CONTEST

Sat Apr 4, 2009, 4:54 PM
Contest: Create your own version of a tarot card. It does not have to be an update of the classic tarot card- you can totally make a different card, as long as it somehow transmits what the card means. (So you probably want to look the cards up.) You do not have to use my stock. Entries can be traditional or digital. Literature not accepted (unless you can give me a compelling explaination of how you could complete the challenge with lit.)

IMPOTANT RULE UPDATE:
In your artist's description, include:
A link to the contest
A description of the card you're doing (the traditional meaning)
A description of your card, the symbolism in it, how you've interpreted the original card, etc.
Cards created before April 4th will be accepted but will be in their own category.

Categories:
Minor Arcana (3 entries allowed per person)
Major Arcana (3 entries allowed per person)
Check out the wikipedia article on tarot cards to get more of an understanding.

If enough people enter we might add suits as categories.

Prizes: 1st prize (in each category)

Major Update: Contest Deadline:
Winners will be announced on June 1st unless there are not enough at that point to judge.

Please give it a shot!

One of my watchers recommended I enter this contest since I've been working on a tarot deck; I will submit something assuming I can get some new art finished around my finals.

here are my major arcana submissions:
[the world][temperance][the wheel of fortune]

unfortunately, i haven't got my minors started yet, so i guess that's it for me.

descriptions of the cards are in the artist comments one each one. i will edit the descriptions to show they've been submitted to the contest as well.

Hmmm... I've never entered a contest on DA before but perhaps I will as it was suggest to me by another deviant. I've been reading tarot cards for a long time now (what is it now? 10 or so years? sheeesh I'm getting old). I started my own deck some time ago which I call the Dreamscar Tarot, intended to be completed and then printed for personal use.

So far I have completed The Fool, The Magician, The HighPriestess, Death, and Princess of Swords.

If I enter perhaps I will with Fool or Death? Help! I am a contest newb :P

:iconskeevy:
Sure, I'll make up some tarot cards for this contest! I'll note you when they're complete. Since it doesn't look like we're signing up for any particular cards, I'll just do my faves?

:iconfatgirlstock:
Great! I'm excited to see them! You can choose whichever card you like. There are two separate parts to the contest- minor and major arcana.
:iconfatgirlstock:
Woah! Thanks so much for entering. It's wonderful.
