This is the official voting thread of the deviantopia elections.
How to vote: We use an at-large parliamentarian electoral system. That means each deviant has five (5) votes with no more than one (1) vote per candidate to cast to fill five (5) seats. Or, if a deviant wishes, he or she may vote for less than five candidates. If a deviant votes for more than five (5) candidates, then only the top five will be counted. A deviant may choose to vote for each candidate specifically or do a party vote.
For candidate votes: -list the candidates you wish to vote for in order of preference, with 1 being favourite and 5 being least favourite. Preferences will be used in the event of a tie.
For party votes: -simply vote for the party itself. Preferences will appear based on the order they appear on the ballot. If a party has more than five candidates, only the top five candidates as they appear on the ballot will be counted. If a party has less than five candidates feel free to add candidate votes below.
All votes must be in reply to the election thread, and not to any other comment. Otherwise they will not be counted. If I, the elections officer, deem a vote to be electoral fraud, i will discount that vote.

I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
