It costs just 1 gem to send some appreciation to a photo or artwork that moved you. The badge runs from June 1–30, so there's a whole month to spread the love.

Who DAt? It's KovoWolf!
Have you ever seen a staff or volunteer symbol or ambassador badge and wondered "Who DAt?" Welcome to the interview series that's hittin' DA streets to find out more about these very deviants.
[EMOTE] Featuring a Wild Card question which is selected at random from a pool of questions. If you have a suggested random/fun question to add to the list, please feel free to comment here.

Join DeviantArt's Ambassador program! by moonbeam13, journal
Join DeviantArt's Ambassador program!
DeviantArt is proud to announce a new opportunity for deviants to contribute to the community at a deeper level! The Ambassador program is designed to give deviants a chance to bring artists together, offer ways for artists to hone their skills or try new things, and help shape the future of the community.
Deviants eligible to participate in the Ambassador program are those who are co-founders or top contributors of official DeviantArt groups or affiliated groups. There are many factors that determine whether or not deviants might be a good fit for the Ambassador program, but all potential ambassadors should:
Frequently run or organize community events
Routinely be active participants in their community
Consistently encourage and cheer on other artists
Ambassadors will have direct contact with and support from DeviantArt team members when hosting events and challenges, to help their projects thrive.
