This is a very special contest in honor of someone that both Julie (Reptile Lady) and I care about very much. I won’t mention his name because he will know who he is when he reads this.
Julie will be judging this contest with me and we are giving you all a couple of options to work with.
1. The picture is your first prompt.
2. The following quote is your second option: "Darkness seeps in shadows"
We want: sad, brooding, death, love, eerie, spooky….. Get the ideal?
Make us be glad we didn’t read your entry in the dark kind of stuff. Make our teeth chatter and give us goose bumps…..

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on August 3, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 1500, Silver: 800, Bronze: 400, Honorable mention: 10 people
- Final notes: This has to be the hardest contest I’ve ever had the pleasure of judging. All the entries are just awesome and each one deserves a cup but unfortunately that isn’t possible.
You all have really shown where your true talent lies in creating these wonderful pieces and I enjoyed reading these so much.
Since Julie is my co-judge, between the both of us, we’ve chosen our favorite 13 entries.
Believe me, this was not an easy choice. There were a lot of others, I’d have liked to add to the list but 13 was our limit.
The HM’s are in no particular order.
Thanks for making this such a successful contest. Both of us appreciate it very much.
We hope to enjoy your work in future contests.
Thanks, Cathy and Julie.
