Hi, My name is [LynnAnneBrown]
And I'd like to begin by thanking [moira hawthorne] and [wicked fae mage] for inspiring this idea.

So here it is. I'd like to make a friendly and supportive place for creative folk to get together and explore where an idea or theme will take them. Technically this may end up being more of an UnContest, than a Contest in as much as I'd like to see the process and presentation itself become the ultimate outcome. Where the prize is having participated in something wonderful.

To get this going I would like to invite folk to contribute works of art inspired by the expression.

"A Door Way to......."


The Art that is offered can be old or new, and take on any form that you can make available on ElfTown. Traditional, Drawing and Painting techniques, Photo, Photo Manipulation, Poetry, Prose, Music, And if you can figure out ways to upload other forms of Art, well I am waiting to be happily surprised.

Also I welcome as many entries from folk as they are inspired to create. The only real rule I want to impose is that entries be ordered in a "Round Robin" sort of way. So that everyone gets to show off a piece in the first round, another piece in the second round, another in the third round, and keep adding rounds for however long folks are inspired to contribute.

Also I see no reason for the entries to remain static, If you have a new piece you'd like to replace an old one, Or would like to move your entries around between the rounds. So that your round one piece becomes your round three piece, and your round three piece goes into another round, go for it.

I would also like to really encourage folk to work together on projects, or group your works together if you feel they relate. Exactly how we work out the order of presentation and such I believe we can fine tune as we go.

Oh Yes.......And like all doorways I'd like to figure out how to get the ones that want to open lead to somewhere interesting.

Beyond that I would just like to see where this thing goes.

Please include with you entry

Your username
The title of the piece, if it has one
The piece itself of course
And any remarks you'd like to include that will help the viewer grasp your interpretation. (I suggest that you work you remarks so that they capture your thoughts in as few words possible while still conveying your meaning.)


Here is an example

This image represents
A door to my imagination
I am at the foot of a path
Waiting for others to arrive
And join me
On the road ahead
That leads beyond

So If you would like to be a part of this please deposit one of your inspirations at

My Way Inn ~ A Doorway to.......

And if you need any help along the way,
Just Ask.

2009-02-18 [moira hawthorne]: oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....

one piece for each artist? or more?
can exist art be submitted? or must it be new art?

2009-02-18 [Ramirez]: hm..

2009-02-18 [LynnAnneBrown]: I'd like to set up the page so that each submitter on the page is represented before a second piece by another entrant is shown. but I would like to see as many pieces submitted by folks as is reasonable to manage, maybe put a limit of 3 to start with if only figure out the process of mingling the entries so they relate to each other well.

As for new or existing, any piece of art that the artist or their muse is inspired to contribute is good with me. In the end I want this contest to belong to all the people who contribute, so that in the end the contest is one by all through creating a really cool wiki on the theme.

How I thought it could work is as people entered they did it something like this

[username] entry #
"Title"
Artwork
Remarks
That way as each person entered they could place their first piece at the end of the first entries group, their second at the end of the second entries group, etc.

Of course each entrant can decide if a later addition should be in the first, second, third, fourth tier, etc. as they go as long as everyone gets their turns.

I am still trying to figure out how to write the instructions on the page so it encourages a co-operative effort. I would even love it some of the artist wanted to get together and work on a piece together, or group their pieces together because they feel that they relate.

I have this picture of each door leading to a space where folk are then invited to create art to fit the theme of the room the door leads to. But I'd love to hear people weigh in on the idea, before I get too far ahead of myself.
