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 3rd round, please feel free to comment on the entries (strongly encouraged, so we can all learn. For a start, I'd do it too, but keep in mind my voice doesn't equal to every judge's).

Comment: Judging was really not easy at all. The criteria we looked for included originality, creativity, execution. I received notes along the lines of "Why did this or that piece win, they aren't original at all". Please understand that while originality counts, it doesn't equal to 100% of the judging criteria. I'm sure not everyone agree with the results, but let's focus less on the the ranking and winners and be more constructive and helpful towards each other. ^^

The point of these challenges are to encourage and challenge you to create. We aren't getting paid to do this, in fact we're forking out our own money from our savings and earnings, and shedding time from our sleep to organize, update. Least anyone can do is to give us a grain of respect we deserve rather than blaming us for how you feel that you or someone else should have won.

Sorry for the rant, much much thanks for everyone's participation, without you it won't be possible and meaningful. I really hope you'd benefited from this challenge. See you next round!
