What do “Ancient Realms” mean to you: the return to a nostalgic and simpler time, the horror of the dark ages, the power of lost empires, the marvels and mysteries of a world that’s now lost to us and only dimly understood, the exact science that helps us reconstruct the lives of our ancestors, their technology and their knowledge?

Capture a period in history or pre-history that fascinates you like no other and share through your art what attracts you to it: a historical character, the art of a lost people, a way of life separated from our modern technology? I look forward to seeing what we can all come up with to bring past eons back to life in our art.

Contest Rules

1. All visual media are accepted, including photography, digital and traditional art as well as objects such as sculptures, jewelry, books or textile art. I am sorry to exclude written art. It is just too hard to judge the merits of a poem or story against a drawing.

2. The contest is open as of now and will run till August 31st, which I hope will give everyone ample time for ideas and work.

3. All submissions have to be created after the date of the contest opening, May 13th, and have to be made specifically for the contest. Please reference the contest as you publish your work on DA, then note me with the link so I can add the work to the list of contest submissions.

4. Every contestant can submit up to 3 works for the competition.

5. If you are a judge, you cannot submit work yourself.

6. There will be three winners announced for the contest: 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize. I also reserve the right to select some “honorable mentions” if we have more outstanding art than we have prizes.

Judges

:iconellygator: :iconnadezhdavasile:

1. We still need more judges! If you would like to serve as a judge for this contest, please note me.

2. If you are serving as judge, it would be kind to offer some prizes. It does not have to be anything costly or fancy. Even the offer to feature the winner(s) in your journal is much appreciated!

3. Remember, if you volunteer as a judge, you will be a little busy at the beginning of September, and you cannot submit art to the contest yourself.

Prizes

1. I will add to the list of prizes as judges let me know about their offers.

2. For now I am offering the following prizes:

1st prize:
A choice between a HP Tarot deck or a beaded wing bracelet
A 6 months paid DA membership
A feature in my journal
A feature by NadezhdaVasile

2nd prize:
A choice between a HP Tarot deck or a beaded wing bracelet
A feature in my journal
A feature by NadezhdaVasile

3rd prize:
A feature in my journal
A feature by NadezhdaVasile

I am considering this. =D
Though nothing really sparked my fancy as yet.
Not to mention the competition is discouraging. Too good. :p

Very cool! Seems like Egypt is a big inspiration at the moment... Something else would be cool!
