Welcome to the =12Themes Club. That's 12 Themes A Year. A place for you to participate in fun contests and themed submissions. We want to showcase our member's best work - and to help you show off that work, we will provide you with regular themes and contests to inspire your art.

Feel free to browse around the gallery and don't forget to check out these links below, to keep yourself up to date with everything that is going on. Also, stop by the Suggestion Box and leave some comments and ideas. If you have a concept for a theme, or if you'd like to donate a prize for a contest, or even if you have some suggestions for how to run the club better...this is the place to tell us.

One more thing before you go looking through our gallery, PLEASE DON'T work here at the club! Please, follow the links with each deviation back to the original work and offer your support and encouragement directly to the artist! Many thanks... now go and enjoy!

Joining this club is simple. Just send us a note with "join" in the subject line, and we'll add you! Please make sure once you've watched us, that you read the submission guidelines before you send your work in!

If you've got any questions, please feel free to contact the club admins
and we'll do our best to help with your enquiry:

Ok guys, submissions are still closed at the moment, just while we get all these journals up to date and figure out what's going on.

Please go use the suggestion box if you have any good ideas and want to share them with the club. What should the new theme be?


We should start submissions again soon but we probably won't have a contest until next month now, to give you guys some more time to prepare.

Thanks for bearing with us during this changeover. We promise we will be up and running very shortly.


Cheers,

Please visit our suggestion box if you have any suggestions for the theme.




Please see our submission guidelines for how to submit your pieces for this theme.

The monthly contest will be suspended until December, because of this changeover. That will give you guys a chance to prepare.

If you have an idea for the contest and next theme and/or are willing to donate prizes (i.e. features, subs etc) please go comment at the
suggestion box or you can always note us.

Cheers,

- A different theme & contest every month
- Photography/Photomanipulation Only

Only members can submit work to the club!
To keep track of members in the club and their permission to post work here, you must be a member to submit work. General members of the dA community are welcome to enjoy the club though.

To join the club:

- send us a note with "join" in the subject line (no submission in the note).
- add us to your watch
- once we watch you back, you can start submitting work.

- join the club (only members can submit work)
- read the =12Themes' submission guidelines, below
- send us a note with "submission" in the subject line, and a link to your deviation inside the note.
- please only send ONE submission per week; and only ONE submission per member per contest.

Each month a new theme will be chosen, and a definition of that theme will be posted. Sometime it may be a quote, or a poem or just a concept. Your submissions should be in keeping with that theme. If required, the club admin will ask you to define how your piece represents the current theme.

It's pretty simple...We want to see you growing artisitcally, we want work that hasn't been on display in your dA gallery for an extended period of time (over 12 months). If your work is over 12 months of age, your submission will be reviewed by the club admin as to whether it will be posted or not.

The club is here to help you gain exposure and therefore feedback, but please don't send us 'snapshots'. It is up to you what you send us, but we'd prefer you to make you sure you send us your best work:

- we accept finished and final work only (no works in progress)
- photographs should be clearly in focus, neat and well presented
- no 'snapshots' images will be accepted (show us it's d'ART)
- your deviation should be correctly categorised (we reserve the right to re-categorise work where required)
- frames and watermarks are preferred for submissions

Submitted images should not be too large or too small for viewing, this is fairer for members who have internet download limits or slower connections and to also protect the club against potential copyright infringements:

- images should be no smaller than 450pixels in width
- images should be no larger than 1500pixels wide
- we reserve the right to decline work that is too small or big

It's pretty simple to submit work here, just send us a note with Submission and the current theme, in the subject line.

eg. "Submission - Reflections"

Inside the note place the preview link (URL of your deviation) to the deviation in your gallery (not full view, and not a : thumb : link either), and then we will add it as soon as possible.

If your note does NOT have "submission" in the subject line, and you've just included a link in the note, your submission will NOT be posted. you must label the note correctly for us so we know what to do with it!.

Deviations are submitted to the club by deviantART members and therefore are displayed in the gallery with permission (because only you can submit your own work). Images displayed in this club may not be copied or reproduced without the expressed permission of the original artist of the work. All members of this club are to abide by the deviantART submission guidelines.

It is dA policy that clubs not +fav the work of it's members. so we won't be doing this. If you find that the club has for some reason +fav'd something of yours, we ask that you let us know immediately. For more information about this, please see dA FAQ #216: Are there any rules for accounts being used as clubs or 'group' accounts?

The =12Themes admin reserve the right to review and change these submission guidelines at any time.
