If you see or read anything on dA that absolutely awes you, please consider suggesting the piece for a DD feature. FAQ #18: Who selects Daily Deviations and how are they chosen?
It's been a while since I've done some kind of "to-do" list, but this list isn't for me. (Well, not entirely.)
This is a list of current contests offering awesome prizes that you might want to look at and make your entry!

Check out the list of teachers and their specific media.

Some spots are already full, so be quick and get your name in!

If you don't browse the photography section of the site, then you might not be familiar with Urban and Rural. It has some stunning artwork, though, and you're being offered a prize for contributing to the hoard!
A 3-month premium membership is up for three people to win, so check out the journals explaining what this genre consists of, get out your camera, and wow hosagu!

What's under the sea? While Hollywood once tried to explore this with SeaQuest DMV, that show is mostly forgotten, and nothing has really touched on earth-based exploration since. Join Malleni-Stock in exploring the possibilities with some photomanipulation for the chance to win some points prizes!
Contest ends July 10!
Speaking of things under the sea, if photomanipulation isn't necessarily your thing, check out STelari's contest! With mostly art as the prize pool, GrimGloomTale wants you to show or tell them what mermaids really look like. Lit folks, this is your chance to win a sketch from a CV (and I think it would be based on your story)! That's certainly not something to pass up the chance on, so get creative and write 999 words or less showing the true nature of a mermaid!
That's not to say traditional and digital aren't allowed because they are. So, visual artists, get out your tools and make it Grimm.

If you've been looking for a chance to use your camera and some appreciation for that bokeh photography you take, then I've got a competition you might be interested in!
There are other categories - flowers and "blue" - but there are prizes for each category, and three places for each! Plenty of points are on offer in this one, so definitely check it out! Give Kaz-D and JenFruzz more material to feature once the contest judging is ended and winners are announced! They're always looking for great art!

We all love characters who have a bit of mystery to their personalities, so why not manifest that physically?
The challenge? You have to reference stock to enter the competition, but it's not a photomanipulation contest! Though photomanips are allowed, the contest is geared towards using the stock as reference rather than as a base.
So get creative with an original character or even a fan character in a pose referencing LaLunatique's stock, and enter for your chance to win points and awesome artwork!
Contest ends August 31!
Not artistically inclined?
No problem! I have something for you to do too!
If you've ever wondered if anyone does anything for the people who suggest DDs, wonder no more! LiliWrites has started up the DD Suggestion Drive, so if you want to see your favorite art pieces recognized with that honor - or you've always wanted a reason to suggest one of your own pieces for the feature - then go ahead and suggest away! Just copy the lovely Lili on your suggestion note (she explains how in the journal) and tell a CV why you think the art you're recommending is so awesome the whole site should see it.
Want a prize? The top three suggesters will be eligible to receive a print from the DA shop worth up to $20 USD! You'll be eligible for some features if you suggest works as well, so definitely get involved and make someone's day while shamelessly promoting yourself.

You remember that person who did something sweet for you time and time again? Want to honor them? Or maybe you can't decide who you think is the sweetest person you've met on DA and you want to suggest a lot of people.
Either way, this is your event! While the prize you get here is only making someone's day, you do get to make it really special - 5,000 points will be awarded to the person receiving the most valid votes for being the sweetest person on DA!

ThatAnnoyingRabbit wants to know - who's your personal rock star on DA? If there's someone on the site who's inspired you simply by being amazing by whatever definition you give that, then this is your chance to make their day and give them some much needed love. TheGalleryOfEve is offering a one year premium membership and ThatAnnoyingRabbit is offering points and a feature. There will also be an awesome trophy from Somnusvorus, so make someone's day and nominate them as a rock star!

Whom do you admire? Tell Astralseed in a comment on this journal! While she is using it as a basis of whom she should give points to, it really should be viewed in the spirit of uplifting the community, so no begging in the comments there!
