Free icon-raffles are yes? YES!Whelp, so I noticed this got in dA's footer.
Just a small reminder that this is a raffle for people who are watching me.

I think I will probably have to check people to make sure, though.

Why?
I've gained a lot of new watchers recently, but I haven't really done any give-aways any more since ... more than a year?
I figure now is the time to rectify this by doing a free icon-raffle!

I will be raffling off an icon like this:

The icon can be of any character of yours you want it to be.
You're basically winning a free icon-commission.

How many will I be raffling off?
That depends on how many people enter. For now, I'm raffling off 1 icon.
Should more than 250 people enter, I'll be raffling off a second icon.
And in the unlikely event that 500 people are to enter, I will be raffling off a third icon.RULES

Spring Alliance Contest!

Greetings, luminous Allies! It is my pleasure to announce the Spring Alliance Contest!

:iconlit-visual-alliance:
What is the Alliance, you ask?
The Alliance is a project group intended to encourage visual and literary artists to work together. I've felt for some time that the dA Literature Community can at times be somewhat insular - to its detriment. We in the Lit Community are also sometimes prone to griping about the lack of exposure our work receives when compared to that of visual artists. So in the spirit of ^thorns brilliant Complaint Challenge I thought I would try to do something about that. And so the Alliance was born!
Because I, your founder, have a deep and abiding love for the seasons, this group now hosts seasonal contests, and as the Winter Contest is now over, it is time for Spring.

Canada Day Feature.

by Nobody, Jul 6, 2009, 6:20:29 AM
Journals / Culture / Contests

"Canada Day, is Canada's national day, a federal statutory holiday celebrating the anniversary of the 1 July 1867 enactment of the British North America Act, which united Canada as a single country, which was in turn composed of four provinces. Canada Day observances take place throughout Canada as well as internationally.

Frequently referred to as "Canada's birthday", particularly in the popular press,the occasion marks the joining of the British North American colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada into a federation of four provinces (the Province of Canada being divided, in the process, into Ontario and Quebec) on 1 July 1867. Although Canada is regarded as having become a kingdom in its own right on that date, the British Parliament kept limited rights of political control over the new country that were shed by stages over the years until the last vestiges were surrendered in 1982 when the Constitution Act patriated the Canadian constitution."
