ALL FUTURE *** *** ANNOUNCEMENTS WILL BE UNDER THE HEADER "TECH" IF YOU WANT *** *** TO FOLLOW THIS AND YOUR FILTERING OUT TECH ... NOW'S THE *** *** TIME TO RESET YOUR TOPIC HEADERS. I'M SORRY IF THIS IS *** *** INCONVENIENT TO ANYONE, BUT I THINK IT'S LESS INCONVENIENT *** *** TO THE MAJORITY, THANK YOUR FOR YOUR TIME AND SPACE. *** ****************************************************************** Okay, I already ran this by tink and was just waiting for the summer spectacular to be over ... are you rested enough? Here it is. Who: You, anyone on the list can enter regardless of artistic ability. What: Contest to create an icon that represents WRITERS. Where: Send all submissions to me < or < Why: To create a visual representation to symbolized WRITERS. How: Written descriptions only, please. *** PLEASE READ THE DETAILS *** Contest to create an icon that represents WRITERS. Submit a detailed description (what it looks like, colors of specific objects, etc.) of a crest, icon, image, logo, whatever you want to call it. If your an artist, kewl ... however, it is not feasible to send a .gif to everyone so please submit a detailed description to me instead of a visual rendition. If the winner is an artist their visual rendition will be the one used. If the winner is not an artist, I will PAY for a visual rendition to be created. WRITERS members who are artists will have first dibs at rendering the winning logo into the visual medium. Send all written submissions to me personally and I will repost them to the list so that submissions are anonymous (just like the summer contest). Submissions sent to the list will be automatically disqualified. Voting will take place in November after the Halloween contest results are in and finalized. There are NO voting restrictions other than the obvious (you can only vote once) ... vote however you feel period. Whether it's for your own submission or anothers I will not restrict the democratic process. First Prize: A framed original rendition of your winning design. (Due to the cost involved ... even just having it custom framed ... this will be the only physical prize. Everyone else of course will receive honorable mention. I will also arrange for the image to be scanned and sent to tink for the homepage plus forward it to everyone who wants a copy. If you do not have the ability to receive a .gif/.jpg electronically or web browsing capability we can negotiate a snail mail sending. I will be creating a web page with the contest specifics, entries to date, etc. and providing tink with the address so he can link to it. I will also post a weekly update with the rules and since the entries are small I will send them out each week too under one header. If you have any questions or suggestions please send them to me. I will be happy to make the above more clear if I've missed anything or garbled it in anyway. regards, Anthony < http://members.tripod.com/~jackechs/
