`ArtistsForCharity and deviantART invite you to the winter postcard and mug contest!
`ArtistsForCharity is an account maintained by the senior members of deviantART. Our goal is to sell artwork as prints with all the proceeds going to a selected charity. Both the artist's and deviantART's profits are donated to the charity. The currently supported charity is Habitat for Humanity. A detailed FAQ of `ArtistsForCharity can be
found here.
The theme for the cards is winter and Christmas.
Christmas is a time for giving. This year, we want to give you the chance to send gorgeous postcards and mugs to your friends and family, meanwhile supporting charity with each card.
We invite you, the deviant, to the challenge of creating the postcards and mugs!
You can participate whether you are a photographer, digital or traditional artist, or a poet. Show the world how you can help others by being creative.
There will be winners in each category: literature, photography, digital art and traditional art. The winning entries will be added as prints to `ArtistsForCharity's gallery and sold as postcards and mugs, with the profits going to the selected charity. Each product will include one of the winning entries.
See below for more contest details and guidelines.
