You asked for it, so here we go! FanArtPollooza 2011!
If you’re new to the Dreamer community and have never experienced one of our blow out fan art contests, get ready! This is not your ordinary contest. And don’t expect to see ordinary entries! The competition will be steep! But there can only be one winner!
To celebrate the release of the brand new Dreamer book, this year’s theme is “Graphic Novel 2.” So all entries have to be inspired by events that occur in issues #7 – 12.
For the full rules, read on…
The Rules: You have 1 month. All submissions must be sent to me by January 31st. The winner will be announced the following Friday!
This is not a fan art contest limited to people who can draw. You can use any sort of media you want: drawing, photo-collage/photo-manipulation, fan fic, poetry, song, sculpture, plushy, cosplay, video… If you can dream it up, you can enter it. (Please limit prose entries to just a few pages.)
Your entry MUST pertain to events which occur within Volume 2 (Issues 7 – 12).
The Prize: This year we’re giving away a signed copy of The Dreamer Volume 2, with a personalized sketch inside of your favorite character! A signed Dreamer Print of your choice! A set of Dreamer Chibi Magnets! And all four of the Dreamer Short Story downloads!
Since Mike & I can never pick just one winner, there will be three runner-up winners, who each get a signed copy of the A Providential Hello comic, a set of Dreamer Chibi Magnets, and one of the Dreamer Short Story downloads of their choice!
I’ll post entries in the blog as they’re submitted. Either email them to me, or the easiest way to submit is through DeviantART– send me a link to the Deviation and I’ll collect them into a folder in my Favorites.
That’s it, so get creating! May the best entry win, whether song, poem, drawing or… cake!
UPDATE: The Deadline for Submissions has been extended to MIDNIGHT JANUARY 31st!
This is so brilliant! I can totally get started on this after my finals are over. :D
Geez, I know. That’s why we usually do this over the summer. My apologies for being late this year. :(
Where do we enter?
Either post it on DeviantART and send me the link or email it to me!
The link is right here, I did song I made http://fav.me/d3q9ph4
Oh gosh–would cosplay count as a “fanart” entry? :3
*facepalm* Re-read more carefully, answered my own silly question.
Of course! It can be a trial run for everyone’s costumes for Anime Boston. XD
GAAAH what I wouldn’t give to go to Anime Boston–I’m on the WRONG end of the country for that :(
Yay! Here we go. Well, I won’t be doing this just yet. Too much going on. Thanks for giving us a month. lol
You’re most welcome!
Bwahaha. We want me to get “Sheyneh” into the revisions phase first, right? ;) BTW What character sketch do you think you would like on your copy when the time comes?
oh yes I’m deffenitly entering. can it be a Youtube video, cause I’m making one right now
Yup!
Oh man! I GOTTA enter this year! And that’s a pretty fabulous prize :D
Ooooh I’ve been waiting for this! :D Now I just gotta dream up what I’m going to do. <3

Oh I forgot to mention that: you can enter more than once!
Why isn’t Alan shown in the montage of characters for the challenge ad??? Also, I might submit this year! Super excited!
Because he’s dead. ;)
I feel like if this was actually the case, you wouldn’t be such a tease about it! :P
Ouch!
DAH! Don’t say that!
Oh, wait….sadism. Never mind.
Ha ha I’m just messin’. Liz, Knowlton, Fred and Howe are missing too!
I just picked some of my favorite moments from the book- no conspiracy theory!
Sadism aside, those are all great moments :)
We might have to do a Christmas theme even though we are getting so close
Okay, never-mind about the Christmas theme, we’ll with just events
Maybe we can do Christmas later
dangabit. Not a good time of the year for me, between holiday travel, handbell concerts, a book signing (I have my first on the 10th! Ack!), and general holiday chaos? nope. no can do. :( Bummer. And I was really looking forward to doing this. sigh.
Well, I had two projects in mind…I’ll see if I can get the smaller one done…somehow :)
Handbell ftw! And congrats on the book signing! Sorry it’s interfering with the contest though.
OoO Book signing????????? That’s awesome!!!!!!
Civil War historical fantasy :)
Question!!!! Does it have to have to do with something happening /in/ the comic, or can it be something like a joke from the comment threads??????
Well, the winners will have to have tie ins to the issues collected in Vol 2, 7 – 12.
lol ok, thanks. I have a couple I’ll probably send in just for kicks…one is Nathan in a toga :D
double dang! the tea cozies are only from the comments, aren’t they. pout. I’m just being stymied left and right here.
Lol oh the hijinks we get up to.
Okay, cool, cool…..I wanna try to write something this year, so hopefully that’ll get done.
Wait, follow-up question — is that a few pages single spaced?
Sure.
Okay, cool, now i just need a new idea since the original one would have been based in issue 13…alas, maybe next year.
YAY! First Pollooza for me! :DD Blast, if only Issue 13 was included, this could be SOOO much easier… ;D
Yaaay! 8D I can actually participate this year. I can’t wait to get started!
