The 411 of the April Caption Contest (The Info)
« on: April 05, 2023, 05:25:33 AM »
Okay this year’s caption contest is on the weird little poems listed below. What do they mean and what do they do is up to you. But each month there is a primary spell that everyone must focus on and master. This month's spell is...

What once was yours you give away. What once was another’s is yours in trade.  With an open hand, you agree and shake with one, no fear of fingers crossed






  • One size to another from a giant to a mouse. These words will command how the world is seen.
  • From out of the pages you leap. KAPOW! BOOM! BANG! In colored tights, you hope to hide the mild-mannered inside.
  • The looking glass whispers what it sees. Light darker than a shadow and shadow brighter than any light in a world of shattered glass. 
  • Giggle and glee is all that shall be.. Don’t worry. Don’t think, for unicorns dance in pink bubble gum skies.
  • With water splash, hot or cold. Wash away what hides the you inside.
  • Twin mounds swell from bumps to mountains. Filling the cups and heavy in the hands. May eyes fall on you filled with want or jealousy.
  • With borrowed clothes worn and awkward. In a blink, without a stitch, they will fit like they were meant.
  • Wrapped in black with heels that click. No way to hide the swells and curves. No way to hide the attitude that the wraps bring.
  • The hands turn both ways forward and back. With a spin, you will find years added or taken away.
  • High in sky the moon shines. Its light calls to something since. With a howl or a whimper, it comes free until the starts to shine with a new day.
  • What once was yours you give away. What once was another’s is yours in trade.  With an open hand, you agree and shake with one, no fear of fingers crossed.[/i]
    • A mirror’s reflection will be seen when none can reflect. Two voices the same when one was heard. 



    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 1st 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.
I will hug you so hard!

Befuddled, be losted or bedazzled with captioning. See a  Caption Coach!
