Update 3:
Please submit entries by Dec. 21.  
We've had some great entries so far.  Let's see more :)
Please donate prizes!!!!  Prints, commissions, and I have a donation pool on my home page just for the competition.
Based on donations so far, I'm modifying prizes to be the following:

1st place each category: 6 months dA membership
2nd place each category: 4 months dA membership
3rd place each category: 2 months dA membership
Honorable Mention each category:  250 points
All winners will be featured in a special folder and in a journal feature.
One category -- Work inspired by a piece in CosmicRoots -- has only one entry so far.  If there are not at least eight entries in that category, there will be no prizes for it, but points will be given for having participated.

Update 2:
I've created a donation pool on my profile page reedymanedkelpie.deviantart.co… for anyone wishing to contribute points for competition prizes.
*** So far we've received donations of over 2,100 points towards prizes.  Thanks you guys :)
 If you wish to be mentioned as a contributor, or have the points go towards a specific category, please send me a note :)  
Please help us have really great prizes.  
:star:  Donations of prints and commissions are very welcome also. :star:

Submissions don't have to be new work, and you may submit more than one entry.  But -- this is a JURIED competition: not all submissions will be accepted.  
* If you want to submit an entry that's already in the group, please send me a note and if I accept it I'll copy it over. *

Original post:
With only 167 members our group just reached 10,000 page views (June 7, 2014), and along the way we've gotten compliments about what fine work we have.  Pretty good :)  So we will be having a 10,000 pageviews competition open to all members, anyone who ever contributed work, and all members of dA.

You may submit work in any medium and of any type normally accepted by our group to any of these four categories:
1. Work inspired by a piece in our gallery.  ** Please say Which Work, and how it inspired yours. **
2. Work that tells a story.
3. Work that is extremely beautiful (can be very dramatic at the same time).
4. Work of general community benefit, e.g., tutorials, essays, (such as How Do Those Fractalists Turn Numbers into Beautiful Images? or Really Simple CSS for Journal Skins), really great stock images, etc., etc.

A fifth category will be set up for all members of dA to vote for their favorite pieces, so you may want to let your Watchers know.

There will be many prizes :star:  To start with,
First prize in each category receives:
      -  a one year membership
      -  being featured in a new folder for competition winners

delusionalasylum.deviantart.co… has contributed 10 points towards prizes :)

If you wish to contribute a prize, please note me and I will add it to the list with credit to you.   Prints, points, and commissions would all be nice prizes  :)

Timeline: I haven't set a deadline yet, but you will have several months at least.

Suggestions are welcome!

I will update this as time goes by.
