CONTEST THEME

A tree is not just a plant. It is a symbol. Almost every nation has myths and legends about trees, placing the tree as the central axis of the world, or worshipping it as a dwelling place of gods or spirits, the giver of knowledge, connection between worlds or as ancestors of the tribe. The form of a tree can be an expression of many thoughts and feelings.

In this contest, we ask you to choose a concept, and express it through the form of a tree. It can be a real mythological concept, like the
Tree of Life , Tree of Knowledge , World Tree :thumb177217930:...

You can also choose a non-mythological concept: Love, Beauty, Death, Courage, Wishes...
There are no borderes to your fantasy, as far as it is expressed through a tree. There can be a Tree of Marshmallows, or Tree of Fridays. It's only up to you and your imagination.
