UPDATE
The Hunt has officially ended our glorious huntees will be removing icons (or have been since midnight), hunters still have till tonight 11:59pm EST to get their items in order and send their entries in though! If you have not started you can still try, but there is no guarantee all icons will still be there is all : O
I also want to announce that there will be alternative prizes if for some reason you prefer art over subscription
o@, the prizes affected:
- Grand Prize: 1 YEAR subscription to dA + 250 pts
- OR a fully rendered bust up xOx
- Second Place: 6 Month subscription to dA + 200 pts
- OR a Fullbody sketch w/ simple shading or textures etc.
- Runner Ups: 3 Month subscription to dA (2)
- OR a Halfbody sketch w/ simple shading or textures etc.
Obviously you can pick between them so if you were aiming for subs this doesn't affect you, but if you were for some reason hoping for art here ya go XD
I will be flying out to San Francisco tomorrow, so i will be packing/cleaning today and tomorrow.
I aim to announce winners before or on christmas, so please stay tuned for the announcing journal
o@.
LASTLY, Please do stay safe today. The world is
NOT going to end but some people may do things because "the world is going to end so might as well anyway", that is the only danger so please please be careful if you're heading out or something
o@!

Instructions
Now for exactly what you are doing, please read carefully!
You will be looking for these exact icons hidden in the deviations or deviation descriptions of certain deviant galleries:
They may appear in the description of deviations or the deviation images themselves, or even both. But only each LINK you find counts towards your total!
The galleries you must hunt through belong to these deviants:
Icons found in other deviant galleries do NOT count!
The event officially ends Dec 20th, 11:59pm EST, but you may send entries by Dec 21st 11:59pm EST, however icons will be starting to be removed on the 20th so there is no gaurantee if you wait till the 21st to look for icons.
You must send ME ONE (1) note with the follwing:
- The total number of links you found, ex: 56
- Every link you found listed, preferably the fav.me link!
If you do not have either of these you will not be counted as an entrant! DO NOT send notes as you find links, collect them and send them all at once when you think you've found them all/want to stop.
With that, I wish you
GOOD LUCK! If you have any questions, please check the faq before you leave a comment :3

How do I send my entry?
Only send
ONE entry via
NOTE to me by the 21st (11:59pm EST)
I prefer these links:
While you are looking for the holiday decorations, save the permanent/fav.me links on a word processor (or note pad/similar), when you think you've found them all copy and paste all the links and send them to me in a NOTE
before Dec 21st 11:59pm ESTHow do I find a fav.me link?
Tutorial here:
If i cannot load your link to verify it because you gave a faulty link I will not count it!
Where can decorations be hidden?
They are hidden in individual deviations of the listed huntees either in the deviation image themselves OR the description.
They can be hidden both in a person's main gallery or the subfolders.
They will NOT be hidden inside scraps.
They will NOT be in pages of those who are not huntees.
How many are in each gallery?
Anything between 1 and infinity, there will always be at least one.
Can I share with my friends?
No. That would be cheating. If anyone is caught sharing links they will be disqualified. Even if you were help each other get the same amount of links.. i don't have more points for double the prizes, so it would be a coin toss anyway. Don't ruin the game for others by cheating!
Can I post about the hunt/the icon/questions in the deviations?
No. Do not mention the hunt or the icons in the deviations at all, not only is this spamming the deviation, only I will have answers to any questions so please note me instead! Obviously you also don't want to say anything or else you'll give away the location!
I'm not sure something counts, can I ask you?
Yes, absolutely. Feel free to note me with a link you are not sure about. ****But****, if you see the icon on a deviation page of one of the huntee's and the description does not say this is a SAMPLE PAGE or THIS IS NOT COUNT, then it does count. Don't just send me every link unless you have a reason to be unsure!
I have a question that's not answered here!
By all means leave a comment, I will answer + add it to the faq if it's a common/good question too!
AGAIN if you have any questions not answered here please leave a comment (or note) to ask!
