Edit My Art 2022EDIT MY ART 2022 v12 – ENCORE

As an end of the year wrap-up, the December EMA 2022 contest will be an ENCORE edition.

ANY previously submitted ONLY A FINE DAY edited image will be allowed, including previous placeholders. That's right, Folks. Even the FIRST PLACE WINNERS.

ANY and ALL EDIT MY ART entries can be reentered-up to the max of ten (10) images.

Of course, new work may be submit if you wish to create something fresh, but as my Christmas gift to everyone (and because December usually has such high demands on one's time) let's do an ENCORE of your favorites, a curtain call, a recap, a year end revue.

Since the beginning of the Edit My Art Contest Series in April 2021, there have been 19 contests, 44 contestants, and 268 images. From that potential, I hope to see at least one hundred (100) new and returning entries for this landmark historical contest. Come on now... Let's PARTY!


REMINDER (Special rules for the ENCORE EDITION only):

PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THESE RULES FOR A VALID ENTRY:

Just select something found ANYWHERE in my ONLY A FINE DAY images or collections and modify it, however you want, except if your image has or needs to have privacy settings... well, don't submit that one. If it makes my mother blush, it's not allowed. You may submit up to TEN (10) images.

*Rule 2: IMPORTANT to avoid plagiarism and to activate Fair Use:
YOUR DESCRIPTION MUST HAVE referenced material listed (name of original work referenced) AND include this copyright release statement -- Used by permission of Only A Fine Day.

Rule 3: ALLOWED DATES
EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ANY CONTEST. Include the date you completed the work in the description, on the work itself, or via the upload date. (PERMISSION to modify EXPIRES with the conclusion of the contest); however, once made and notated, the resulting image is yours although it MUST retain proper credit and notations (Rule 2).

ALL Previous Valid ONLY A FINE DAY EDIT MY ART CONTEST images, even those that WON A FIRST PLACE STATUS, may be reentered, regardless of date.

****************
BE AWARE
***Any artwork not rooted in one of my images, will definitely be removed from the contest.

* * * * * * * * * * *
Be inspired. Be creative.
Draw it, paint it, modify it, collage it, deconstruct it, blend it, whatever and however you are moved.
I'm pretty flexible on what you do as long as I can recognize that you started with MY art.
If you distort it beyond recognition, you definitely need to tell me what you did in the contest discussion tab, or risk deletion.
If an image has or needs to have privacy settings... well, don't submit that one. If it makes my mother blush, it's not allowed.

Looking forward to seeing what YOU do with MY artwork.

HAVE FUN AND GOOD LUCK!
