EDIT: Friday, April 25, 2008 @ 3:25 PM CST: Th contest is over! View the winners here.
EDIT: Wednesday, March 26, 2008 @ 4:12 PM CST: Several things to tell you today.
- The deadline has been changed again. We're five days from the end of the contest, and there are only five entries. The new deadline is Friday, April 18, 2008.
- Instead of me judging the contest by myself, I will be holding a poll.
- Each contestant may now submit up to four entries.

So here it is - my first contest, Dreams Take Flight. I'm not sure how it'll do, or even if anyone will enter, but I hope people will. For this contest, you must use one of my character stocks available here. You have my permission to make the deviation a print, if you wish. The contest will start Monday, February 18, 2008 and end Friday, April 18, 2008.

Rules
- Each contestant may submit four pieces of artwork. However, you can not win more then one of the Top Three spots.
- You can not use the same character(s) in both submissions. You can use more then one character in each entry.
- You must use one of my characters, which are available here.
- The entry must have been submitted AFTER the start of the contest.
- Once your entry is submitted to dA, you must NOTE me with a link to the deviation.
- You may submit your deviation as a print, as long as any stock used is credited/allowed to be used for prints.
- You MUST give credit to any other stock, if used, regardless of whether or not it's available for prints.
