With Cosmic Illusions we challenge you to create an artwork, sci-fi, surreal, fantasy, doesn´t matter, just pick your favourite genre and blow us away. Show us another world, state of mind, dimension, dream or nightmare, hallucination, prophecy of things to come etc..
Anything goes from tradional fantasy to far-out science-fiction, from tranquil surreality to the downright bizarre, as long as the end-result doesn´t resemble our own everyday-reality too closely. And as long as you use the required stocks in your entry of course, more about those in the rules.

Entries:[link]
I. Each entry has to use at least one stock-piece from the cosmos-packs distributed by *
resurgere, and at least one model stock, from `
Elandria, *
faestock or =
lindowyn-stock. The more effort put into the required stock-use though, for example, using all three models with one space-piece might make the judges appreciate the entry a little more.
II. You´re free to use as much as other stocks as you like, as long as the required stocks are in your entry as well.
III. Credit properly. Entries with vague crediting will be automatically ignored. If you happen to use stock-photos from offsite, from
[link] for example, you need to credit via direct link(s) to the photo(s) you used, crediting sxc.hu only is not enough. As for resources used from DA, dev-link or icon-link to the stock-provider(s) are required. If you don´t know how to create dev-links or icon-links, read this:
[link]IV. Both digital & traditional media entries are accepted. However, in the case of tradional media entry, the use of the required stock has to be obvious enough. No literary entries, has to be an image.
V. One entry per artist.
VI. Your entry has to be new, artworks submitted before the contest starting date (September 22, 2008) will be ignored.
VII.
Note your entries to =
Funerium, using a subject like "Competition entry" or something similar. Entries via comments on my front-page, or elsewhere will be ignored. And don´t forget to inform the other required stocker(s) about your piece, as well as all the other stock-providers used in the entry if their rules require you informing them about the use of their stock.
VIII. Don´t forget to state in your artworks description that you´re submitting the image for this competition. A link to this competition-journal wouldn´t hurt either, but it´s not mandatory.
IX. Have fun. That´s an order.
Deadline: January 9th, 2009. We reserve the right to extend the deadline if there occurs any need to do so.

Interested in donating a prize for the contest? Comment in this journal or drop me a note.
Each donator will receive an exclusive space-stock pack from me as thanks, the number of the pieces in the pack will vary, depending on what you´re donating. Smaller donations (journal features, stamps, dedicated manipulations etc.) will get you a two-pack, bigger donations (subscriptions, prints, exclusive stock-packs etc.) will raise the amount of images in the pack to four.
Donator-prizes will be delivered after the contest deadline is over and the winners are announced. Also, I´m going to need visible proof of the promised donation delivered to the winner untill sending you the donator-prize. In case of a journal-feature, a link to the journal where the features are, in case of stamp/dedication/etc. submission, a link to the actual deviation noted my way. In case of a subscription/print/etc. bought to the winner, a screenshot of the completed shop-transaction e-mailed my way.
This due to past experiences as a contributor in many contests, and seeing that there´s often people who enjoy being listed as a kind-hearted contributors while the contest is running, and still not delivering what was promised in the end. Obviously, people like that are not wanted in this contest, and I see no reason rewarding empty promises.
So please, if you´re interested in donating, promise only what you can deliver in the end, or don´t donate at all, thank you.
