I participated in was a Dystopia one, and the contest got cancelled after the entry deadline... This was my entry then:

    I always felt the songbirds were way overpriced.. If it weren't so high I'd probably have them, but I don't think I'd really have any interest in using them as the primary figure in an image..

    That said, I loved the movie Big Year...
