Our first IllustratedWord contest theillustratedword.deviantart.… is ending in 5 days! The contest entry folder closes May 25th, 12:00 midnight, Pacific Standard Time.
Submission Guidelines
This is a reminder that our submission guidelines are located on the group's front page. Please read them when joining the group. Approximately 80-90% of the group's submissions do not meet the group submission guidelines and are turned down. As the group grows, it is becoming hard to keep up with the quantity of submissions. Therefore, I will be limiting the number of submissions allowed per week.
If anyone has found the submission guidelines unclear, please do let me know. If there are parts that read ambiguous to some people, I would like to change them and perhaps reduce some of the declined submissions.

New folder
A new folder has opened up!
We have had a few exceptional submissions declined because they were illustrations of books-in-progress, or books about to be published.
"Unpublished Work" is where you can submit art related to work that hasn't been published. It can be a childen's story you are working on, cover art you have drawn, or illustrations of a scene in a novel or short story you are working on. You don't have to have a publisher ready-and-waiting to sell your story, but this is not where you submit drawings of your OC-who-has-a-background-story. Illustrations of in-canon fan fiction will also be permitted, given you provide a link
