Excited 
Thanks to everyone who came out and helped me pick this summer’s contest theme with their vote. It was a close race between the top contenders: “Ancient Realms”, “Everyday Magic”, and “Watchers and Guardians”. However, in the end with 100 votes exactly “Ancient Realms” won, so this will be our theme this year.
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 closed as of now.
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
1. 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.

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