Let's have a look at this week's contests!

Devour Your Gods

Greek gods and goddesses are constantly appealing for people to discover. The Disney film Hercules is a good example of a film that has drawn from the Greek mythology and crafted an art piece that is adored by its fans. So why not have a contest that features Greek mythology?

There's no limitations on how their story can be recreated, so users have complete artist license to really push the boundaries and make their chosen god or goddess into their own creation.

Look At This Photograph

Choosing a picture and getting inspired over it is a contest idea that is widely used, but that doesn't mean users get bored of them. In fact, most enjoy the variety of photos that are generally offered in each contest and let's not forget that any inspiration that is given to write, many will be grateful for. So Look At This Photograph is a contest that should be just up anyone's alley!

Sesshomaru.'s contest is one that means users have to feel somewhat inspired by one of the pictures listed otherwise they mostly likely won't join, but that's always been the case with picture prompt contests and it's never deterred users from joining in the past. There's no stipulations when it comes to what an entry can be about and the length can be of the author's desire, meaning those who feel they can never write a lengthy piece would be able to enter this contest with ease. So really, all participants have to do is get inspiration from the picture of their choice and write anything that they dreamed up from it. It really is that simple!
