I've organized the first official ASCII/ANSI contest on DeviantART. The theme of the contest
is "Non-Existent" and there are categories for both ASCII and ANSI entries. The prizes
include subscriptions to DeviantART and the Dark Domain DVD from ACiD Productions (a huge
collection of artpacks, diskmags and other digital art related stuff). You have to be a
member of DeviantART to participate, but you can join for free (there are paid
subscriptions available, but membership doesn't cost anything). Even outside of the contest
DA offers submission categories for ASCII and ANSI. We also have a regular news post called
TextCanvas which features the best of textmode art.

As you can see the article hasn't generated that much interest yet, but it has been set
as a Hot Topic, which will eventually post it to the "inboxes" of all ~2 million DeviantART
members. Currently there's just a bug with this feature and it hasn't shown up properly yet,
hence the lack of exposure (and thus comments). But there's still plenty of time left, as the
contest closes on the 25th of November.
