The November Art Contest (in tandem with the November Poetry Contest) will be to honor Tolkien's love of trees... You are invited to present your version of the Ents and/or Fangorn. An exciting addition to this contest is that not only will your work be shown here at Tolkien's Ring, it will also be showcased on Tolkien Entmoot thanks to the generosity of our Poetry Bard Fangorn! *Submissions for this contest will have a unique set of rules though* Both poetry and art submissions, will, by nature of their submissions, allow both TR and TE exclusive property rights to display the content (with creditation of course) on either web site. This does not mean you do not hold sole ownership of your own work, it just allows our sites to display them. By entering this contest, you agree to the above agreement. In no way, shape or form does anyone other than the named sites have permission to reproduce your work without your consent. Additional rule... You may use any media including computer generated images but must be original work and not altered photos from the movie. So join us and have FUN! "I talk to the trees
But they don't listen to me"

This was done in watercolor. What would Fangorn Forest be without a visit from Merry and Pippin? Here is Treebeard escorting the hobbits as they s-t-r-i-d-e through his beloved homeland. This is my official entry. |

Well..... I guess I did read the directions for this contest correctly the first time.....It IS about Ents or Fangorn Forest. On second reading, I was thinking that this contest was to celebrate Tolkien's love of trees and that any art on any tree could be submitted! So.....I prepared The Two Trees of Valinor to submit.   Laurelin and Telperion These are not my official entry. They are just for fun. |

Good News!
After thinking about how crazy, nutty my Thanksgiving week has been, I have decided to extend the art contest deadline until Dec 5th.
So everyone, get your trees on!!! ;D

Just for some inspiration, here is a lovely plaque our own Majah made. Think YOUR Ent poetry and picture together on a similar plaque!  |

P.S. There will be no art contest for December but TR can use some Holiday inspired art for our store items and greeting cards...so please contact me if you are interested! hmm, I hesitate to ask this and feel free to tell me it ain't possible, but... I was thinking of trying to do something for the next art contest (I've been taking drawing at school and would like to push myself to continue to work), but homework is often in contention with other projects. I will have winter break for the last half of December and possibly some time to work on something. Is it possible to tell us what the next category would be for January and I could maybe get a head start? There seems to me lots of reasons why you wouldn't be able to do this, so fear not if you must say no. But I thought it was worth an ask.  |

Oops! I ahve been working at a temporary job the last 2 weeks so I missed my deadline!!! I had thought about swapping out my other Ent for this one...But oh well here it is just so you can see it, it is the same ent just cropped to only see the eyes and then I added Isengard into the pupils... In the Eyes of an Ent And here is my Little Frodo's quickbeam... |
