silvermist999 Suggested by coastbeachartist

I wish to nominate Callie for the AWW award. She promotes other artists in her numerous journals. Every one of her features promotes and affects many other artists in a very outstanding way. She has been a DA member for six years this month.

She has published eight DA Wishing Well Features.

She has published eleven Monday Features.

Callie publishes a Struggling and Surviving journal series which promotes mental health, awareness and support. There are four journals in this series.

Callie promotes a Positivity Project as a way to inspire hope around the world. There are seven of these journals.

Callie is an outstanding example of our Angels Without Wings. We are blessed by her selfless volunteering. Her shining Light is truly admirable and an example of the best you can find here.



DeviantArt Tutorial For BeginnersHELLO AND WELCOME TO DEVIANTART!
When I first joined DeviantArt, five years ago, I had no idea what to do with my page or even what DeviantArt was really for. I knew it was an art sharing site, and I posted art, but I had no idea about the wonders of the DeviantArt community that exist if you know where to look. So I decided to share what I've learned over the years!
ART (DEVIATIONS)
First and foremost, DeviantArt is a social media platform designed for artists of all kinds to showcase their art. Whether you're a traditional artist, digital artist, writer, photographer, or any other art media under the moon, there's a spot for you here. Here are some useful things to know:
Submitting Art
 Submitting Your Art: First, hover over the green submit button at the top of the page. It'll bring up a drop down menu to submit a piece of art, write a journal entry, go to your sta.sh, etc. We're talking about uploading a pie

Trippy4U Suggested by MEP4Photography

"Richard is the most supportive, giving and inspiring deviant I know. I never fail to see him leaving comments on deviations seemingly everywhere I look. He's always seen on pages thanking one for each and every fave. He's very supportive to everyone he watches, which are many and include all different types of art. I don't know where he finds the time to do all this, and answer all his own comments also, to the extent many turn into long conversations. You can see he's a real friend; people on DA need that.
His art is a real joy to see pop up. I find myself awaiting his next submission, which are all so inspiring to me. I’ve asked a million questions of him, which he's patiently tried to answer. I know he's helped others with their questions...I've seen it. He's been on DA long enough to know what's important about keeping the community spirit going.
He does wonderful features of other artists of all types, calling them "Meet your neighbor", which is a real asset to promoting this community spirit. He himself is a real asset to DA."

MEP4Photography Suggested BY ChasMandala and Dieffi 

I wish to nominate Maryellen (MEP4Photography) for the AWW award. Following is my testimonial:

"Always thinking of the welfare of others, our friend Maryellen is a true loving soul. I, and so many of us, have known her to be a kind, caring and giving artist - whether it's help on a project, good advice on her specialty of photography, or just being that understanding, loving human being who always has time to listen to you... It is in the spirit of selflessness that true angels are made - and often times their virtuous deeds go unnoticed.
She works hand-in-hand with Jenny and Inayat as an admin for the group JennyStokes-Favs, seeking to present to us the works of a wide variety of artists ~ helping them to get noticed, and giving them gracious encouragement. I am very proud and honored to have Maryellen as a friend, a teacher, and above all, an inspiration."

From Dieffi : "I suggest for the AWW award. Her history here on DA is very long, and I think all people that know her can understand and reassure that she is a really kind friend and a very good candidate for this award!
She is a lovely and active friend, creates a lot of features and supports AWW as a Gangsta of Love."



Just a whisper in the wind...I'm just a whisper in the wind
a voice that has no meaning
hear me or not
I'm here and then gone...
