This is the journal for all important updates!

Oct. 20, 2015 -----------------------
R2 has begun!
Congratulations to the winners of R1, Reotus and xin!
Take a look at all the new updates and R2 information here: youtu.be/K10JCp38BTo

Oct. 8, 2015--------------------------
R1 has ended! A few things to note:
-There were only 27 entries out of 60, so a little redistribution of population will take place. The 2 group B's will be regrouped for the purpose of determining round prizes, so there will only be two winners instead of three this round!
-For those of you who missed the deadline, you will be removed from the contest roster UNLESS you contact us somehow (anywhere is fine) within the next 72 hours to keep your current spot. Otherwise, your spot will be given to the next person on the waitlist.
-You can join the waitlist any time! The form for that is here: tinyurl.com/artEvoWait. There is no confirmation when you do register, but if you get accepted into a round, you will hear back from us!
-Results and R2 info will be out in about a week!
**EDIT 9/18***
Please remember that we will not be personally messaging you to remind you when a new round opens or closes. Failure to complete a round without prior notice to any judge will result in being removed from the contest roster!

***End edit***

1) Please respect the administrators and your mentors!
2) Please be a good sport! Rudeness will not be tolerated. A two-time warning system will be in effect.

Q: I missed the opening registration! Can I still join?
But of course! Anyone can join in at any time. However, those who do will not be able to win the grand prize!

Q: I don’t have a Twitter/Facebook/etc., can I still join?
Yes! Anyone from anywhere can join! Even if you’re from pixiv or instagram or nowhere at all! Our registration and submissions go through Google Forms, and require no sign-ins. But be sure to follow us for updates!

Q: My art is not good enough. Do I still have a shot?
Definitely. We’re not judging based on technique or skill but rather effort, creativity, and overall improvement, so if you work hard, you definitely have a shot!

Q: Can I join/quit in the middle of a round?
Yes, anyone can join at any time. However, you may not participate in a round if you signed up during it. Sign-ups for a round will last up until the beginning of that round.

Q: Wait, does this mean that I have to re-register for every round?
Nope! One registration lasts you until the end of the competition, or until you choose to drop out.

Q: I joined after a round! Can I be placed in a division?
Sorry, division placement is reserved only for those who see the entire competition through. Don’t worry, you’re not missing much.

Q: How do I watermark something?
There are many different ways, but there’s also this nifty online watermarking site that does it pretty nicely! For more options, ask a staff artist for help.

Q: Can I submit a collaboration with other participants?
Sorry, only solo works allowed. Otherwise judging would get really difficult!

Q: When I registered*, I was asked what areas I wanted to improve on. Can I change that later?
Unfortunately, no. Learning to finish what you start is also important!

Q: Is there a grace period per round?
No. The purpose is to improve yourself, and that means meeting deadlines too! No extensions, no exceptions.

Welcome to the first cross-platform art improvement contest,
Artist Evolution Competition - artEvo!

This is our official deviantArt page for the contest. We will be primarily be using it as an archive for our beautiful entries, as well as a place for our participants and/or fans to socialize! We will be accepting any and all artwork from only our participants to display, not just round entries!

Artists of all calibre from all over the internet are invited to join us in learning how to self-improve, and to network and have fun in doing what we love to do.

artEvo consists of four themed rounds lasting one month each, with each round followed by a week of judging. Thus, the entire contest will last a total of five months.

Unlike many other multi-round competitions, we will not be eliminating participants after each round. You may even join or quit between rounds*. After all, we are here to assess your improvement over time! That said, everyone has an equal chance of winning, no matter what their skill level is currently at. Our judges will work hard to give you the best possible critique at the end of the month!

There will be MANY winners: 3 theme winners per round, and 3 overall winners. Round winners will be determined based on creativity, and overall winners on their change in skill and technique. Prizes will be pizza or cookies for the round winners, and monetary and art prizes for the overall improvement winners. Artists MAY win multiple prizes!

Register to join the fun now!
