What You Need To Do
We have selected 10 images out of the environments folder. What you need to do is choose one of the images and write a description for that environment. Feel free to set it in your own world or create a new one.
When writing the description you should consider questions such as:
What is this place? Who lives here? What is its purpose? Does it have a history or a special significance for someone or something?
Once you have finished the description upload it to your DA profile and then submit the piece to the “Competition 2013” folder in the WBGuild. Submissions should be “literature”
Note: This is not a novel or short story competition. Please see our Writers Corner for examples of acceptable description submissions. If you are in doubt then please send me an email or comment below and I will be happy to explain further.
The Images To Choose From
These are the images you need to choose from when selecting the inspiration for your environment. All of the artists have kindly granted us permission to use their images for this competition; however you will need to provide credit to the artist.
Providing Credit To The Artist
When you upload your submission to our DA profile please include a link in the description back to the image you’ve used for inspiration. This will help us to judge the entries and also give the artists the credit they deserve.
Who Can Enter The Competition?
The competition is free to enter though you need to be a member of The World Builders Guild. This is easy to do - either log into your DeviantART profile or create an account and then visit the WBGuild page and click “Join”. You will then be free to submit artwork to the group.
Deadline
You have until the 30th April 2013. Judging will then take place in the month of May with the winner announced shortly after depending on how many submissions we get.
Isn't that interesting? It is! So join the contest and write write write!
