Winter Competition - Voting time!Voting is closed! Thank you all for taking part, submitting and voting. I will officially announce the winners tomorrow =D
So first of all, a massive thank you to everyone who submitted work to the competition.
We have chosen 10 pieces out of the submissions folder which we liked, and have compiled them into this lovely journal. Each piece will have a number assigned to it (nothing complicated, just 1-10), which will be used to identify the piece during voting. I shall explain why later.
So the 10 chosen pieces are...

#1. gigi50  - Frost Trees And Ferns

#2. jxsnyder - Frosty Fence 2

#3. Vera00Eikon - Invierno speedpaint

#4. Titu89 - Lost souls

#5. linneaphoto  - Frosty Winter Morning



Well, I was going to wait until Pure--Nature passed the 100 member barrier, but I decided to forget it and do it now, so you know what that means... COMPETITION TIME!

So before we go any further, I'm guessing you want to know what's up for grabs. Well, here's the prize structure...

So time to get to the competition details. The theme of the competition is...

Winter

The piece can be about anything related to Winter. Snow, Ice, Christmas, anything you want. 

This competition is open to all admins and members of Pure--Nature, CaptureAMomentPhotos, Global-Art-Gallery and GeneralPhotography! (please refer to rule 3 below for more information about eligible entries).

To enter, please submit your works to the "Winter Competition entries" folder in Pure--Nature's Favourites. All eligible entrants should be able to submit to the folder without any problems, but when choosing what to submit, choose carefully, as there is a limit!

Please be aware that entries will need to be accepted by us before they show in the competition folder! This is just to ensure that all entries meet the rules (which can be found below), so please don't resubmit your entries if they don't show up in the folder. If you have any concerns, please send a note to me or the group, and I'll see what I can do.

Rules

1. Nature must play a starring role! But the submission rules will also reflect those of the "In Harmony with Nature" folders (in other words, works which feature Humans, Pets or man-made objects will also be accepted). Any entries which do not feature nature will automatically be disqualified.
2. Choose carefully! Unless there's been an error with the submission system/deviantART, we will not be able to make any adjustments to the folder (add or remove works).
3. You must be a member of Pure--Nature to be able to enter the maximum limit of entries (3 pieces). Members of CaptureAMomentPhotos, Global-Art-Gallery and GeneralPhotography can also enter, but will only be able to submit 1 piece of work.
4. Any stolen works are NOT permitted. If we find out that you have stolen a piece of artwork from a fellow deviant, we will report you!
5. Old works can be used in this competition (this may be necessary for anyone submitting photography), but we would encourage you to create a new piece if possible.
6.  Photography, Traditional Art, Digital Art, Poetry and Prose are all accepted and encouraged.
 
Sorry, I know rules are boring and strict, but without them, things would be chaotic. The submissions will close on the 10th December at 11:59pm (UK time). Me and the other admins will then choose up to 10 of our favourite works, and will create a journal soon after, where you can vote for your favourite. The votes will close on the 23rd December at 11:59pm, and the winners will receive their points on the 25th =D What a wonderful Christmas present. The features will be posted up shortly after.
 
If you have any questions about the competition, please feel free to comment below and we will try to help :)
