Monthly Challenge : February

Hello teacups and trinkets!

I know it's not February yet...but I just couldn't wait.  
Anyway, February is a shorter month, so we should show it some love, yeah?  Yeah!

So!  Beginning with February, I will be restarting my monthly mini challenge/contests.  I used to have these many years ago, or something similar, but then I got swallowed by the abyss of college and, well...  But regardless, I'll be holding these for as long as possible, so this is what happens:

Each month I will have a number of stock photos for you to play with.  Each prior month, I'll hold a poll so you can all have at least one photo chosen by you guys.  With these given stock photos you can use one of them, a few, all, and combine them however you wish.  And you can make however many entry pieces you'd like and in any medium --digital, traditional, even literature (curious so see how that would happen...)-- as long as I can tell it's clearly based off the photos you were given.  Oh, and the entries must be made after the beginning of each month (ie. after my journal announcement for each monthly challenge) and they are due before the end of that month.

Thus!

Monthly Challenge of February

 Maximum Entries: unlimited for all!
 Medium: anything you choose!  (digital, traditional... literature, etc.  as long as I can clearly tell it uses/is based off of the given challenge stock photos)
 Deadline: February 28, 2013 | 11:59 PM  (23:59)  EDT  
(entries must be , submitted after January 26, 2013)
 Prizes:  a 1-month dA premium membership & 5 exclusive stock photos from me  :}
 Challenge Stock Photos:

Aaaand I think that's it for now... Oh!  I had a poll recently and some of you expressed interest in donating prizes!  If those individuals are still interested, I'd like to keep the prizes mostly consistent throughout the challenges, so if you'd like to donate 1-month dA memberships and/or exclusive stock photos (or maybe an equivalent in dA points?  I forgot that's a new feature) please leave a comment below or drop me a note; it would be greatly appreciated!

With that, have at it, you lovely custard tarts!
(I hope you guys are as excited about this as I am... )


Yours strangely,
