Theme
The theme for the November contest is "Candid Moments" (suggested by feat-outsider). You can interpret this however you would like, and all art mediums are allowed!
Deadline
The deadline has been extended a week to Sunday, November 17th at 11:59 PM GMT.
Judging
The admins and I will vote to pick five semi-finalists from all of the submitted contest entries. Then all of the members of this group will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite one, and you will be able to pick the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.
If we receive several dozen entries (and we typically do with long contests like these) we will also have Runner-Ups and Honorable Mentions.

- Creativity and originality (20%)
- Technique and skill (20%)
- Use of Theme (20%)
