Have your art featured in a collection of beautiful seasonal shots taken by some of the most talented photographers on deviantART!
With the Sony DSLR Calendar Contest, we're asking you to submit gorgeous photos of any subject matter depicting your favorite season (winter, spring, autumn, or summer) to contribute to one mighty awesome calendar. The 12 best images will go into a one-of-a-kind, deviant-created calendar and will be sold in the deviantART Shop.
This time you can enter a photo that was taken before the contest began. So, if you have the perfect seasonal picture chilling in your gallery already, you can submit it for your chance to win a slot in the deviantART Sony DSLR 2011 Calendar in addition to more awesome prizes!
