You can now promote your Premium Galleries with banners on your deviations and Profile! Premium Galleries are a simple way for artists to sell multiple exclusive artworks at once through a one-time purchase. For deviants that currently offer Premium Galleries for sale or want to in the future, you can highlight your Premium Galleries with special banners that will display on your deviations and Profile. These banners are a useful tool to promote your works for sale and give you more opportunity to be seen by potential buyers! Banner Locations Similar to banners for Subscriptions and Commissions, you can use this feature to promote Premium Galleries in four distinct places. Two banners can be added on your deviations, one beneath your artwork and one in the sidebar. On your Profile, a banner can be included above your cover art. When deviants browsing on desktop hover over your username or avatar, a banner can be added in the preview that displays there. How to Enable

The Deviousness Award is given to one deviant each month in recognition of their exemplary contributions to DeviantArt and its community, and it's been a long-standing tradition since DeviantArt’s early years. @Pajunen is the recipient of March 2023’s Deviousness Award, so please join us in congratulating him! @Pajunen’s involvement on DeviantArt spans 17 years and countless contributions to the photography community. His photos are instantly recognizable and consistently some of the most popular works on DeviantArt at any given time. In addition to his own artistic endeavors, he's perpetually active in the community, leaving dozens of comments and thoughtful replies almost daily. It is our pleasure to name @Pajunen the recipient of the Deviousness Award for March 2023! Hello, everyone! My name is Tomi Pajunen, and I live in Helsinki, Finland.

Artists in the community are always ready to show off their artistic skills. This is a list of past contests and challenges.

In response to community requests, the Hype badge, which boosts deviations to a larger audience on Browse, is now a permanent feature on DeviantArt! More people seeing art often leads to more comments and favorites, which can encourage an artist and really brighten their day. How the Hype Badge Works Deviations that receive a Hype badge will be boosted to more people’s Home pages for two days! Hype badges can be granted for 100 fragments, and the deviant who receives it will also get 10 fragments. You can only award a Hype badge to a deviation once. While posts and comments can be given a Hype badge, they won't receive any boosting effect. The Hype badge is replacing the Emerald badge, which cost the same amount of fragments to grant. Start boosting deviations! Need fragments to get your Hype on? Upgrade to Core to get fragments each week!
