DeviantART Asks What Does Love Mean?

DeviantART is hosting an art contest for the August 7 opening of PAPER HEART. DeviantART’s millions of members will have a chance to have their work judged by the film’s director, Nicholas Jasenovec, and win prizes worth over $2,500.

PAPER HEART, an Overture Films release, follows Charlyne Yi (Knocked Up) as she embarks on a quest to obtain answers about the nature of love and ultimately discovers a kindred spirit in Michael Cera (Juno, Superbad).

DeviantART.com is the largest community of artists ever assembled, with over 10 million members and attracting over 26 million unique visitors per month. Artists on deviantART participate in a vibrant social network environment submitting more than 100,000 daily uploads of original art ranging from traditional media such as painting and sculpture, to digital art, films and anime.

The theme of the contest focuses on the many paths to romance, asking, “What does love mean to me?”. Participating artists are challenged to make a poster on that theme and based on the PAPER HEART’s marketing materials and trailer.

Heather Wetzler, deviantART’s Vice-president of Advertising said: “It’s a great privilege to have Nick Jasenovec judge the contest entries and PAPER HEART is exactly the kind of quirky independent effort that meshes with deviantART and its users.”

The contest is open to U.S. residents who are registered members of deviantART. Membership is free.
