CLOSING DATE: 20th March 2012

After a month or more of planning, umming, ahhing, scribbling, trashing, poking, rebelling and some voting. artifex.justgoo is proud to present to you very first artifex.justgoo Signature of the Month Competition! This competition will run in some ways similar to its predecessor on AGE forums (Shaiya) in relation to rules and structure but we are hoping to develop this as a competition for members to exercise their skills in a fun and friendly competition and have the chance to win some prizes too =)

Members are invited to submit pieces based on these month's theme "Colour Splash", submissions must meet our signature of the month rules and conditions (shown at the bottom of this post). Submissions will then be judged by our panel of judges who this month will be (ZekiKins, prince1999 & KVerity ). The Winner of this month's competition will not only have the pleasure of hosting next month's competition and choosing a theme but will recieve a SOTM Winner Award and be immortalised in our SOTM Winner Gallery.

Award:

Have fun, enjoy and stay creative!





Colour Splash is when you create/or edit a piece in a way so that only a particular colour is hued, the rest are taken back (desaturated) to grey scale. Intensifying not only the chosen colour but the object/subject coloured.

(This months theme was selected by the Modi Council, with monthly themes to follow to be chosen by the SOTM Winner.)
