Fanime was amazing but it totally left me sick for weeks 
after I got better, I went through the letters I got and found one that had nothing but $20 and a note describing one of my posters. It looked like someone made a mistake and accidentally gave me their money without getting a poster. I want to return that money so If it was you, please e-mail me at Yuumei.yan@gmail.com with your name and address.
"VECTOR YOUR CHRISTMAS" CONTEST!
Because deviantART is so multicultural and diverse with members from every corner of the earth, this contest is meant to show everyone how YOU celebrate Christmas!! Perhaps you're from a part of the world that has heaps of snow, or, like myself, come from somewhere that celebrates Christmas during it's Summer time, or somewhere in between. Maybe you and your family have a special tradition that you do every year that you can share with us! So whether you're roasting chestnuts on an open fire or throwing another shrimp on the barbie, show us, in vector, how you celebrate this festive season!
What is Vector Art?
Taken from `ChewedKandi's definition, because there's no better!
In digital art there are two layer formats: raster and vector. Raster formats are based in pixels and vector is based in paths and points.
When you resize a raster image, you are expanding the pixels. Your program has to try to estimate what the colours would be for the additional pixels created. Due to this, the image loses it's clarity and creates a pixel effect.
When you resize a vector image, you are increasing the distance between the points. Due to this, the image doesn't lose it's clarity and doesn't pixellate.
The key element of vector is that it's infinitely scalable without any quality loss and it's why we love it!
