The new "Contest" folder is now "Tree-motes"! I used to do most of my Summer reading near the top of a tall Maple when I was a kid! Perhaps you have a favorite tree, or dream of a tree house you've always wanted. Maybe a tree was a character in a story you loved?
Here are the rules:
Must be a new deviation
Must have something to do with a tree or trees
Static or animated accepted
Must have at least one emote
Entry must be submitted by midnight 31 May (0400 GMT June 1st)
Tip: Emotes are representations of emotion, so try to evoke something (happiness, joy, sadness, etc.) from your viewer using the tree as a prop.
