Hey all,

I decided to pass this along as it is in the same basic spirit of open source with the attitude of doing something for a cause greater than one's self (our global community). Recently there was a contest held on DeviantART to promote breast cancer awareness and early prevention that was sponsored by DeviantART, MGM (yes, the studio), and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation. With over 1,400 submissions spanning all kinds of art forms imaginable, the Grand Prize Winner chosen was by one of our Inkscapers on DA (and yes she used Inkscape for this), Loraine A. Baird, aka QuicheLoraine.

The competition results are here (which contains a link to her winning entry, but also shows a few runners up for reference): http://news.deviantart.com/article/66804/

And her gallery which contains quite a bit of excellent work done in inkscape can be seen here: http://quicheloraine.deviantart.com/gallery/

Congratulations to her, and if you have a DA account it would be nice to drop by and leave her a comment.

Cheers, Josh
