Contest Rules

Three or More People - Drawings and Paintings ONLY We want to see your traditionally created paintings and drawings with 3 or more human beings as the main focus. Can there be animals in it too? Sure, as long as 3 or more people are the main focus. The top three vote getters will be lavished with top billing on the group home page for one month. I won't even require that you join the group (though it might be nice)!

Please, PLEASE read the rules! I'll know if you don't because you'll submit something that doesn't fit and that will make you appear to be of sub-average intelligence. You don't want that, believe me...

Rules:
1. Just as the name of the group suggests, this contest is strictly for art created in a TRADITIONAL manner, ie, a painting done with pigment and brushes, a drawing done using pencils, pens, markers, etc.... absolutely no photography or anything digitally created or manipulated. (If you used some computer program in any way to create your piece this is not your contest). Of course, you had to use a camera to photograph your piece and that doesn't count as taboo for our purposes. I promise I will delete any entries that do not fit the criteria! You all know what Traditional means, so lets not try to sneak anything else in. It will make me VERY cross. And I DO check each and every entry.

2. Entries limited to one image each.

3. I can't stand next to you at your computer or other techno device and insure that you aren't soliciting votes, but seriously, what does it prove if you can get all of your friends to vote for you? If I suspect it's happening (an unusually obscene number of votes is a dead giveaway), I'll be disappointed in you. Really, really disappointed. Let your work stand on its own merit, OK? Also, if you're doing your vote solicitation via Fine Art America someone WILL rat you out. Every time.

4. I'm all about the 1st Amendment, but let's assume there are kids, or your boss, or your grandmother, looking over your shoulder at the art that you've entered. Anything that I think would throw Aunt Gertie into cardiac arrest or make my cat blush will be deleted. This means, kiddies, if you are submitting a nude, make it a tasteful (as opposed to 'tasty') nude.

Clarification: 'Tasteful' nudes are something you would see in a freshman figure drawing class. 'Tasty' nudes... something you might see in the wee hours of the morning on one of those 'On Demand' channels for $15.99 a view (not that I know anything about such things). People depicted in an explicit, sexual situation should not be submitted, no matter how well portrayed or adorable, and I will delete them faster than you can say 'Mapplethorpe'.

I WILL be entering one of my own pieces. I am only entering for exposure of my work. If it places in the top three I will disqualify myself.

I can't think of anything else, so ... let's do this! Have fun and let's all see what you've got!
