Doroud - I hope you all had a great Norouz!

Competition:

After a year of running this club I have decided to start a competition, hopefully this will help to promote the club and help toward the aim of this club which is to promote Persian culture & art.

Title of the competition is "Persian culture". Please submit your art in any form that is acceptable by deviantART to show a comprehensive or simply fresh view to any part of the Persian and/or Iranian culture.

Rules & terms of the competition:

1- The theme of your piece must be related to Persian culture and\or Iranianism in general.
2- It should follow the general rules of deviantART submissions.

Some ideas to inspire you:

Iranian art (both old & contemporary), Iranian festivals (e.g. Norouz, chahar shanbe soori, etc), Iranian adábo-rosoom (e.g. ta'rof), Persian poetry (e.g. of the famous Persian poets), Iranian food & drinks (e.g. doogh, khoroshts, etc), Iranian religions (Mithraism, Zoroastrianism, Baha'ism, etc), Mysticism (Shahnameh characters and symbols), Warfare (general warfare related), etc.
