Hi. I am Maria, the owner of the account "officialmaria". As you probably remember, I started holding a fanart contest but after a short time, my account got deactivated.
Actually, it was not me who deactivated, I got banned by an deviantart admin for having 2 accounts. I had a second alternate account and somehow they found out and closed both my alternate account and my main account.
Now I cant do anything with that account. I cant comment/fav/reply to notes and of course cant transfer points. That basically means that all the points I had saved for the contest got stuck on that banned account and now I cant transfer them to the winners.
Given the circumstances, I have no choice but to cancel the contest. I'm really sorry about this, I know you and everyone else worked hard to do their entries but without those points, I dont think I could continue holding the contest. I cant hold a contest if I no longer have the prizes for the winners. Again, sorry for the inconvenience.
