Use Your Art to Help Save a Species!


Last year, over 400 people participated in the International Cheetah Day Challenge on December 4th to help raise awareness and help save the cheetah!  This year we have even more planned as we approach the big event.  Read on to learn all about what's in store for ICDC 2013!
  

What is the International Cheetah Day Challenge?


Bullet; Yellow The International Cheetah Day Challenge (ICDC) is the day when all of us use our art to raise awareness about this endangered species and maybe even raise money for the cause!  The idea behind the challenge is that deviantART's front page will be filled with cheetah-themed art for one day, and through this people will be made aware of the plight of the cheetah.
Bullet; Blue To get involved, all you must do is submit cheetah-themed artwork to deviantART on December 4th, which is International Cheetah Day!  See details below.
Bullet; Yellow You can also help by promoting this challenge to others on deviantART in any way you can!  People who do so will be featured in the ICD journal on December 4th.

Together we can make a difference!
