Show Them You Love Them Contest - UPDATES

*Ruffian2001:iconRuffian2001: reports, 2d 50m ago
The "Show Them You Love Them contest" is to benefit and raise awareness for the abused and unwanted animals you find in shelters worldwide. We are trying to help show the DA community the love that we pet owners have for our animals, and the pain and desolation of those lonely few who roam the streets without love and affection. This contest is open to everyone, whether you have an animal or not, and has two divisions: Amateur and Professional. Though it is photography (petography to be more specific) only! The Grand Prize is a 3 year subscription, monetary donations to humane societies within North America, a free print, 3 news articles and nearly 40 journal features!

This contest has received a fantastic amount of acclaim and has been sponsored by multiple clubs within the DA community! Please love this article if you support this contest and help spread the word by advertising in your journal! Even if you only get 3 or 4 page views per day, it can still make a difference in this contest!

Clichés: A Lit Contest!

~MeadowCress:iconMeadowCress: reports, August 30, 2007
A cliché (from French) is a phrase, expression, or idea that has been overused to the point of losing its intended force or novelty, especially when at some time it was considered distinctively forceful or novel. The term is generally used in a negative context.

Clichés, we all avoid them like the plague (an excellent example of a cliché by the way), but can you make them mean something again? Make us laugh, cry or sigh form old phrases like "There is no place like home", "Love is blind" and "Money doesn't grow on trees"

Want to enter but can't remember a good/bad enough cliché? Here are some sites that might help you out:

- Clichésite.com [link]

I have a question:
What we have to write is sth that will contain a literal meaning of a cliche phrase? For example for "Love is blind" one could write a funny story about Love that gets blinded by a punch in the eye or write sth that'll contain the mataphorical meaning, for instance 2 lovers thet ignore each other's drawbacks for the sake of love?
