Restarting The DD Game! Please Read!

Hiya Darlings,

I'm going to restart the DD Game so I can better clarify on the rules and whatnot that I couldn't do in the poll. I've you've already suggested a stock image for a DD and left a link with the suggestion and your own piece that you would like featured on the poll, I'll be sure to add that to the feature list when the game ends. Receiving a DD is a very exciting feeling, especially if it is your first one. I received my first one a few days ago for my tutorial on how to properly credit stock sources and I was absolutely thrilled! Now, on to the guidelines for the feature!


The DD Game Ends: April 1st, 2012

The Rules

Suggest a Stocks and Resources image for a Daily Deviation. It MUST be a stock photo or stock resource to qualify and be listed in the Stocks and Resources category of to count.

FAQ #61: What is a Daily Deviation?

You can suggest a daily deviation to either Elandria or Dan-Heffer. They only accept stocks and resources suggestions. Be sure to read their rules on their profile about how to suggest a DD before you submit the request!

  The Stock Artist you suggest MUST be a first time recipient! This means they currently have never received a DD.

FAQ #313: How can I find out if someone already has a Daily Deviation?

After you have sent in your suggestion, link the suggested stock photo along with one photo of your own that you would like featured alongside the suggested piece in the comments section below.

Read this before submitting your DD suggestion:

Its a regular question, and something that the other Community Volunteers get asked about as well. So during Project Educate Stock & Resources week I'm going to try and lay out some of the reasons behind our choices.
Stock & Resources Daily Deviations, and how they are judged by the Community.
Dan has already touched on this touchy subject in his "Potential" Article here - The Potential of Stock
There is something fundamentally different about stock & resources DD's compared to all the other DD's from all the other galleries.
Stock & Resources are NOT finished artworks to be viewed as an end product.
We can't stress this enough!!! 
 The Stock Artist/Provider/Creator has not submitted this work becasue they think its absolutely perfect and they want to show it off, they subm


Keep in mind that stocks that have a clear quality, high resolution, and a unique style have a better chance at receiving the DD.  Below are examples of recent deviants that have been awarded a DD in the last week (including the shameless plug of mine! )
