If we were to have more Art, good ol' fashioned art, no photoshop or anything, contests, how would you like them to be run?

Have a theme? Create work off of a quote?

Shoot out some ideas!

Those sound good so far. Maybe ask for specific mediums or something as well.

Work inspired by a quote would be really neat to see. It will definitely show a very creative side to the artists here, and it would be interesting to see how they interpret the quote.

Oooh, a quote! That sounds awesome. I'm just worried that, with the current art contests that don't get very many submissions and there are no restrictions there.....then again, maybe a theme will encourage submissions...

I'm going in circles.

But yes, QUOTE!

...I'm not too sure about a medium restriction. Because, for example, I rock with just pencil, but then again I suck at watercolors. So, by doing the medium restriction, I feel like i'm kind of restricting peoples creativity.


I'm glad people like the quote idea. Yayy. Now I need to find..like..some really profound and artistic quotes.


Kaycciiiiiiii- Maybe a quote with a theme! :O

off a quote

Well, if you plan on making more contests, I meant that maybe there should be different medium contests as well. Or even black/white theme vs. color theme.

I thought it would be a cool idea to have one of those elimination contests kind of like CBNTM where everyone votes.

quote has more meaning.

The contest would be a great idea but I don't have a scanner I like the quote idea too.

i'm not sure if that's what you're looking for, though.

Yes, yes, I love that idea but we need a good number of dedicated people who have time and are committed.

Yeah, I've been planning on doing this sort of thing for a while now (as well as with the photography contest), so I guess I should probably try getting it up and running sometime soon since cB actually seems to be catching up on its activity.

Man...

Doing art takes a long time.


:( Haha, we better have plenty of time for these contests!

Hey Jesus, wanna get together and organize a contest?

I like the idea of using quotes. I would defanitely participate in this. Start one!

I want to help organize! I have a good crop of quotes saved!

^ Word up to that.

The quote idea seems like a good one.

For another theme, I'd say memories of the artists life or childhood. Then the artist could caption it with the memory they chose.
