Show Them You Love Them Contest!

*Ruffian2001:iconRuffian2001: reports, 2d 30m 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, or to show 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. The Grand Prize is a 2 year subscription, free print, 3 news articles and 31 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!

The Worst of the Holidays

`WineWriter:iconWineWriter: reports, November 25, 2007
:holly:The Worst of the Holidays:holly:

The holidays are about appreciation, good will, and kindness. But the holidays just aren’t the same, old fashioned, presents-around-the-tree time. This contest will be held in honor of all the money-grabbing scrooges of the holidays, and how we manage to salvage the spirit of the holiday regardless.

We understand: bah, humbug and all that. What can we do?

We challenge you to write prose piece or a poem about the worst part of the holiday season, whether that be commercialization, that line you had to stand in for an hour, or the seven-hour drive through sleet and snow to visit your least favorite aunt. Meanwhile, and here’s the fun part, remember the holiday spirit. Happy and sentimental endings get extra brownie points.

What are the rules?

:bulletgreen: All submissions should be written for this contest, from the first draft of you masterpiece, to the last one
:bulletgreen: One submission per person
:bulletgreen: A link to the news article or to my contest journal should be added to the description of your entry
:bulletgreen: Deviation should avoid all those iffy things that make judges' brains implode

** Decisions regarding word count and subject propriety are left to the writer

Never argue with an idiot. They'll only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I'll have a go. Sounds like a lot of fun. :)

Whenever I see dialogue written without proper ending punctuation, I reach for my gun.
Then I realize that I don't actually have a gun; instead, I've simply grabbed my spare toothbrush
:iconwinewriter:
It will be. :D

I recently heard about a mass murderer who killed seventeen people in three days... they say he was a loner. Well, of course he was. He apparently killed everyone he came in contact with!

:icontigerruby:
I am still a little bit confused. Does it have to be in the style of a poem or can it be like a story?

It can be either a poem or a story. Or a play, even. Be creative with it :)
