Total: 34 entries on the Animal Rights Contest!

(Edit: Check the final results here.)

Ok! Now the deadline for submissions is over (March 15th), and the contest for animal rights I started here two months and a half ago is open for votes (by the members of the Group of Studies on Animal Rights)! I expect to announce the winners just after the next monthly meeting of the group (March 31st).

Anyway, I´m really happy: we got a huge interest and efforts from so nice, talented and skilled people. The great result are 34 entries, that you can see in our folder! Oh, I thank you all soooo much for this! I´m a novice in deviantArt, and I didn´t expect to have so many incredible artworks promoting the cause of animal rights here, because it´s not much recognized yet!

And you know, dear participant: even if your work is not selected, you have already got your prize: you created an art that can be used to show that non-human animals deserve respect, and you´re helping to change the world to a better place to live, one that we can be prouder of.

Countries and kinds of arts

To sum up, the participants are from United States (11), Germany (4), United Kingdom (4), Brazil (3), Canada (2), Austria, Croatia, France, India, Norway, Syria and Ukraine.

There are different kinds of artworks here: drawings and paintings in traditional art (12) or digital art (7), photographs (10), photomanipulations (4) and also a collage.

Prizes

The first prize will be a Premium Membership for one year (or 2.396 dA points); the second prize will get the same for three months (or 636 points) and the third prize will get the Premium Membership for one month (or 396 points).

The winner can also ask me a watercolour comission. And the selected artworks will be printed in larger sizes than others for the 2012 Animal Rights Exhibit here in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I´m thinking about 20 x 30 cm for the first place; whereas 15 x 21 cm and 10 x 15 cm for others, for example.
