In this contest, I want to feature and thank the very talented people who create wonderful 3d-content for us ~ the 3d-art vendors. I have great respect and admiration for their talent, work ethic, and general awesomeness!
On a Break
For those interested, here are the past winners.
If you want announcements of site events and winners, follow us on Facebook.
Thank you very much for all your condolences and well wishes.
For those who did not see in my previous posting, I just lost my best (furry) friend to cancer. It is a terrible thing to suddenly lose someone that you spend so much time with every day, creating light and happiness. I am still trying to muddle through this, so I will be taking a break from posting new contests for a while.
Hopefully, we will be back soon. Thank you to all for participating, viewing, posting comments, as well as for your positive energy and support. The Daz Studio community is totally awesome and I hope everyone stays safe in these very difficult times. Big hugs to you all.
May there be light in this darkness.
If you have ideas on how to improve the contest or other fun contests you would like to see, please let us know in the comments section below. If there are vendors you would like us to feature, also let us know.

Hope you kinda like it!
Had to do a smaller image and the first one became just too big a file! LOL!
I love your articles and this contest. Congrats on a great site. I’ve entered a few times in the past and will have few for this month. I even got and honorable mention a while back – surprised the hell out of me.
Starting last month though, I’ve been having problems reading the site. It loads, but some of the text keeps disappearing, usually about which vendors can be used. I just spent a great deal of time doing some images based on the Karyssa Pro Bundle I just got as a belated Xmas present. You can imagine my consternation when when I came to the site today to see if the January winners were posted and found that Karyssa was not listed as a qualifying item. I know I’m getting old, I’m 68, and can have a certain amount of senior events, but I KNEW I saw it before.
Got my son to look into it for me. He has a degree in computer science, codes games, web sites, etc. He found that you site is riddled with tracker tags to all the links on the page. Sample below:
Karyssa 8
My adblocker/anti tracking software does not like this! The page becomes messed up which it would appear to cause the missing text.
Here are two such locations:
January started with some great sales on some of my favorite vendors including Stonemason, , and . This allowed me to pick up many items that have been on my wishlist.
The newly released Owen 8 and will also qualify.
As you can see in the first instance only Stonemason is listed and in the second only Owen 8 is listed.
Please fix your site and remove the trackers. Or at least warn visitors that such items exist and may mess up the page.

Hi this is my first time entering your contest. I am not sure if the tag took or not?
https://www.daz3d.com/gallery/#images/495421/
Pretty sure it won’t do it, don’t put it as a comment but in the tag section 🙂
I put it in the tag section, when I search in the gallery for
shiba-12-17 I see my image listed so hoping it’s correct now.

Yeah, that works! Looking good!
Hi
I am trying to reach the creators of the Shiba Shake web site.
Your site is beyond incredible; I had been considering getting a Shiba Inu and the outstanding experiences and guidance you shared were instrumental in my wife and I getting one for our 20th anniversary.
I notice with sadness that you appear to not be updating the site any longer with new content.
I hope all is well on your end.
My name is Glenn and I live in Miami, Florda.
We have a 5-month old cream Shiba named Casper who we got at 12 weeks from a breeder in Missouri. He came to us fully potty trained, but afraid of everything and has thrived with many suggestions from your site.
I hope to hear from you!
Hello Glenn, Thank you very much for your message. Congratulations on your Shiba Inu and big big hugs to Casper.
Yeah, I have been spending more time with my pups, so have less time for my websites. 🙂 Time with them is very precious. Happy New Year to you all!
Thank you Sixus for the freebie 🙂
Oh so many great vendors this Month too, I hope things will calm down so I can participate this Month.
Ah and you might want to change the Month from November to December.
Changed! Thank you very much for pointing it out and Happy Holidays! 😀
I’ve noticed that days after the end of the month and prior to your announcement of the winners of that previous month’s contest, there are those who are posting/tagging entries for that month (e.g., It’s September but people were still posting entries well after August 31 for the August contest). Is that allowable. I’m just curious because there are times when I would like to enter but missed what I perceived as the deadline.
Thanks.
The end date for submissions is the end of the month. After that, the judges start their process and mail me the results. To be fair, we filter out entries that do not qualify when/if we detect them. Most of all, we hope that this is a fun event for everyone. 😀
Ohh that’s going to be a tough choice with all the great vendors.
Question ? It says that Michael 8 qualifies, does that mean we can choose a vendor AND M8 or if choosing M8 we can’t choose a favorite vendor ?
LOL that was a lot of using the word choose in one sentence, hope my question makes sense.
Btw shouldn’t it say featured vendors for September instead of August ?
A vendor AND M8 – 😀
Yeah should be September. Thank you much and updated.
Awesome, thank you. Now I just have to make up my mind about which Vendor I want to use items from 😀
“Winners will be announced at around the 10th of the month.”
Does this mean that (for example) the August contest ends August 10th?
Heh, 10th of the following month. Updated.
Sweet! Still time to get in on it!
Just thought you might want to know that the June Contest Banner still says “Featured Vendors for May 2017”. 😉
Having lots of fun regardless of what the banner says.
Opps! Thanks for letting me know. 🙂
