Hey!
Welcome to "Stuff You Need To Know" #54! This journal covers what's up on our current challenge, the upcoming contest, and a pimp for an affiliate's challenge.


First, due to the result of the recent poll, the
"Beautiful Women" challenge will be extended. I think one more week should do it, so the new due date is 10:00 a.m. CST, on
Sunday, May 26th. Please, please, please, please participate so that we can have a real competition. Okay?

If you have not started on an entry, you can find the information here:
[link]This also means that we will
not have another challenge before the new contest. This will give us a nice little break.


Next, the new contest is called
"Seasons" and it will be a background contest. Meaning, I'll give you backgrounds for the 4 seasons, and you will select one to complete the scene, add an appropriate model and more objects, then submit as an entry to the contest. I hope you'll like the contest to, not only challenge yourself, but also to try for the prizes!

Now it's my time to beg for prizes! Even though the contest will begin at the end of the month, I want to have the prizes set up early. That way I can announce the prizes at the same time with the details of the contest.

I'll contact our stock affiliates to beg for stock prizes. They've come through for us in the past, and I'm sure they will again.
:bulleblack:: I'm also asking
you to
donate points that can be used towards the three place winners in each level. I really appreciate what ever you can give.
Points are one of the easiest way to add to the prize pool. You can add points to the donation widget on =
thefantasim (mine) home page.
And I strongly suggest that you donate "anonymously" so that the donation will show up in my message center, but your name will not show in the donation widget.
You can also donate non-monetary prizes, like:

a personalized deviation that can be emailed

a personalized craft item that can be mailed

a personal stamp

a personal CSS design

a personal wallpaper that you can emailed

a home page feature

Not all of your donations have to go to all of the winners. If you want to donate only to one level, like to the first place winners, please let me know when you donate your points.

Anything else that you can think of to donate, let me know.
Comment to this journal, send a note to the group, or a note to my art account, if you would like to donate something that can be added to the prize pool.
Lastly, our moderator *
Reddawgi's group, #
Castle-of-Cards, current challenge is called
"Griffin And Sabine Revisited". It runs through July 1st, and you can get the information for this interesting challenge on the group's home page. You can also find information about the story of
"Griffin and Sabine" on the web to help you with your idea to illustrate the story : )
