is hosting is to hold a series of Contests to be based on the concept of the 7 Deadly Sins

~ Lust
~ Wrath
~ Greed
~ Sloth
~ Pride
~ Envy
~ Gluttony

The theme will run across 7 contests, each dealing with one of the Sins.

The first Contest will focus on:

LUST

Lust or lechery is usually thought of as excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature. Aristotle's criterion was excessive love of others, which therefore rendered love and devotion to God as secondary. In Dante's Purgatorio, the penitent walks within flames to purge himself of lustful/sexual thoughts and feelings. In Dante's "Inferno", unforgiven souls of the sin of lust are blown about in restless hurricane like winds symbolic of their own lack of self control to their lustful passions in earthly life.

Congratulations to all who entered and keep up the great work!!!

The rules:

1- Be one of the first 10 people commenting on this journal entry, and I will add you to the Promotional List (...if I ever get there - I don't have that many watchers! )

2- For each of those 10 people I will put their avatar and three deviations I like from their gallery on the list.

3- If I feature you, you'll have to do the same in your journal, putting me on the first place, completing this way the list with 15 people.

The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone!
