Hee! I'll post info on your Contest if you do the same for mine?

My contest is themed "The Winter" and ends on December 1st. I'm completely unable to submit to mine (hee) so I'll submit to yours! MUAHAHAHAHAHA.

Any rules as to when the deviation must be created?

I didn't see a deadline for when they must be done by, but I also might be blind

I'll donate 1yr subscription or a 1yr Premium Print subscription, whichever the person wants/needs for 1st place.

I'll see if I can come up with a concept for it as well....
