I had an idea for a series of 3 contests. I think it could be fun but whether or not I do them depends on the response for this one.
The prompt will be: The Christmas season.
For round 1 all you have to do is submit 2 words. That’s it. Only 2 words but they must in some way pertain to the upcoming holiday season.
There will be no limit on the number of times you may enter. 1 or 1000, it doesn’t matter. Go ahead and have fun. BUT. Make sure you choose your words with care because only the winners and a few others that I select ( not sure how many, could be as many as half
) will move to the next round and you will need your 2 words for the next phase.
I do ask that for this round and the others, you please leave my contest link showing on your entry. That will help (I hope) to avoid confusion and drive me to drink. (more coffee)
If you have any questions please message me or just yell really loud. Who knows, I may even hear you.
I really hope you all have fun with this. This will close December 1st and I’m almost certain that the points will go up for the following rounds. So you have from now until closing to get in as many entries as you want.
Just keep in mind, that once it closes, that’s it, you won’t have a chance for the other contests if you didn’t enter this one.
If anyone would like to donate points to help with the prizes they would be appreciated.
UPDATE: Thanks to some wonderful people donating points, the prizes will go up for the next two rounds!!!
