You've probably heard the saying "A picture is worth 1,000 words." many, many times. But have you ever truly seen it in context? Sure an image can be "pretty" or "breath-taking", but have they ever truly spoken to you, so that you can see the story the artist is telling?

The goal of this contest is to produce an image that tells a story. Whether it pulls at the heart-strings or takes you on the adventure of your life, we want a story that can be read in the universal language of art.

The image must contain an equine.
One entry per-person, but you may replace entries if you feel you have created a better one.
Must be uploaded to your deviantArt account, and include the stock providers' credits.
We require that your submission is new, and intended only for this contest.
Please do not use premade horses. That is the equivalent of cheating, just slapping a horse onto a background.

You have about 2 months to complete an entry and send it in. The contest ends April 7th, 2012

Judging will be based upon creativity, technique, and of course, the strength of the story interpreted from within the image.
Send in your entries via NOTE so we don't lose your entry within the comments. Title the note "Contest Entry"
