WIN: Become a Published Author/Artist UPDATE

dA is offering the opportunity to become a published author or artist through the Odyssey Project! For those unaware, the Odyssey Project is a dA wide community collaboration for authors and artists alike where they join forces to create and illustrate a narrative. All skill levels are welcome and anyone has a chance at getting in! Even if you have no interest in the end result, it's still awesome practice for newbies looking for feedback and to improve their skills.

While the event is mostly over, there's still a chance to sneak your way into the published book of all the entries the judging team deems l337 enough to be there~

The categories still open for submission are:

Chapter 7 illustration

Chapter 8 illustration

Prologue poetry

Epilogue poetry

A name for the story


Possible future contributions include:

Front cover artwork

Back cover artwork

Credits page for all the participants


The closing date for these submissions has been extended until further notice, which means people have plenty of time to make up an entry~ Even if you don't steal the "official" submission spot, entries techgnotic and co. deem to be awesome will also be included in the book. Graphic artists are in particularly high demand! *nudge nudge* All proceeds from the book sales are being donated to charity to celebrate the first running of the Odyssey Project~


Some of the benefits of publishing include:

A shiny stamp of awesome on your resume (especially useful for prospective authors )~
Bragging rights~
And in this particular instance, helping out a charity (which is still being chosen at the moment, so be sure to check out the second link and comment on your charity of choice.)


So haul arse to an artistic instrument of your choice and score yourself a place in the Odyssey Project's book!

Good luck and please fave to spread the word~

ALSO: Keep an eye on hq! Coffee deprived Project overlord techgnotic will be releasing a site wide update that'll (with any luck) have some more details!
