Guide for Which Folders You can Submit to by Anime-Manga-Artists on DeviantArt (original) (raw)
I have updated rules as I see many of you seem to have forgotten or not been informed that Vocaloid characters MUST be submitted into the "Fan Art - Video Games, TV, Movies, Other" folder!!!
Here's the run-down of folders and which ones you can submit to, and what submissions are acceptable for the different folders.
IF YOU ARE CAUGHT SUBMITTING TO THE WRONG FOLDER, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR CHANCE TO SUBMIT FOR THE MONTH. NO EXCEPTIONS.
If we see a submission put into the wrong folder, you will lose your chance to submit for the month and have to wait until the next month in order to submit. Please withdraw if you realize that you got the wrong folder.
If you need help finding out how to pick the folder, please check this out: Picking out Folders and Subfolders
