Sta.sh
Keep up the great work guys and gals. Please remember that you need to leave a link to every deviation you suggest in this journa
Entries must be NEW i.e created on or after 1st January 2013
And it begins!
VOTING IS NOW OPEN!
Calling all superheroes -- there's a crisis afoot! The world's supply of tangerines is dangerously low, and we need a superhero to come and save us. That's where you come in! 
I have paired up with the wonderful *PhaeOBrien to make this an epic event!
THEME
The theme of this contest is "Finding warmth in the cold"
This is left to your interpretation, it can be literal, metaphorical, as deep, subtle or as obvious as you want to make it! However, I would like to say that this is NOT a Christmas contest. While it is seasonal, in the worlds that these characters live in, there is no Christ, and therefore no Christians and no Christmas.
THE CATCH
Your entry must include at least one of my OR *PhaeOBrien's characters listed below. We strongly encourage you to include your own original characters, although you will not be disqualified if you choose not to. If you do not have an existing OC that would fit, and would like to create one for this occasion, that would also be fine too!
CHARACTERS
(more links and info are available from the character sheets, and if you have any questions feel free to ask me or *PhaeOBrien!
IMPORTANT INFO
Literature and Visual Art entries are both accepted, but will be judged and awarded prizes separately so that pictures aren't given an unfair advantage over words!
Sorry but photography, photo-manipulations, and interpretative dance will not be accepted in this contest. However any kind of digital and/or traditional painting/drawing, 3d art, and literature are encouraged!
Entries must be new deviations made for this contest! Include in your artist comments that it is for this contest, please.
When you're finished send *PhaeOBrien and/or myself a note with your entry, so that we may collect them and display them in our journals as they come in.
You are free to romantically pair our characters with each other's or with your own characters, but I beg of you, whatever you do, do NOT pair Azyriel with Thalion romantically. She's his mother, and that's just wrong on so many levels!
Mature content is fine, just use good judgement and be tasteful, I have faith in all of you to know the difference between sexy and skanky
Entries will be judged based on creativity, incorporation of the theme, impact of the work, and technical skill. So do your best, but don't be discouraged if you're a beginner!
Deadline is January 2nd 2013 THE PART YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR... PRIZES!

NEW A group has just been formed: 
will hold all the contest entries, and will be the future home for our characters and any of your characters that befriend them. Feel free to join if it pleases you, but keep in mind that it's a work in progress! 
Mortified 
I've been neglecting this journal a bit, I've got to update it to match the group one, but we extended the deadline, and more prizes were added. So, if you find the time, great! We'll be showering the winners with goodies at very beginning of February.
Also, if you're low on prizes to offer, see if you qualify for our Winner's Package. It supplies a journal feature, exclusive admittance into our gallery, and a llama from the staff of ACG if you meet the requirements and send in your contest results at the end of your contest. Please see our FAQ for all the details.
Note us if the deadline changes, or if you would like another contest featured.
Perhaps join the group to get updates on the happenings at ACG. We feature hundreds of contests that offer many different prizes, so there is something for everyone's skills.
I hope your contest is a success!
