The laced hand of one Lacysliplover tunes the radio this month to find the next station. But a couple of things before we start listening.
To find a list of all of the stations, go to the following url - https://rachelshaven.com/forum/index.php?topic=113246.msg864736#msg864736 (https://rachelshaven.com/forum/index.php?topic=113246.msg864736#msg864736).
Let's do the tuning and we got 91.9 - KTYN and by the sound of things it is nostalgia music (I was a little surprised what was included in that and I would recommend watching the video for inspiration because the outfits are beautiful). The song that is playing is...OneRepublic's - All The Right Moves.
The url for the video is https://youtu.be/qrOeGCJdZe4?si=XafflS33bb9G0yVk
Give it a listen and the key thing is to have fun and be creative!!!
1- 12 entries - winner gets one cap
13-20 entries - winner gets two caps
21-30 entries - winner gets three caps and the runner-up gets one cap.
Yes the more entries, the more request caps you may get, on top of the award of course.
Rules:
The rules have changed from last month (see above for the new rule.) There is an open discussion. I want it to stay a civil discussion too. Basically, instead of voting on 3 places, you will vote on only 2. First place will get something special in addition to the award. If a tie occurs a secret panel of judges will be contacted and the tie will be broken.
- You can make up to 2 contest submissions. Please make a separate topic for each unique caption.
- You can use up to as many panels you want. It is recommended to keep in around 3 panels of any pictures or drawings to tell your story.
- Do NOT reuse the same picture for more than one caption.
- Use any transformation method [magic, technology, chemical, genie etc.] or motivation [greed, envy, bad luck, fate, environment, punishment etc.] you want, just make sure it has to do with the theme.
- Submit captions that you made yourself exclusively for the contest; don't re-post someone else's art or captions you've made for a trade. It should be all new and original.
- All Captions must meet the site's caption guidelines and general rules.
- Most important: Have fun!
Be creative and have fun.
Prizes:
A really cool award marker will be posted in your profile and you'll have the admiration of all the other caption artists. Check out last year's winners here! Seriously, those markers are really cool! Also, if you're new to the Haven and you are looking for Gallery Access, enter the contest! You place first or second and along with your prize marker comes Gallery Access!
Post your submissions into this month's 'Contest' board no earlier than now. If you would like to post your submission anonymously, you may pm me and it will be taken care of. The last day to submit entries will be the 6th of May (when I roll out of bed). Voting will then open later that day if possible and be open for two weeks after polls are opened.

Nostalgia music... I was thinking of something that was released at least a decade or so when I read that!
Then I looked up when the song was released and a streak of my pink hair turned grey immediately :-[
-
Hey was thinking the same and then... yeah, I am surprised when trying to find songs for this. Very eye opening.
-
I guess I don't get it. Do the captions need to be in relation to that One Republic song or "nostalgia music" which by absolutely no rational margin should include anything from the 21st century?
:P

They should be inspired by the song which was playing. I was kind of surprised as was LiSbeth after she did some research that the song is considered nostalgic. What I did was do a search on YouTube for that type of music and then listened to as much as I can to find something that Is both interesting and might push people a little to try different things. Maybe it was the costumes and the instruments in the video that makes it nostalgic, I am nit sure but I thought it was a good song. Personally I was thinking Debussy for the music but yeah....

Hiya!
I also used the song and its lyrics exclusively when coming up with my cap for the contest. It was a nice challenge to interpret the lyrics and to find inspiration in how they vibe with the sound of the music.
I have to admit, however, that the word nostalgia primed me a bit. I was surprised when I looked up the song, of which I have fond karaoke memories, and realised how old it actually was (and how very old that made me feel :-[ ). So yeah, that angle played a mayor role for me :D
-
I started down the OneRepublic train of thought, and my second entry was inspired as that song was listed as "related" videos. That's at least how I interpreted it--not necessarily that it had to be the "song playing," but rather where the song took me.
