UPDATE: We've extended the event signup to the end of FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30th to allow for more participants. So there's still time to participate!

Hey everyone! Its getting into the holiday season again, so its time for the 2012 Holiday Art Swap!

Its an annual event I've been holding every year since 2006, here on :devart: - it was inspired by the same event I participated in on an offsite community. I wanted to bring fellow deviant artists together here to have some fun.

:devart: has  been a little quieter than usual this year, so I need your help to make the event bigger and better than ever!

How does it work? Its easy: Participants are paired up randomly and do a gift art trade with each other. The gifts don't have to be holiday or Christmas themed, you can request anything your partner is comfortable with doing. So if that's something you would be interested in taking part in, then please feel free to sign up and you can be added to the list.

Who can join in? While the event is open to any kind of illustrator, a couple of years ago we did make it open to writers, handcraft artisans, photographers, and 3D artists (basically anyone who can create something). It can be tricky to fulfill some wishes, but it was really neat seeing artisans creating items like homemade scarves for their partners, photographers taking special shots for theirs, even writers creating short stories or scripts.

What is this event for? Its all in the spirit of giving to fellow artists, having fun and being sociable. Oftentimes its a great opportunity to make new friends and get to know random artists you might not have seen or spoken with before.

Now here's the thing: Signup is only open until November 25th, 2012 - that means there's currently only about a week left to put  your name on that list! If you have any questions, the signup blog (linked below) is also a good place to leave them.
