Since it is the season for festivities, we at TRUE thought that we'd do something to celebrate. Not being incredibly original we thought "Why not have a contest?" And then we had a brilliant idea of opening it up to our Alliance mates (Sorry, if your not part of the OT alliance we cannot accept your submissions). So here is the set up:
Well, it'll be a 3 part contest. There will be a Story section, an Art section and a Poetry section. Each entry should have a Wintersday theme. You can make multiple entries, but no more than 2 in each category. This will give those of us with no talent a chance too!
The Story section is a chance for our Fanfic people to exercise their demons. I expect more than a paragraph, but less than a novel. A few hundred words will be fine.
The Art section is for those of us who take more screenshots than can be stored on just one Hard Drive. Create a collage, use your l33t Photoshop skillz, draw us a picture.....whatever your scanner can handle.
The Poetry section is for the poets among us. Please try to stick to classic forms of Rhyme and Meter. Free-form poetry is too hard for my brain to figure out.

Although as stated, you're likely to be penalized for Free Verse because I can't wrap my tiny little mind around it actually being poetry and not just random stuff on a page. I will most likely be judging this category because I won't be entering it. I appreciate poetry, but I suck at creating it. :grin:
We will be judging each section in-house but the best will be put up for a grand prize with the rest of GWO doing the voting to determine the winner.
So, Officially the contest will be starting December first and you have until the last day of the Wintersday celebrations to make your entries. Everyone will have lots of time to think about and plan their entries, so I expect some fabulous choices.
NOTE: We are looking for additional volunteers to help judge the categories. If you're interested, let me know.
