April-May contest

Sorry for the delays in contest announcements! Let's do our best to get caught up

There are only 2 prizes for June so far. Can anyone help with prizes for June and/or July contests?

Any new members who don't know how our contests work? It's pretty simple. Everyone who made a gift that was received in April or May is automatically entered (a joint contest this time because there weren't so many submissions) - and winners are voted on by you guys!

What to do

1. Visit the April and May gallery folders and take a look at the deviations you like.
   Please also consider the following deviations. I sent a "permission request" for them to be in the gallery - hopefully they should be there by contest end but I don't want them to miss out on votes in the meantime.
   deviation1 deviation2
2. You have five "votes" which you may distribute as you like between any number of deviations across both gallery folders: five votes to one; one vote each to five; two each to two and one to another; three to one and two to another, or whatever.
   (You don't have to use all your votes, but if you don't want to use them all it helps to say that it was deliberate.)
3. Send a note to Artcrossing entitled "VOTE APRIL/MAY" with your list of deviations and the votes, e.g.

   Something by ~someone - 3 votes
   Snowman by =Santa - 1 vote
   Llama by #fella - 1 vote

4. You may vote until July 26th.
5. You can't vote for yourself - although you can of course vote for gifts made for you! Voting is open to all members
