DeviantArt also hosts contests for upcoming films such as Riddick. Fan art for Riddick was submitted, and director David Twohy chose the winners, who would receive cash prizes and other DeviantArt-related prizes, as well as having their artwork made into official fan-art posters for events.
A similar contest was held for Dark Shadows, with winners receiving cash and other prizes.
Contests with DeviantArt are also held by video games, such as the 2013 Tomb Raider contest. The winner’s artwork was made into an official print that was sold internationally at the Tomb Raider store, and they also received cash and other prizes.
Other winners received cash and DeviantArt-related prizes as well. Over 358 million images have been uploaded to the site by its over 35 million registered members. By July 2011, DeviantArt had grown to become the largest online art community.
