Galadriel and Finarfin meet after the War of Wrath,
Aragorn and Arwen playing with their kids,
A conversation between Elrond and Elros,
Aragorn sparring with Glorfindel,
Oropher playing with little Thranduil...
I hope there will be as much participation as last time (though I have to admit, reaching over 30 entries in the middle of the vacation period might be a bit optimistic - I suppose you've been spoiling me so far 
) In any case, it's about having a challenge and not about breaking any participation records, so let's just get it on 
I can't wait to see all your gorgeous entries! 
This contest will go October 14th- December 20th
WELCOME TO THE MAIN INFO PAGE FOR =baark's CELESTIAL PANTHEON ART CONTEST!

Because I want to hold one.
Okay, there isn't going to be too much complication for this, and I hope that a lot of people participate... ^^'
The main purpose of this contest is to award prizes to people for drawing any of my Celestial Pantheon, all of which can be found here: [link] . The afore-mentioned characters can be drawn individually or in couple/groups. Likewise, they can be drawn in either "feral" form and/or their more human-esque form.

CONTEST ENDS:
Why? Because that gives interested people ample time to work on their entries, and ensures I'll have enough to cover funding of the contest.

TO ENTER...
Either post on this journal or note me with a link/thumbnail to your entry deviation (separate comment/notes for each one, if you end up doing more than one image).
---
RULES
1) Art must be, 100%, your own. No using bases.
2) In addition to the above, no. You may not enter art I've already paid/commission/requested of you. That doesn't mean you can't enter if I've commission/requested art of you from the past; your entries just have to be unique for this contest.
3) The following forms of art are allowed at this time: digital, traditional (or combination thereof) or handmade, craft-based.
4) Entries are unlimited.
5) Effort = GOOD. Creativity = GOOD. So, be creative and show effort!

JUDGING:
The main three points I will be judging are based upon:
EFFORT. CREATIVITY. ACCURACY.At this time, I will be the sole judge, mainly because I of all people know how the characters are supposed to be like.
Chances are I will be adding at least one additional, but that is unknown at the moment.

PRIZES:
).Prizes will now be determine/awarded on a tier basis, meaning that as long as I get X amount of entries, that place prize will be awarded!
For the USD option, you must have PayPal, and it will be for USD. No conversion to other currencies.
I will be willing to do variations thereof of the either/or monetary prizes - ie, instead of entirely 4000
/$50USD, you can instead get 2000 + $25USD or any other reasonable division thereof. Premium memberships, however, will be kept as premium memberships - so, no, you can't get the equivalent of points instead.First place:
4000 OR $50USD. 3mo premium membership (3) llama Journal feature and (1) llama, donated by =ChaosFay Journal feature and (1) llama, donated by =ChizuruMiyagiSecond place:
2000 OR $25USD. 3mo premium membership (2) llama Journal feature and (1) llama, donated by =ChaosFay Journal feature and (1) llama, donated by =ChizuruMiyagiThird place:
1000 1mo premium membership (1) llama Journal feature and (1) llama, donated by =ChaosFay Journal feature and (1) llama, donated by =ChizuruMiyagiIf more than 25 entries are received... we shall see. Not there yet.
Though chances are good I'll raise/add prizes to give more people a chance to win something.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
(FAQS)
Do we have to draw all of them or can we pick and choose which one we want to draw.
You are not required to draw all of the characters unless, for some reason, you wanted to! The list is provided so you can go through and choose who you wish to draw, however many or few is up to you! Like stated in original blurb, they can be drawn individually, as couples or even - for the crazy people inspired to do so - groups.
is it possible to offer art prizes?
Unfortunately, at this time, in regards to myself offering them... I have to say no. My inclination to draw is so spastic that I would hate to offer something, only to find myself unable to draw it when the time comes. I just don't want to promise something that I just can't deliver. If anybody else wanted to offer/donate to do something for the winner(s), then maybe. But since I doubt that'd happen and I'm not going to go around bugging friends of mine to offer to draw for my contest... let's just say no.
What am I supposed to draw?

ENTRIES
HERE [link]
When uploading your entries, it would be appreciated if download to full sized images were allowed, if the one on the deviation's page isn't it already.
If you don't feel comfortable allowing download, let me know and I can give you my email to send that way instead.
In the case of entering handmade/craft-related entries, please make certain to take good picture(s) that allow the details/entry in whole to be depicted clearly.
I also ask that, in the case that handmade/craft entries are submitted... even if you do not win anything, please consider letting me pay to have the item (shipped to me)? Or at least ask beforehand if I'd be interested in having it before doing anything else with it? I'd appreciate it, thank you.

DISCLAIMER:
Should something unexpected come up (medical emergency, fired from my job, other horrible stuff like that that takes precedence over everything else...) the contest can be extended or cancelled. I highly doubt this is going to happen, though (I hope..
)If I get absolutely no entries whatsoever within a month or two... then I will cancel the contest.
I'm sorry it's such a disappointmet
