September Winner!
Halloween Contest Folder is now CLOSED! Judging will begin today.
Thank you for all the wonderful entries, when I have the winners I shall post a news article of them all. Assuming news articles still exist because my person journals have gone strange today and the news article is now listed as one of them *shrug* I also cannot edit my personal journals so that will be fun, I hope they plan to fix that or I will have to rewrite my Art To do List
REMEMBER if you want to enter the October challenge you must credit the stock properly. Its not hard, I have provided a How To, you can find this on our front page below the current journal. You must also notify the stock provider by sending a link to your picture. Often they have a rule for how they want to receive that, please check their rules.
Also remember that I check the rules of the stock images I choose, there should be nothing to catch you out like non-commercial use or no offsite use, if you use other stock aswell you must check that provider's own rules yourself. I'm only looking after the stock I pick, if you break someone else's rules thats your problem to solve.
This is a suprise, had a clear leader for days and then I woke up this morning and it was a different picture!
