Title: The 411 of the December Caption Contest (The Info)
Post by: Jezebel on December 03, 2025, 05:29:28 AM

Time to look back at all of the ideas that people had over the years for cap contests and see what can be done. You can see them all here if you are curious -> https://rachelshaven.com/forum/index.php?topic=75595.0 (https://rachelshaven.com/forum/index.php?topic=75595.0). Looking at the list let's do... - flapper dresses, prohibition, jazz, well anything else that involves the roaring 20's.

---

1- 12 entries - winner gets one cap  ss
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 5th of January (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.
