At this time of year,
it is a sad fact
that with so many holiday festivities,
office and home parties
that the incidents of drunk driving
and all the consequences
rise dramatically.
Driving under the influence of
drink or drugs is a killer.
Unfortunately many deaths occur
each year through drunk driving.
What I want you to do is
get the message out there
to everyone to raise awareness
about the cause and
effects of such a habit.
STOP Drunk Driving
and
SAVE LIVES
Rules
1. Any format is acceptable
2. Please keep profanity to a minimum
3. No erotica
4. No 'dirty pretty' or 'sticky caps'
Gold + 400 points
Silver + 250 points
Bronze + 100 points

- Contest was judged on December 30, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 250, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: First of all I want to say a big thankyou to everyone for adding their entries intoo this contest.
To me it is a very important subject and one dear to my own heart having seen and dealt with the aftermath of the accidents caused by drunk driving.
I feel very strongly that we all have a duty to get the message out thre, not only to the young but to all who drive any sort of vehicle.
Its a message that can never be told too often.. and if we can save even one life by telling it, then it is worthwhile.
The entries were brilliant, and I really had a hard time choosing but.... here goes:
Gold - Only a buzz by knickerdew
Silver - Now She Knows by paw-writer

good idea
i never drank and drove
why do people do it
it's good you will alert others to this sinful task -
It is a sad fact that so many fail to understand the impact of "just a few hours of fun" can change lives forever~
Blessings to all who enter.

Hey, I did NOT write this poem, but i did come across it a few years ago, i thought you might want to read it.
''Near to the door he paused to stand
as he took his class ring off her hand
all who were watching did not speak
as a silent tear ran down his cheek
and through his mind the memories ran
of the moments they walked
and ran in the sand hand and hand
but now her eyes were so terribly cold
for he would never again have her to hold
they watched in silence as he bent near
and whispered the words......
"I love you" in her ear
he touched her face and started to cry
as he put on his ring and wanted to die
and just then the wind began to blow
as they lowered her casket into the snow....
this is what happens to man alive.....
when friends let friends.... drink and drive.''
I think that this contest is great and the fact that you want to get the message out there is just brilliant. If more people were like you maybe the world wouldnt be so dangerous.
