Judges: *mode-de-vie, *Death-By-Romance

"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."
-Ernest Hemingway

About the Contest
Ernest Hemingway was bet by his friends that he could not write a six word story. This is what he came up with. He was paid by his friends $10, we are offering SO MUCH MORE!

We judges are challenging you all to come up with a six word story as well, but since you will be getting a lot more than Hemingway did, we also ask that you illustrate the story as well somehow.

Now, these illustrations can be anything- they can be photographs, vectors, paintings, sculptures, you name it. There cannot be any extra words of any sort in the illustration itself unless they are the words of the story. There must only be one illustration.

This is the perfect chance for you guys to show off your skills across different mediums.

How to Deviate
The contest entries should be submitted under literature. You should click the "Add Text" button to put the six word story in. For the illustration, once you have added the story a preview option shows up. That is how you should put in the illustration, not in a separate deviation because this is supposed to be one complete work of art. Make sure you note at least one of the judges, *mode-de-vie and *Death-By-Romance, a link to the deviation. *Please do not leave a comment with a link on our page or in the News article (these may be overlooked).

Caution!
Many famous writers and other celebrities have tried to write these stories but most of the time they forget that it is supposed to be... well... a story. Not everything has to be explicitly said in the story, and it might be interpreted in many different ways. I interpret Hemingway's as a woman had a still born child therefore they sold the shoes. It could be taken many different ways, but that is a full story, not just a simple statement.

A new forum thread has come out with my name attached to it, offering deviants the chance to submit their work for possible features.

Here's a basic rundown of the rules:
- Only THREE deviations can be posted by each deviant
- Those THREE must be: your first deviation, your latest deviation, and one of your favorite deviations
- If your posted deviations do not comply to the above rule, you will not be featured
- All the art will be commented on
- Favorites and watches will be given out based on whether I like your artwork/gallery
- Specific deviants that I choose will be featured in my journal for a week
- All art types are welcome

I will note you if and when your work is featured here.

If you'd like to submit, head on over to the thread found here: [link] PLEASE do not post links in this journal or on my userpage! All submissions must be made on the forum.

EDIT;
All submissions to this forum thread made after Wednesday, June 18, 2008 at 11:59 PM (23:59) will not be considered. I cannot keep the thread running for that long and will start featuring people after that. Sorry about not mentioning that before in the thread!
