And the winners are...

In the Judge's Section:

Chosen by

First Place:

Give me your voice by Khioora

What the judges were saying: "Khioora's piece definitely jumped out at me when I was first browsing through the entries- it's a striking illustration, granted, but I was also taken with the integration of both 1830's fashion, and Romantic period portrayals of mermaids with more delineated legs. I'm not a huge fan of fashion in the 1830's, but I'll be the first to admit that it's a blast to draw; I think Khioora did a great job of capturing the so-called "Waist and Extravagance" of the period with both her characters' overall silhouette, and her general detailing of the costume. Great stuff!"~ shoomlah

Second Place:

Queen Kidagakash by PissedArtwork

What the judges were saying: "PissedArtwork's Queen Kidakagash is a lovely attempt to meld the disparate inspirations for Atlantis into a single, cultural costume"~ shoomlah

"I love all the detail and research put into this rarely drawn Disney Princess!" ~DrMistyTang

Third Place:

Tiana, Naveen, and Steamboat Willie by MoonyMina

What the judges were saying: "I love the idea of Tiana and Naveen seeing a movie in the early days of movies - especially since the movie chosen just so happens to be Steamboat Willie! It's an excellent crossover true to the time Tiana and Naveen live in. The wedding rings are a great touch as this definitely take place a while after the movie does. ~DrZime

Thanks for entering, everyone! This contest was a blast!

You guys voted! And the next contest we'll be doing is "Historical Disney", inspired by shoomlah's Historical Princess Collection!.

For this contest you'll be taking your favorite Disney movie/TV show/etc. and putting a historical spin on it. Whether that be clothing, a historical place, or even an event, it's up to you!

For more information, read on!

- Your picture doesn't have to be of a princess. Anything Disney is okay.

- Any Disney movie/TV show/Video game/comic is just fine. You're free to choose whatever you want!

- Any medium is fine (Traditional, digital, literature is all okay)

- There are several ways you can put a historical spin on your entry. Here are some:

Make the clothes of your chosen character more accurate to history in the time period it's set.

If the character you want to draw is already accurate to history (example: TRON took place and was made in the '80s, so the clothing is already accurate) then you can draw them in historically accurate clothes from the era that weren't featured in the movie.

Draw the characters in a historical locale. Example: The Princess and the Frog takes place in 1920s New Orleans. If you can draw the characters from the film at a locale special to that time and place, be our guest!

Draw the characters at a historical event special to their time and place. Examples: civil rights movement, WWII, etc.

Draw your chosen character in the style of an artist at the time your chosen movie takes place.

Other? Go ahead and ask in a comment!

For writers: The best option would probably be to depict your chosen characters at an historical event.

- Crossovers are fine, but you must keep your crossovers restricted to within three fandoms.

- Our regular group rules still stand. No Kingdom Hearts, ABC shows, or Marvel characters unless they're accompanied by a regular Disney character.

- Your artwork must be new. Only works created after this contest was put up (01-05-13) will be accepted.

- No fan pairings. All pairings must be canonical.

- No gender bending

- Keep it clean. No nudity, gore, or nipples poking through clothes. NO FETISHES!

- Don't use screenshots in your work. All the art you submit must be completely made by you.

- You may enter the contest even if you're not a member. Comment in this journal with a link to your entry when you're done so I can add it here.

- And please be aware it can take up to a day for us to list your entry here/ accept it into the group. We have about 10,000+ members, so it takes us a little bit of time to get through all our messages. If you've been waiting for more than a day and a half, THEN you can send us a note and ask what's up.

- When the contest is over, we'll put up a journal with all the entries on it, and the members will vote on which one they think is best. And, a panel of judges will decide on six other winners.

- You're allowed TWO entries.

- Please submit your entry to our Contest 23 - Historical Disney folder in our gallery!

- If you have any additional questions, either comment here, note the club, or note one of the owners, (DrMistyTang or DrZime)

March 25th, 2013.
There will be no extensions unless up to half the people who've entered at the time of the due-date ask for an extension. So, no; an extension is not likely.

Use your time wisely!

Panel of Judges

Judges may enter the contest, but they will only be eligible to win in the Popular Vote section.

We chose our winners by creativity, originality and personality more than artwork. So, be sure to stretch your imagination!

How to Gain Favor with the Judges

- Descriptions on this one are VERY important! We want to know all about your historical subject and where you got your inspiration/references. Your work won't have to be 100% accurate to history, but your inspiration is key to your success for this contest.

- Be creative! The best artwork will not necessarily win. Think out of the box, and go wild!

- We will not choose anyone who traces an image from a screenshot or another artist. Take an original view, or use your own style to make your artwork unique.

- Put effort into your work. You don't have to be the best artist for your effort to show. Believe me, we can tell.

- Make a scene! There's nothing more boring to us than a bunch of characters standing around. Bring it to life!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Three prizes will be given by popular vote, and three will be given by our panel of judges.
