Get Lucky!

  In honor of St. Patrick's Day, allow me to introduce another contest built around a single theme: luck.

Good or bad, luck is often considered a driving force in our daily lives.  Drop the word in dA's search function and you'll find 54,000 deviations strong.  With that in mind, we thought it'd be a great idea to focus our lucky energies on creating art that exemplifies and epitomizes that theme.

Take a picture, write a poem, tell a story, bake a cake--find inspiration in whatever your talent is or simply in the world around you.  We will be looking for excellent composition, an attention to craft, and an original approach to the theme.  The rest is up to you!

So, are you feeling lucky?

Contest Objective:

Create a new deviation based around the "luck" theme; it can deal with good luck or bad luck--or a hundred things in between--but it must have a noticeable connection to "luck".  Make it personal, make it general--make it anything you want as long as your idea is communicated clearly (and you have fun doing it).

Entries will be accepted in the following categories: photography (no photomanipulations), literature, and artisan crafts.

Rules:

1.  The deviation must center around the "luck" theme;
2.  It must be a new deviation or scrap uploaded to your gallery;
3.  Photo entries must have a minimum width or height of 500 pixels;
4.  No photomanipulations;
5.  Prose entries should not be longer than 3,000 words.

How to Enter:

Send EveningDownpour a NOTE entitled "Luck Contest" with your deviation link before 12:00AM (GMT) March 16, 2007.  You can submit more than one entry, but please do not submit more than three.

Who Can Enter?

This contest is open to anyone with a great idea, but the entries are limited to photography, literature, or artisan crafts.  As long as your great idea falls under one of those categories, you're in!

Prizes:

First prize in each category (photography, literature, and artisan crafts) will receive a 3-month subscription to dA courtesy of our resident leprechaun and her pot of gold.  Please note that prizes are subject to change depending on the number of entries; other prizes may be added in the future.

However, the winners shouldn't get to have all the fun!  In order to test your luck, we have chosen numbers at random.  If your entry (by submission order) matches one of our numbers, you will be awarded a 1-month subscription just for taking the chance and participating.
