Vintage Christmas postcard Ends today

Journal Entry: Mon Dec 31, 2007, 10:49 AM


All entries must be in before Midnight tonight (PST) I'll be going through and setting up judging tomorrow night. Thank you everyone who entered, we have an awesome selection.


---------------------------------
Something that is Vintage is "Characterized by excellence, maturity, and enduring appeal; classic.". So for this contest you are to create an old, classic style Christmas postcard that is brimming with holiday spirit! This is not a contest for a grinch or a scrooge, this is a contest for those true young at heart that is filled with the holiday spirit, and keeps it all the year! This is a contest for people who love the rosy cheeked santas, ribbons and candles on Christmas trees.

You don't have to have Santa, reindeer, Christmas trees, or any of the obvious Christmas images if you don't want (you can though), but the image must:

1. look vintage

2. be full of that Christmas feeling

You of course can use references, in fact I encourage you to google "vintage Christmas" and get some inspiration and ideas, but your final image needs to be original, drawn and coloured by you.

Gallery: All Digital and traditional visual art (drawings)

Start Date: November 15th 2007

End Date: December 31, 2007 (11:59pm PST)

1. Must conform to Deviantarts TOS and Submission Policies as well as prints TOS and submission policies

2. Needs to be a drawing/painting using digital or traditional tools.

3. Postcard must be in Postcard dimensions
FAQ #132: What are the minimum image sizes for each product?
