EDIT 2: (Announcing the winner)

The desktop background entries: starlit-sorceress.deviantart.c… (Free to use if you like, but not to edit or re-distribute as your own.)

And the winner is :iconchicky25: with her entry: chicky25.deviantart.com/art/Wa…

The composition is well done, and I especially like the color palette. The jewelry looks different in a fascinating way. I wish I could actually get my hands on a glass gem that looks like the one in the upper left.

Honorable mention goes to :icondark-lord-of-sith:

:iconchicky25: wins a custom-designed necklace for first prize, and since I didn't specify that only one entry can win, she also wins free shipping until February with her other entry.

:icondark-lord-of-sith: wins free shipping until February.

Next contest is here: fav.me/d5qgb5a

(Only one entry can win this time. :) )

I'm  hosting a contest every month, and it's December 1st today!

December's contest is a mix of gift-giving, and a fresh start for the new year: Make a desktop background featuring one of my jewelry designs.

Contest begins now and ends on the last day of December.


-You can make it with ANY medium you'd like, as long as the finished result is an image that can be used as a desktop background.

-Also, no more than two entries, please. (I'd feel bad if you spent days making a whole bunch and then didn't win.)

Rules and tips
-------------------
Comment or note me with a link to your piece that....

1. is categorized in "customization > wallpaper"

2. looks good when someone with a common screen resolution sets it as their desktop background (i.e. without having it be too stretched or too small.) Here's a list of the most common screen resolutions: superiorwebsys.com/blog/93/Mos…

3. has the words "Starlit Sorceress Jewelry" somewhere on the right side or center of the design. It needs to be big enough so that people who casually notice it can read it. It needs to be small enough so that it doesn't overwhelm the design.

4. is submitted to DA during the month of December, 2012. (This is so I'm never biased toward any "old favorites" that people have already sent me)

5. has at least one piece of my jewelry in it (yes, you're allowed to copy and paste from my gallery for this purpose) and credits me with a link to each piece you used in the description. (e.g. "Jewelry by *Starlit-Sorceress")

6. allows other people to use it as their desktop background, but nothing else. This means you have to consider the permissions for any other stock you use.

7. is G-rated please. :)



Prizes
---------

If at least two people enter, first prize will be a necklace with shipping paid by the winner. If at least five people enter, I'll pay shipping. If more people enter, there will be more prizes.

Honorable mention(s): Free shipping until the end of January.

(Note: Every entry that follows the rules and shows reasonable effort is an honorable mention!)



Permission rules
---------------
Everyone gets permission to use it as their desktop background, but nothing else. (No editing or re-distributing as their own.)

I get permission to copy/paste every entry into my pictures folder and use them to promote my jewelry for as long and as often as I want. (If I use your work at all, I will link to you on my website.)




(November's contest was for modeling jewelry of mine that you've already bought. If you missed it, don't worry. It will be back next November.)
