*CLOSED*Loose-themed contest -- BARCODE*CLOSED*

New contest time! ...sort of. It will still have some of the elements from my old
contests, but with a bit of a twist so that I can ensure that no one is submitting
deviations into the contest that they were just uploading to DA anyways.

I don't know it there's been something like this before (and if so, what it's called) but
I'm going to start a week-long, loose-themed contest. Loose-themed meaning: I'm
going to give a description, a word, scenario, whatever - and you try to either
incorporate or in some way, place it in your art. So, for example, this weeks theme
is BARCODE.

Now, what I want you to do is the same as always. I want to see original works, any
medium again, but in order to ensure that no one is cheating (unless by rare
circumstance their uploaded piece happens to coincide with my theme), I want you
to incorporate my loose-theme into your piece. This first one being, barcode.

That doesn't mean you need to make the entire piece or photo or whatever about a
barcode. You can still take pictures of kittens, draw awesome skulls with blood
spilling out of the eyes, or photo-manipulate a carrot tap-dancing on the grave of a
pickle - WHATEVER YOU WISH! BUT - somewhere in there, I want to see a
barcode.

Even if it's tucked away in the corner just so it's out of the way, I still want to see it
so I know you did it this week. And if you want to make barcode your overall, main
theme, awesome, I'd love to see what you come up with. Just don't make it a
"Where's Waldo" experience where I have to strain to find it, otherwise your
deviation might have to be excluded from the contest.

Since it's a week long contest I will allow up to 3 entries per person (if they even feel that ambitious). First place will get 50 points, 2nd- 30 points, and 3rd gets 20
points. If I get a lot of entries, I might even bump up each prize - we'll have to see how it goes.

Contest ends Friday, July 26th at midnight.

Not sure if that clarifies everything, but feel free to ask. Chances are if it's not clear
to one person, it's not clear to many others and I want it to be crystal.
