Hey all~! Its LenaMoongrove here to announce what you've all been waiting for or didn't know you've been waiting for.
Rising-Artists Next BIG contest~!
Feeling pretty excited? We sure do! Now this contest is all based around the keyword improvement. And therefore we decided to host a "Draw this Again" contest based on the well known and most beloved "Draw this Again" meme by Bampire
----> Meme: Before and After by Bampire  <-----


How to Enter



The aim is pretty simple. For this contest we want you to take a piece that you used to love, or a piece that you just want to redraw, and draw it again. Stick as close to the original as you can~! (Same character, same pose, same expression, etc.) And show us how much you've improved!
Here is an example I made, but there are many more if you browse the "Draw this Again" tag.




Just give the rules below a quick read and you're ready to go~!

Rules




You must keep to all these rules to be eligible to win. Any and all admins can give participants a penalty as they see fit.

- Your "new" entry must be made specifically for this contest and this must be stated in the artist's description with a link to the group and contest
(Example: "Hi guys! This is my entry for Rising-Artists' "Draw It Again" contest! ([link to contest]) what an improvement eh?" )
- "New" pieces made/submitted before the release of this journal are NOT accepted. Memes made/submitted before the release of this journal are also NOT accepted
- Upload your "new" piece to your gallery separately (from the meme) and add a LINK to that piece in the description of your entry
- Your "Old" Piece (that you will redraw) must have been submitted to dA BEFORE the release of this journal
- In case you want to use another piece or have a piece in your Sta.sh that you want to redraw you can note the group or LokiDalton / LenaMoongrove
- No copying, tracing, or stealing art
- No bases, the art must be your own
- All media is allowed (This includes Traditional, Digital, Crafts, Photography, Literature, etc.)
(Note: With Literature and Photography we will be looking at more then just improved grammar/better photo equipment. Think about things like improved lighting/composition for Photography and better flow of the story/poem with more use of adjectives etc. for Literature)
- Your "before" and "after" pieces must be combined in the "Draw this Again" meme (You may tweak it around to fit your pieces)
(Note: Literature people, just make ONE document with both your OLD and NEW writings (Make it clear which is which) and upload that with possibly the meme as top picture (Not necessary, however))
- You must add the year/date in/on which the pictures are made to the meme
- You must link back to the original meme in your artist's comment
(Note: Literature people, if you do not use the meme as top picture you do not have to link back to it of course)
- You can enter multiple times but can only win ONCE
- To be eligible your entry must be submitted to the group (and therefore intended folder --->rising-artists.deviantart.com/… ) before the deadline

Deadline



This contest runs from Saturday, August 15th, 2015 till Saturday, October 17th, 2015 at 23:59 (11:59 P.M.) EST

Judges



We will, for the biggest part, judge on individual improvement and not overall quality. This means that if you improved a lot and another artist submits pieces with stunning quality but less improvement you are more likely to win. We also keep things like dates of creation and the piece you chose to recreate in mind while judging.

Judging is done by all rising-artist' admins.
