:megaphone: :megaphone: About the Contest :megaphone: :megaphone:

Basically this is how it works. I made a list of songs, (my goal was 10,... but ... well... I may add more choices later...)
All of the songs I chose had lyrics with a very specific sort of ... Imagery. I wanted something that was somewhat specific, but unrealistic. Fantasy based as it were. My inspiration for the contest was the first song "Last Rose of Summer / Walking in the Air". Where the lyrics have very specific kinds of images but ones that are completely fantastical.

What I want from YOU ... (for the contest) is this: I want a scene. Pick any ONE song and draw/paint or otherwise create some sort of scene/character/feeling from any of the songs below. I don't want a mix of songs, I want one song to be used per image. But I want to see what YOU see in your head when you listen to the words....
The feeling of the music should be taken into account. so keep in mind whether it's a soft song, a jaunty song, or a harsh song.

I am NOT looking for Abstract paintings, that would be for a different contest entirely. Please give me something with a little substance.

Other than that I tried to provide some variety.

You can submit as many entries as you like, but I would prefer if you limited yourself to Three Main Entries.

I tried to choose Music Videos without any... VIDEO portion, but I didn't always succeed, please be original with your work, I want to see YOUR rendition not something inspired from the MV's.

2nd Place Prize - A full colored image of one character. No background or Simple Background!

:target: :target: The RULES :target: :target:

:bulletred: The judging is ultimately up to me, regardless of whether or not I use other opinions.

:bulletred: No more than 3 entries per artist, each ARTIST can only win once.

:bulletred: Try to avoid excess abstraction. (be a more literal even if it's unrealistic... surrealism is better.)

:bulletred: You MUST use the songs I have provided... If you have suggestions to add to the list that is fine, but unless I add said song(s) I will not accept submissions using them.

:new: :new: :bulletred: The Deadline for art is March 20th, ... this date is subject to change at my discretion.

:bulletblue: Have FUN!! I don't want this to be a chore...
