11 Things I Love About dAdeviantART has served us for 11 years already and, no matter when we joined, it definitely changed something for every one of us. Some of us have found friends, others received inspiration to create or improve their skills, or experienced changes in many different personal aspects as well.
So why don't we take a moment for dA's 11th birthday to write a list of 11 things we love about dA? How did it help us? Did it make us grow as artists? Is it fun? What did it get you addicted to?
Your entry can be sincere and profound, as well as silly and fun - it's up to you!
You can only submit one entry, and you have an entire week to submit your list to Contests > 2011 > 11th Birthday Contests > 11 Things I Love about dA. This gallery will be closed on the 7th of August 2011 11:59pm (PDT) and we'll be rewarding the best entries in the after-party!

Seniority Announcement - 11th Birthday EditionThis article celebrates our latest additions of Senior members in our community.
:faq29:
So what does it take to become a Senior? That's a question many have asked and have never really been able to get a straight answer on. Some have gained Seniority as a thank you for their time spent as a Volunteer, or to recognise their contribution to a particular project or collaborative action. Some have gained Seniority because of their community spirit, providing help and assistance to many other deviants and taking time out to promote the work of others in the community.
Some people have received Seniority because of their artistic endevours, having a positive influence on their peers by sharing resources, providing constructive criticism and by being a voice that stands out above the many others who deviate to be recognised in the crowd.
Today, we present to you the following deviants who have all been awarded Seniority as part of our 11th birthday celebrations. They have all been nominated

Recently, I announced changes to Daily Deviations in this journal and I'm happy to say that the response has been favorable. To review, we have made the following changes:
a> The "3-month rule" is now the "6-month rule" meaning an artist cannot receive another DD if they have had one in the last 6 months.
b> Daily Deviation selectors are limited to a maximum of one selection per day. This has been put in place to focus on quality vs quantity.
The hard-coding of these new guidelines is now in place (special thanks to $ZombieCoder for that

).
These changes are part of an ongoing initiative to better our Dai

$fourteenthstar's Celebrating Devious

Skribble Contest: Let's Get Creative! Tweet

A mere eleven years ago, deviantART met its humble beginnings. Since that time, we've grown to be the world's largest online art community, but even a site as massive and established as deviantART had to start somewhere. We never forget those few small sparks that launched deviantART to be where it is today, and that's what we're celebrating during our birthday season.

For this year's community event, we're embracing the idea of starting small and creating something amazing from just a few quick sketches. We've started this work for you and challenge you to finish it with the pizzazz that only the best art community in the world co

deviantART's 11th BirthdAy: Let's Celebrate! Tweet

August 7th, 2011 marks deviantART's 11th birthdAy, but in true devious style, we're taking a whole week to celebrate! Our original plans for Deviants Appreciation Day were so huge that there was no possible way to express our love for the community in a mere 24 hours. Instead, we've created Deviants Appreciation Week, and what better time to host a week's worth of community-oriented events than in the days leading up to our birthdAy?

Each day this week, we have something special organized for you to participate in! Check out the schedule of events below to come party with us!

The Absurd Spot

By ^Thiefoworld and his +1

Before we get into the hardcore news selling, we sent ^Thiefoworld, one of our interviewers, on a quest; to find a senior member to do an interesting interview full of useful facts and share the knowledge with the community... unfortunately for us, this is all we have:

`catluvr2

Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?

I honestly don't know, I don't drive. But if I were to guess, I'd say that it's because you don't want to wake the neighbors.

What would Geronimo say if he jumped out of an airplane?

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

If you could ban any deviant for whatever reason, why would you do it?

I dunno... do I have to say what deviant I'd ban? I'd ban some because they're already banned, it would be interesting to see ‼ by a deviant's name.

Congratulations! You're the newest member of the Power Rangers! What color would you be?

Purple? idk.

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

No, that would a DOES NOT COMPUTE....
