ANNOUNCEMENT
005. Creative Board Writing Contest
Hello Instinctuals! (New nickname? Perhaps? Perhaps not? Let me know in the comments c;) It's finally time for our creative board writing contest! If you've never participated in a contest like this before, don't fret as it'll all be explained! I hope, however, that this contest will not only be fun, but spark a little extra creative boost in our community and make the site uniquely our own!
If you've wanted a specific type of location here on Instincts for a while, now's your chance to make that happen. A while back ago I'd started another site, but opened it before I had all boards finished and made. So I hosted a contest for our members to write up some descriptions for our boards and it was an extremely popular contest! Naturally, I wanted to do it here too and let everyone have their own little piece of themselves in the site.
So, basically, you'd be creating a new "backdrop" for our members to use in their stories. These can be boards (displayed on the main site page) or sub-boards (displayed as part of an existing board). You'll want to write a description for your board and a name or title to identify it by. So perhaps if you want to write a beach board, you could enter it with the name "Hangover Beach" and then describe the beach: what it looks like, if the water's warm or hot, how it got it's name, really whatever you want! There's no real restriction to these boards so long as they go along with our plot! So if you're still interested in participating, have a look at our rules below and then get creative!
- There are no maximum word counts, but please have a minimum of 30 words.
- You can write as many boards as you want, but depending on the popularity of the contest, we may only choose 1-2 of your boards written.
- You can make a new board or a sub-board to an existing board.
- Please try to be diverse and aware of how many people are writing in the different categories. We don't want all of our new board options to be for Earth and nothing for Fire.
- The boards can be based off images or your imagination, however you can not submit an image. Descriptions must be written.
- All boards should coincide with our plot.
- All members will get 10 monies per entry or 25 monies if your board is created. All point will be rewarded after the new boards have all been chosen and added.
- The contest will end on Sunday the 29th of October!
- If you have any questions, feel free to respond here or private message me!
To enter our contest, you can reply to this thread, copying and pasting this form for each new board. If you'd like to number them you can, however if you choose not to please just separate them with a couple line breaks. (hit the enter key two or three times)
