Presenting: Community VolunteersA BRIEF OVERVIEW
Over the years, we've been proud to offer the opportunity to volunteer with deviantART. We believe that our volunteers play a crucial role in helping our community develop and grow in positive ways.
The Gallery Moderator (previously known as Gallery Director) and Message Network Admin (MN@) teams have become a much loved and appreciated role, with many volunteers proudly detailing their experience in applications to enter into successful careers with companies who all recognise the value of volunteering in such a vibrant and eclectic community. Did you know that some of our now full time Staff were once volunteers? $fourteenthstar, $Moonbeam13, $pachunka, $aunjuli, $y2jenn, $damphyr, `Tachy-on, $dxd and $Ikue all volunteered in various roles -- and we are all very proud of that fact!
Over the past few months, we've been taking a close look at the volunteer experience -- what's worked, what hasn't worked a

deviantART's 11th BirthdAy: Let's Celebrate! Tweet

August 7th, 2011 marks deviantART's 11th birthdAy, but in true devious style, we're taking a whole week to celebrate! Our original plans for Deviants Appreciation Day were so huge that there was no possible way to express our love for the community in a mere 24 hours. Instead, we've created Deviants Appreciation Week, and what better time to host a week's worth of community-oriented events than in the days leading up to our birthdAy?

Each day this week, we have something special organized for you to participate in! Check out the schedule of events below to come party with us!

Wikipedia Day Contest

by $Moonbeam13, Jan 15, 2007, 3:05:50 AM
Journals / deviantART, Inc. / Hot Topics

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, celebrates its 6th birthday on Jan 15, also called Wikipedia Day. The website is a source of encyclopedic information, to which anyone can contribute, by adding new articles or improving existing ones.

On this day we would like to invite you, members of the devaintART community, to celebrate together with Wikipedians around the world, by doing what you do best - creating wonderful and inspiring works of art.

At the core of Wikipedia lies a dream. "Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge." This is part of Wikimedia Foundation's vision statement. Your mission is to show us what the world will look like when Wikipedia is actually "finished" (obviously it can never be completely finished but use your imagination)

Submission rules:

open to all forms of art a seperate literature category will be opened

license: all works will have to be licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution or Attribution-Share alike license (cannot be "non-commercial" and cannot be "no-derivatives") or any other license allowed on Wikimedia Commons (see [link] for details. Since this might be a problem ). Please contact lukasz.garczewski@wikimedia.pl for copyright-related questions.

Submit to community projects -> contests -> 2007 -> wikipedia day contest ->literature or community projects -> contests -> 2007 -> wikipedia day contest ->other media

Deadline: Feb 15th, 2007

Prizes:

1st place - one item for $25 USD (or less) from Cafepress.com's Wikipedia shop and a 1 year subscription to deviantART

2nd place - one item for $20 USD (or less) from Cafepress.com's Wikipedia shop and a 6 month subscription to deviantART

3rd place - one item for $15 USD (or less) from Cafepress.com's Wikipedia shop and a 3 month subscription to deviantART

Thanks for putting up a great contest! Just finished and submitted my own entry for it ( [link] for anyone who's curious.). Personally, I'm just glad to have an opportunity to give back to Wikipedia, as it were, since i've regularly had to pull information from there for other projects of mine.
