Hi guys,

We are officially launching our spring/summer 2012 contest today, with the theme being "The Sands of Time". The theme is as open ended as you want to make it, though we encourage you to be as creative as possible with the brief. We are looking for original, creative, and imaginative pieces, and the winners will be pick from those submissions which best fulfill these ideals. You must include at least one piece of our stock in your art, either as a reference or a photo manipulation. The closing date is midnight Pacific Standard Time 31st July 2012, and please see the rules below for full details.

At the end of each week we will feature all the entries submitted in the past seven days, with the chance for everyone to see the submissions so far.

So, we look forward to seeing the great art produced, and hope you have fun with the brief.

Rachel
