The Themes: This contest is under two themes. The first is ‘Lost Things’, and you can do anything to do with that theme- lost friends, lost items of value, lost love, lost lives, lost memories- whatever! The second theme is that of 'Freedom', so anything that can be connected with freedom is welcome!

The Mediums: All forms of art are allowed.

The Rules:
- You can only send in two entries per theme. If you would like to swap one entry for another, in the note, tell me what it is you’re replacing or removing.
- When submitting an entry, please put the title as ‘Freedom-Lost Contest Entry’ and in the note, please put a link to the deviation and say which theme it is for.
- In the artist’s comments section, please state that it is an entry for this contest and include a link to either the news article or the official journal.
- If your planned entry has mature content, you must first consult with *chislarina to see if it is acceptable as an entry. But no nudity will be allowed.
- Judges can enter, but if they do, they can only judge the theme that they did not enter (they can’t enter in both themes)
- We hold the right to cancel the contest or remove some of the prizes if there are too few entries.

The Deadline: The entries will be accepted from the 24th of November till the 12th of January. If people would prefer to see the deadline extended, feel free to note me with an extension request. If enough people request a longer timeframe, the deadline will be extended.

The Prizes:

All entrants will receive a one or two deviation feature in my journal and a news article.

Third Prize:
- Two more deviations included in the ‘all entrants’ feature
- A literature commission from *chislarina
- A two week feature in *chislarina’s and =julietcaesar’s journal

Second Prize:
- Three more deviations included in the ‘all entrants’ feature
- A literature commission from *chislarina and =julietcaesar

First Prize:
- Five more deviations included in the ‘all entrants’ feature
- A literature commissions from *chislarina and =julietcaesar
- Any medium commission from *chislarina
- A month long feature in *chislarina’s and =julietcaesar’s journal

Prizes will be updated constantly in the official journal, and any prize donations would be greatly appreciated. Just note me with ‘Freedom-Lost Contest Prize’ as the title, and what you would like to contribute, and I will add it to the list. Please be specific, however.

Please keep in mind that if you enter two deviations into both categories, you will only be featured by one of the entries.

Also, if there are enough entries in both categories, each category will be judged separately with separate prize lists.

The Judges: At the moment, it is just me as a judge. If there are enough entries, will also judge, and I am also welcoming volunteers to judge. I will notify all volunteers whether they will be needed or not. Please do not pester any of the known judges. It will not help you.

Extra Info:

If you have any questions regarding the contest that have not been covered in the rules above, please note me or comment on the contest journal.

* DO NOT POST A COMMENT TO SUBMIT AN ENTRY * the links to your entries need to be sent in a note so I can keep track of them.

Please favourite the news article, it will help spread the word, and enhance the chances of everyone who enters. Also, if you want to promote this contest, feel free! If you promote it, you may get an extra feature at the end

I hope to see many people entering this contest, because the more entries the better it is for everyone! Get creating!
