It is our desire to extend the deadline so that DAZ can get more involved in the contest effort in a much larger way than they are now, and include it as one of our "re-grand-opening" celebration events.
We wish to thank all of you who have sent in entries so far! I am keeping them nice and safe and sound for you for the contest. However, since you now have more time to work in, if any of you wished to do any more work on your entries you have submitted, you would be most welcome to do so and I will replace your previous submissions with the new ones you send me. You may also naturally, send in more submissions as well, up to a total of 3.
Postwork is allowed, and rending outside Poser is allowed :)
=========================================================

Theme: Visual Performing Arts. From the mystery of exotic dances of the orient, to fantastic and unique performances inspired by the Cirque du Soleil; the whimsy of mimes and clowns of Barnum and Bailey, suspenseful trapeze artists, high wire walkers, lion tamers and Court Jesters; ballerinas, tap dancer, and minstrels, all have a place in the performing arts tradition. These are a but a very few of the themes and concepts that are woven together to create our first contest as we seek to bring to life the spirit and majesty of the visual performing arts and circus tradition. All have a place in the Poser Pros Cirque du Spectacular!

Wow, great, another photoshop contest.

smiles Most of the entries sent in so far Ronstuff have no postwork at all done, since folks were not sure if they could do postwork. This is why I am clarifying that it is ok to do so if they wish :) As you can see from the above render, just putting in a simple background created in photoshop does wonders for the rendered figures :)

Hi Mehndi! Long time no see giggles But my illustration skills really suck, and for once I would like to stand a chance on my 3D modeling and lighting skills alone, which aren't too shabby. But I'll enter your contest anyway because it looks Sooooo Cooool!

Wonderful Ronstuff! That is all we ask, and you know? You cannot really lose by trying :) Everyone who enters wins a nice $10 gift certificate to DAZ :)

To me 2nd place looks better than 1st, because 1st place will receive Poser 4 which most of the participants will already have yet 2nd place receives Pro Pack which most dont have (I think), 2nd place will also receive Vue d'Esprit. Chris

LOL Well, LittleChris, enter, and maybe you will get lucky and win 2nd place! :)
