Wow, we had 93 entries this year! That's awesome. Thanks to everyone who participated and turned our photos into super awesome creations of a different sort. I love to see such talent that perhaps I've missed before, as I don't always have the time to browse through random galleries that maybe aren't always on the front page. Please leave some love for your favorites! I'd love to know which you guys like best. Is there an obvious winner for you? Who had the most creativity? We'll announce the winners the first day of 2010. Okay, I'm off to dig through your galleries and see your other stuff.

**Current Entries :




WinterWolf Studios' 3rd annual Fanart contest! Starting today! Please make sure you read all the complete rules to participate!

The Rules :

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO NOT ACCEPT YOUR SUBMISSION FOR ANY REASON, OR CHANGE THE RULES WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE (No, it's not if we just don't like it. For instance, if it's in question whether or not you followed the rules and didn't just photo-manip.)

***This contest is for new creations only. All entries must have been made AFTER the starting date.****

***Contest runs from November 25th to December 27 at midnight EST! We'll be announcing the winners the first day of 2010.***


All submissions must be a traditional artform (vector, painting, digital painting, drawing) **based off of one of our photos.** NO PHOTO MANIPULATIONS or photographs will be accepted. Let's say that again, NO PHOTO MANIPULATIONS or photography (sorry).

You may submit as many entries as you'd like.

Creativity is encouraged... your traditional art piece does not have to be a direct replication of a photo of ours, you may make changes if you'd like (such as changing colors, backgrounds, etc), but we'd like all submissions to be recognizable as being inspired by one of our works. Or, you may make it as dead-on accurate as you'd like.

Except for the photos listed in the paragraph below, you may base your entry off any photo off our Girltripped page, our Myspace Page, our flickr or our webpage. Or, if you'd like to be even more creative, you may combine elements of multiple photos of ours into one piece.

Credit in the form of a link to our page [link] must be made in the description of the post. Also please include the words "Girltripped Contest Entry" in the title of the work.

Please send us a note with the link to the deviation when your entry is finished, so that we can favorite your entry and put it with the other entries in our journal. We'll be updating our journal as often as we have time to.
This contest is open internationally, not just to those in the U.S.



The Prizes :

You do not need to draw the photo you wish to receive as a prize for the contest this year, you can pick any of our photos on our DA as your prize. If you win, we ask that you place the photo you'd like on your wishlist so that we can order it for you immediately. If you'd like us to sign it and write you a funny letter, feel free to ask us for our address and we'll ship it back to you signed. Up to you.

The first place winner will receive a photo print of their choice off our Deviantart page in 20x30 or 16x20, your choice. Second place will receive a 10x15 or equivalent , and third place will receive an 8x12 of any photo in our gallery of their choice.

Winners will be announced in our journal for all to see.


Photos you cannot use :
The photos below we ask that you please not use for your reference, simply due to them being used to death before and we like a little variety. We will except these entries but honestly we'd rather not see them. Thank you!



Some random past entries that we loved :


Have fun with this guys! In the past we've had so many fabulous entries. We love bringing attention to some of the neglected artists who do wonderful traditional artwork. So please help leave feedback and support for those that enter! We will try to keep the bottom of this journal up-to-date with the current entries as we get them.
