I'm having my first contest.
So, here are the details!

Topic: TREES
Any medium will be accepted. I want to see some stunning creations revolving around trees. Make me speechless.

The main focus of your entry MUST be the tree(s).
Both old and new deviations will be accepted.
No entries submitted after January 10, 2009 (11:59pm Eastern) will be accepted. (Sorry, I'm too excited to wait any longer. )
Note me with your entry.
Only one entry per person. But you can send me an entry and then later decide to change it if you want.

I'm still working on getting the prizes together, but here's what we have so far:

**I'M STILL TRYING TO ORGANIZE THE PRIZES, SO IF YOU CAN OFFER ANYTHING, ANYTHING AT ALL, PLEASE NOTE ME. I'LL APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH. (IF YOU OFFER A PRIZE, YOU GET THE OPTION OF BEING A JUDGE)**

I'm going to put all the entries into a journal. After that, the judges will narrow them down to a top TEN. Then, everyone else gets to vote on the winner.

I'm planning on putting this into a news entry, but I want to get everything organized first.

I hope I get a lot of entries.

Update:
WOW. I never thought I'd get so many entries. But almost immediately I put the contest up, I started getting entries. And today I came home and there were 57 more entries.
I actually thought it would be pretty easy to pick my top entries, but now I don't know . . .
