Welcome to the (Unofficial) DeviantART Awards

Nominations for the following categories are open between April 1st - April 20th. You may nominate anyone eligible for that category via note. You may not nominate yourself. Please include the :dev : code in your nomination.

The categories have been divided randomly between the 12 months of the year, so if you want to know what categories are open each month please use the links in the sidebar. To see a full (and organised by gallery) list of award categories please see the front page of this account.

If you would like to donate prizes for the winners please note this account, at this time there is no set prize for the winners apart from the use of the title and the award image (provided by ~RockLou).

This account is run by a small team of people... and we're not telling who!


IF your name has a strike through it please note this account with the information required. I.e. the film, emote etc.

Please do not be alarmed if your name is in BOLD, it is a reminder to the team that this person has not yet been sent a note to tell them they have been nominated.
