Another Universe - Another World contest

Theme:  The year is 3876. You have travelled through the dimensional shift in one of the amazing ships designed by the famous ‘Explorer Inc’ factory in Grande Berlin and entered a parallel universe riddled with galaxies of all forms and sizes. The ship you’re in are something out of this world, a true explorer of the unknown, being almost unknown itself, partly living, partly machine, taking you to territories never visited. And now, in this new universe it seems the worlds waiting to be explored are found in their millions; stars and supernovas, planets and moons, asteroids and strange light phenomena’s are all around you. You decide to do a quick survey of the nearest solar system to see if any life forms might be existing on any of the terrestrial bodies, and if there is life, how advanced is it? The worlds you are about to visit will prove to be something you could never imagine even in your wildest dreams, filled with fantastical sceneries and weird and sometimes dangerous life forms and environments but also full of so much beauty and signs of lost civilisations and ancient relics . Filled with excitement and joy over this unexplored universe, you set out to explore as many worlds and galaxies you can.

Entries:  Your task will be to create one or several artwork/s depicting anything from this travel to a different universe; entering the dimensional shift, the universe itself, the spaceship in which you travel, a solar system, a world you visited on a planet, moon or asteroid, life forms encountered. Anything within the parameters of the above story line is accepted, imagination is the limit.

Deadline: Contest entries are accepted between 3rd of March 2010 until Midnight GMT on the 3rd of June 2010.

The Rules:
:bulletgreen:You must use at least one of my stock photos in your entry/ies. If you don’t know what stock is please read this: help.deviantart.com/217/
:bulletgreen:Your entry must be a new work only, created for this contest and not uploaded to dA before 3rd March 2010.
:bulletgreen:You are allowed unlimited amounts of entries. Consider though that I judge quality, not quantity
:bulletgreen:This contest is open for both traditional and digital media entries as long as it contains my stock in some way. You are allowed to use my stock as reference, but it needs to be clear which stock has been used. (Sorry no photography or written entries allowed.)
:bulletgreen:Send your entry/ies to me by note only.
:bulletgreen:Make sure to credit all stock used and follow the rules that might come with the stock you use.

Judging: I will be judging the entries looking at 3 criteria; creativity (interpretation and idea of your artwork) sticking to the theme and quality (as in well thought through and visible time put in to create your artwork). This means that anyone one who has a good idea for an artwork sticking to the theme and also put in the time, effort and thought into their entry, has an equal chance of winning despite skill level.
