*edit*
dA has FINALLY stopped "connection reset"-ing me, or so it seems for today. (Which is what caused the 24 blank journal entries to appear.) Just updating this again for those who missed the results!

The Starock Challenge is a weekly contest divided into 2 categories, Starlite Photo and 2D Rock-Off, rotating between photography and 2D art, each challenge lasts 2 weeks.

I am holding the Photography Challenge, visit and *nJoo for info on the 2D challenge.

Every 2 weeks a new Photography Challenge will begin, with a different topic/theme each time. Each Challenge will run for approximately 10 days. In which all the entries will be posted into one Journal for deviants to view and comment.






Here're the winners for the 2nd round, please feel free to comment (encouraged) on entries.

Comment: Judging was done with a group of judges, we looked for a lot of criteria and it was REALLY hard, even more difficult than the first because there were really so many strong pieces in this round. The criteria we looked for included originality, creativity, execution, and just overall fun and rock factor of the piece. Please do bear with me as we slowly tweak the way judging works, we'll be testing out some part judge part voting system as well. I'm sure not everyone would agree with the result, but let's focus less on the the ranking and winners, I'll continue to try to find the best way of voting. Thanks a billion for everyone's participation. There're a lot of things I'm planning to add for the contest as it progress. Starting with banners, mascot design, more and more prizes~ See you next round!

Entries with submission dates and exif info dated before the 16th of Jun 2008 will not be accepted. Your entry MUST be photographed AFTER this topic was announced.

Why is my entry not listed?

- The note wasn't titled as it was supposed to be, thus I do not know that it is meant for the challenge.
- You submitted more than one entry.
- The photo was submitted/taken before the date this competition was announced.

If you've checked against these guidelines AND the rules and notes at the top of this entry, and did none of the above, then note me again, I might have missed it out in the hundreds of notes and spams. Thank you for your understanding.


Please help spread the word of the contests around, thank you and I look forward to seeing your entries!
