May Contest
Usually Spring hits full swing in May, so many of us will start spending more time outside this month. In order to celebrate the warmer weather (well, for most of us
[well, for most of us north of the equator]) this month's contest is
GOIN' OUT! Post a picture of you, or a friend, or you
and your friends,
vaping outside. You can be hikin', or bikin', or just sittin' on the porch. Fishin', picnicin' or standing under a tree--just get outside for a bit.
If you are reluctant, for some reason, to post a picture of yourself or someone you know
vaping outside, you can write a description of your favourite outdoor vaping spot or describe to us how vaping outdoors makes you feel (good
or bad). Don't just tell us a place--you have to tell us what makes
that place different from others, and why it's your favourite. This is supposed to be a
picture thread, if you don't want to post a photo you have to try to paint a picture with words
This month's prize will be a $20 gift certificate.
Rules for the
May 2013 contest (in
addition to the General Rules):
For photos:
- Someone in the picture must be actively vaping.
- If a photo meets the criteria to be posted by more than one person, any/all eligible people may post it.
For non-photo entries:
- You have to put some effort in the description. "On my porch" doesn't cut it. "At the park, because it's cool" isn't good enough. It doesn't have to be poetry, but it has to show an attempt was made to express something
- Since written entries are being allowed in the contest this month, all discussion will be moved to the discussion thread. If an entry doesn't meet the (admittedly subjective) criteria for non-photo submissions, it will be moved as well.
- You may post more than one non-photo entry but each entry must be unique.
For all entries:
- The limit of five entries applies to the total. You don't get five pictures and five essays, just five entries in any combination of photos and essays
