Hi everybody....first of all I would like to wish you a Happy New Year and may all your wishes be fulfilled in the year that is coming....the second matter on hand, I bought two subscriptions since there was a sale on subscriptions, so we are a super group until Mar 1, 2014.

Now about the contest....this contest will be a contest in collaboration with #CollaborativeCorpse.....the theme of the contest will be "collage exquisite corpse"...all the entries must be a collage (traditional or digital) and of course an exquisite corpse.....the idea is to combine one member from #The-Art-Of-Collage club and one from #CollaborativeCorpse club.....about the prizes, well we disused and here are some suggestion:
- a small booklet for the winning pair (one for each of the two artists). the conditions for this prize are: every participant of the contest to give his permission and at least 8 pairs.
- a mug or a print or magnet etc with the winning artwork, one for each of the two artists.
- subscriptions for both the wining artists.
Personally I prefer the booklet idea or the mug/print/magnet/etc idea, since most of the contests offer subscriptions.....I'll need you input on the prize choice and please comment if you will participate, because I'll need to pair people up....as about the duration of the contest, once the pairs are made, the contest will be running for about two months.....

Here you can find a little about the history of the exquisite corpse technique [link] [link] and here you can find a tutorial [link] .
