Rosting from the Werelist

citrakayahThe Great Werelist Art and Writing Contest of Fall 2014, which lasts from the fall equinox to the winter solstice, is now officially started. The rules are simple: You submit a piece of writing or art, and a the end of the contest period, it gets voted upon, earning you a nifty prize (we do not currently have prizes officially lined up, but we had at least one person offer to do prizes for the short contest done previously, so we should be able to officially put up prizes soon).
The theme for this contest is the way we relate to our theriotype's species. These should, preferably, not be personal essays like the ones on Project Shift or Animal Quills. While those are an important form of literature in the therian community, this contest is not designed for them.
Entries are split into two parts: visual and literary. Visual art covers anything visual, whether sculpture, masks, drawing, glassworking, or carving. Literary covers poetry and other creative writing. At the end of the period, we will have a two week voting phase conducted via anonymous poll (though if you wish, you’re welcome to state your reason for favoring a particular piece), after which the top three entries in each category will be officially acknowledged.
Entries may either be hosted offsite and linked to, or posted in their own topic (or as part of a topic you’ve made a while back for your art/writing). If you are hosting your entry offsite, to make sure we see it PM the url to either myself or Mobius. If it's put in a topic here, either PM myself or Mobius a link to the post, or add the tag “fall-2014-contest” to the topic.
Entries must be original and created during the period of this contest, though they don’t have to be done specifically for this contest (if you drew something which qualifies for some other reason, you are welcome to submit it).
This may be reposted or linked to on other sites (LiveJournal, Dreamwidth, et cetera) to gain traffic.

Date: 2014-09-30 05:22 pm (UTC)Like I do even more vague abstract, but here's a dragon I did some years ago: http://jackobian.deviantart.com/art/Lived-by-the-Sea-208725333
That's what I mean. :) I also carve, knit, crochet, sew, and other things I don't want to call. Sculpture but like... clothing/jewelery bits (not just beads, animal parts too!) Or like I made this staff for Wiccan ritual work and it has carving, beadwork, ribbon wrapping, feathers, etc. etc.
I also do photography, photomanip, digital painting, etc. though the laptop's on the fritz so might not be able to do that one for a while. :)
Oh and by knitting/crochet I can actually design my own patterns too. Like, I doubt I'd be able to do this, but I had an image in my head of a photo of me in a shawl I knit to be 'crow feathers' and then a photo or someone in another shawl I knit to be 'magpie feathers' and some artsy photo implying I think of magpies as my brothers/sisters/siblings.
Sometimes I do poetry, though. Heh.

The mask idea is interesting. I haven't tried one yet but I've wanted to start!
