RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE VOL 8Hello, everyone! :wave:
RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE is a weekly feature usually published by the wonderful `JamminJo. She writes it to recognize one artist that stands out within our deviantART community. The deviant she selects must be outstanding and caring about others in the community, and the community itself!
Jo believes it's important to recognize outstanding deviants for their time and dedication. We also believe it's important and we think `JamminJo meets the description. Therefore we are posting a special holiday edition of RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE in order to recognize Jo herself!

From =xXCALIBUR:
`JamminJo was so kind when I first met her on DeviantArt. Not only is she a helpful, generous, warm-hearted deviant, but she has a lovely gallery! She has only been on DeviantArt for a year and a half and has such an impact on other devian
Updates to the New Submit Page, Journal ThumbnailsUpdates to the New Submit Art Page (Available to some Beta Testers)
Please note: The new Submit Art page is being A/B tested -- meaning that we're comparing the effectiveness of two different versions of the feature. If you're a Beta Tester, there's a 50% chance you'll either see the new or old version of the Submit Art page. This is expected behavior and there's no way to switch between the two groups.
Integration of Prints Submission
The Prints submission menu has been incorporated into the Submit page! This change makes for a complete integration of the submission process, allowing you to upload, submit, and sell your art, all in one process, all from one page. 

Remember These Settings
A checkbox has been added to the bottom of the Submit page that, when selected, will retain the settings you use for your submission, and then apply them to the next file you sub
Run your own Community Project!Edit: I am no longer looking after Community Projects. For now please contact $Moonbeam13 instead. If you're interested in this position, see A New Community Volunteer Vacancy :)
Did you know that everyone on deviantART can organise a project? :eager: Some examples of current projects can be found here. Do you want to raise awareness for a cause? Start a contest or group? Make people participate in something fun and artistic? Make it happen!
Now, you can do this all on your own - but the dA staff and volunteers are here to help you with it, too :) This is a major part of my role as Volunteer for Community Projects, in particular. So if you would like some help, please send me, ^namenotrequired, a note!
Not sure how to organise it? Want some more exposure f
Everyday we're CV'ingAs a Community Volunteer - I do as much or as little within the community that I feel comfortable doing. We're not pressured to do this and that, we don't even have to give a Daily Deviation every day, we choose how we promote our selected galleries/chats and forums and we're not fixed to any specific rule on how much or how little we do. But I do believe that it's important to share with you just what the community volunteers do and why we do it. More importantly it's so easy to get lost on this site full of many people - and miss out on the awesome that's going on. So I'm going to share with you exactly what the latest awesome is...

Almost every week since October last year the Community Volunteers have been working hard both independently and as part of small teams to bring You Project Educate.
Project Educate is about bringing forward art forms whether they are popular or overlooked and giving

No One Should Suffer From Bullying


  It's love and that's all that matters. If you have a friend/relative, don't judge them negatively. Embrace it. You are blessed to know them.  There is nothing wrong with being wonderfully different. Love them for the person they are.
Support them. :tighthug:
It's not shameful.
Being who you are is not shameful.

It's shameful if someone tries to put them down, insult them, judge them. It's shameful that some feel no other way to escape the hurt than to take their own lives.
Words do hurt. It's just as bad if you aren't there to back them up.
Respect people.
Love them. Show them you care. You support them for the

Introducing PE week: Getting the Most out of dAThis week marks the first ever Project Educate week on the topic of "Getting the most out of dA"! For this week I collected a small group of experts on the deviantART community and positive contribution. Together we will present you with articles and happenings, to inspire you and give you an overview of how you can contribute to the deviantART community.
From Monday to Saturday, each day will focus on a different topic. Topics will be introduced in an informative article. Then we'll go into it more in depth with you through interviews with gurus on the subject or through events where you get to experience the fun of contributing.
Then on Sunday we'll recap the entire week not only in a summary of articles but also in a chat event! :party:
Please make sure you're watching #projecteducate to see all our articles and events :eager:

Hey guys!
I updated my DD Suggestion Guidelines last week to reflect what I look for in Daily Deviations. Please be aware they are not rules or guidelines - they're just my preferences. :)
Please read the question I've left at the bottom of the article, I'd love your feedback on the topic. 
Have a great week!

I have a new group that would probably best fit under: Comment Centered, Support/Cause, and Community. The group is #CreateRespect.

I have another group, #deviantChange, that I don't see listed either that should go under Community as well as Support/Cause and Tutorials/Resources (once that category is created).

Also, with the changes made in some of my groups, #deviantHEART and #dAWishingWell should also be listed under Community, and #dAWishingWell may also need to be placed under Commissions/Point-Related.
