How Would You Express Your Feelings Through Art?
DeviantART and Wacom have joined forces to inspire you to give the gift of art! To participate, create a piece of art that illustrates a precious possession-whether physical, emotional, or spiritual-that you would like to share with someone special in your life. Fifty semi-finalists will be selected by designated members of deviantART, and all semi-finalists and winners will receive prints of their entry to share with friends and loved ones. Top entrants will receive even greater prizing!
Visualize a very special person in your life. What do you dream of giving them?
Create an original piece of art that depicts your precious possession as a gift for a special person in your life. That possession can be something physical, emotional, or spiritual. You may use any visual medium for your entry. The deviation description for your entry must include: the tools used to create your art, and details about who you're giving the precious possession to and why.
Submit your entry using the ENTER NOW button below.
Your entry must be at least 2000 pixels in its shortest length and either be a single .JPG or .PNG file.
