Why was my submission declined?

There can be a number of reasons:

Your artwork was submitted to the wrong folder. (> This happens in 90% of cases!! Please read our guide regarding categories)
Your submission to "featured" was declined because we didn't find it suitable.
Your artwork is too perverted/demoralizing or contains to heavy content.
Your submission was a photograph, traditional work, literature, journal or a WIP.
Your artwork was not created through a digital programm or was tagged as traditional. It MUST be digital!
Your artwork has unsightly watermarks that deface the intended image.

More Policies & Basic admin rules

"Advertise Space" Policy:

We do not accept or allow: 
- Mature, overly sexual content, porn & gore 
- No unruly behaviour!

Feature/ Poll /Journal Policy:

Please be aware that our Features (includes the Featured Folder as well), Polls and Journals might be subjective.
It's content is chosen by our founder and admins and might not satisfy your personal tastes.


It's content might be chosen by: skill level, colors and lighting, theme and so on... The reasons are endless...
We do not focus on popularity and it's never a criteria for choosing an artwork!

Also it does NOT mean we disrespect/ don't like your artwork just because it's not featured.

We look for very tasteful and eye catching pieces, we think our members would like to see.
Please also respect that we might not be able to satisfy every single members personal tastes!
Suggestions for our journals/polls are very welcome, but final changements only will be made,
if your suggestion is accepted by more than 50% of the admins.

Below are the basic admin rules which are followed by our team.
If there is an issue or admins don't follow them,
please report them and make a screenshot to prove it.

 

1. Manners:

Be polite! If an admin is acting rude, please report immediately. In addition, do not be rude yourself!
Admins can and will block you from the group if your behaviour is unruly.

2. Erotic images/Pornography:

This is art that is clearly meant to be sexual, whether it only accentuates certain body parts or fully depicts a sexual act.
This includes suggestive material such as panty shots, nipples, people touching themselves, hinted rape, having sex with other humans
or species, over-exaggerated privates, etc. Our group doesn't accept them, full stop.
We also do not accept furry, MLP, etc. porn. If the original production was intended for children, WE DON'T WANT TO SEE PORN OF IT.

3. Blood and gore policy:

If there's a small amount of blood in the artwork, that's NOT a problem. What we are concerned about is gore -
lots of blood, a person's insides hanging out, Organs heavy weapons/crime and so on - and other heavy and
offensive content. Our admins are allowed to decline them without comment or feedback.


If there are questions or issues please contact the Founder or Co-Founders. Thank you!

If you submitted accidentally or made a mistake, you still can withdraw your    DA's Category System: Help and ExplanationsHey there!
Your Artwork got declined when you tried to submit it to a group?
Your artworks categories might be the reason!  

You might be confused or unsure about Deviant Arts Category System &
how you should categorize your artwork.



 Explanation & Help: 
Every artwork you're uploading at DA, needs to be categorized. 

You're able to choose between a lot of different categories and subcategories. 

Be careful now and rethink: "What is my artwork? What is it about?
Main question: What would be the best and most correct categorization for my artwork?" 

Groups usually sort your artwork by the categories YOU have chosen while uploading it at Devian    Your work was declined? Read THIS Guide! :)Your Artwork was declined?
Well, there might be a good reason for it.
