Portfolio Page...Contest!
**UPDATE** The contest is now closed and winners will be announced Monday!
So as many of you may recall, we promised to add a special portfolio page to subscribers accounts? Well, we are working on getting those rolling out but we have come to a stumbling block trying to decide exactly how they should look. And hey, since you guys will be the ones using them we decided you should be the ones who get to choose what they look like. But first…
For those unfamiliar with the concept I shall explain. The portfolio page will be a page that has a space for personal information, contact information, and the ability to place deviations on them of your choosing. The deviations will have no commentary on them, and a description will be optional. You may also pick and choose what deviations go on them. Primarily with things like this you would use it to showcase your strongest work.
The page itself will be username.deviantart.com/portfolio
The point of this page is for you to be able to use it to direct potential employers, outside audiences, schools that need to view artwork, etc to and will be more clean and professional looking. The page will not have ads of any type on it whether the viewer is logged into DA or not.
Think of a Storefront page but a bit more customized and personable and obviously a lot more control as to what images are used and where they are placed.
The main point here is this is a feature for those of you who subscribe to the site to use, and we could easily design it ourselves, but you guys are the ones who will be using it, so why not have someone from the community design it?
Now…the contest…
The Contest!
The contest is quite simple. Submit a mock up of what you feel this page should look like. Use the DA color scheme, come up with a new one, add a logo, layout the page however you wish, and add areas for text and a bio section. Feel free to use thumbnails or shots of your own deviations, provide a description of how you feel it should work or to explain areas etc. The page is yours to do what you want, so consider all the above to be just basic guidelines.
Where to Submit
Submit entries to Community Projects -> Contests -> 2007 -> Portfolio Contest

There once was a woman named Chix0r...
As many of you may have heard, the answer to the question of "who is taking over for you?" has been answered. And that answer comes in the form of a wee Scottish lass named fourteenthstar (https://www.deviantart.com/fourteenthstar) who is known for her bawbag biting and supreme numptyness!
In all seriousness, Fiona is absolutely the best choice for this position, and is more than capable of bringing her own style to it and advancing it into something new and exciting. I never spoke to her till I took over commdev back in 2005 and she was part of the mn@. We got along instantly, despite the fact that I would mess with her all the time and make jokes about her diminutive stature :giggle

The 2008 Bolt Award
2nd Annual Bolt Award
This year, the Second Annual recipient of the illustrious Bolt Award is someone who, like its namesake has somehow magically been a part of deviantART since before there even was a deviantART. Pretty fantastic trick to pull off wouldn't you say? This person is someone some of you may be familiar with in recent months, promoting devWear, running the Holiday Card Project, campaigning to keep her favorite TV shows on the air and many other things.
What you may not be aware of is that in addition to all of that, she is one of the hardest working people you could ever meet. But hard work is not what she is all abou
