Actually that could be helpful to fight my anxiety ^^"

Ok I'll let you know when I go to one!

Three entrants so far (including myself), yay! The earlier you submit, the better, so it's less of a rush at the very end!

I just submitted mine! It was very hard to pick for the categories this year since i have not purchased anything new for about 9 months now. We will be moving back to California next year. So, no plans for new art until we get there!

I'll definitely be entering, no worries! I'm just trying to get together some last-minute re-scans of pieces I have up in my gallery. I'm also waiting to see if some of the cels I just purchased are going to be in in time for entry.

Query: should I upload the images as attachments to the e-mail, or is it okay to include the link in Rubberslug of the piece in question? If the former, I'm assuming it'd be helpful to have the filename be the name of the category in question?

Thanks!

Yes please just add them as attachments. I put a post earlier about how most people submit their entries, which seems to be the easiest way. Sometimes long file names give me trouble when I try to upload to RS, so the shorter the better (as in one word), otherwise I might have to go and rename them all.

Good, I still have time. I'll be sure to submit some things soon .

LOL 20 days and counting of course we prefer entries get in early so that we have time to get them in and are not doing crunchtime at the end!

Thanks,
Tara

Aren't these definitions of bliss and tranquility the same thing? I can't tell them apart.

Yeah they're pretty close. Although tranquility is more calm and bliss is a more excited kind of happy.
