...and the contest is closed! Thanks everyone for the entries, judging will commence now. 
Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the #communityrelations sponsored deviantART Related Collaborations Contest 
Where you have six weeks to work together on any work in the dA related category. A quick overview;
I announced the deviantART Related Collaborations Contest about two months ago, and during the time it ran, received about twenty different, amazing entries! As every entry was in some way a collaboration between two or more people (and some entered more than once), that means about 35 people participated altogether. It was great to see so many people, often from different mediums and areas of the site come together to collaborate and create something together. 
Thanks so much to every single participant 
Also be warned, I link to many informative articles by `ginkgografix since she was the volunteer before me and created many useful articles about dA related

Inspi(RED) to End AIDS2 in 1 bandwagon to promote (RED) and do it in a holiday charms!
What started as *Topicality's community project promotion of (RED)'s QUILT2015 and last year's rave avatars by `CookiemagiK, quickly spread into other deviants to a jumble of (RED) avatars and rave avatars!
AND (RED)ave avatars 
Community bandwagon project
Have an AIDS free generation by 2015!
The community project (RED) is doing is an "online quilt" where people can have a patch and to join the quilt you have to make a pledge to somehow help get a generation free of AIDS by 2015 as it is HIGHLY likely to be the case as long as people donate to the cause!
Everyone is free to join!
Don't' know what the organization (RED) is? Click here to find out.
Right now 1000 people are born with HIV according to (RED), a very sad statistic.

It's the holiday seasons now! Why not bring an old deviantART favourite bandwagon back do the hokey pokey and rave all about? And support (red) with it
Last December, a project that turned into a bandwagon by `CookiemagiK would become Raver's and would wear a customized 
avatar with 330 raving avatars!

).
). So this year, `Endorell-Taelos decided to revive the Raves project again!
Those who were around last December can use theirs, but those who want to make new ones or have just come to the Raves Party can make new ones.
Here are the instructions on how to do it
Download this template and cut out/separate the layers and frames. Each frame has 2 layers. The ravesplz layer, and the snow layer. Add the ravesplz layer, customize it, and then add the snow/decoration layer on top! Do this for all 14 frames!
OR if you are an emoticonist and have an Emote OC, =Indae has an emote base avatar .PSD (works with Gimp) template to download here: 
If you want to do both in terms of avatar, you can always use avatar as your avatar! 
avatar as your avatar! So let's see how many can become (RED) and rave all around!
