 Be Inspired Contest   Who’s ready to get inspired!? And win a few prizes.  THE THEME BE INSPIRED. I want to emphasize to the DA community our abilities to inspire one another. After all, how often do you find yourself drawing or writing about a character you saw on T.V.? Or writing a story about a gorgeous photograph? When’s the last time you listened to a song and were so moved by the lyrics, you put pen to paper and managed to created a masterpiece? I’m sure it’s happened to all of us more than once. In my Be Inspired Contest , it’s all about appreciating the work of others and its ability to move you. Perhaps the work you create for this contest will then move others. ALL MEDIUMS ARE ACCEPTED.  THE RULES  Limit of 3 entries per person. No exceptions. No negotiations. Be sure to mention in your artist’s comments that your deviation was made for this contest and include a link to the contest as well. You must include the Be Inspired Stamp created by *seapuppy as a thumb somewhere in your artist’s comments.
