Artist's Comments

:iconcommentplz::iconcommentplz::iconcommentplz::iconcommentplz::iconcommentplz::iconcommentplz:

SOOOOOOOOOO...
Here is the deal.

I couldn't decide what to call this piece! I have about ten titles all jumbled up in my head and I thought... hmmm... Why not let my people decide... THEN, I thought... HEY! I should have a contest and the winner will decide the title!!! YEAH!

So, my darlings... Here are the rules:

I. Write a short story -OR- poem about THIS picture... In it, explain why things appear as they do AND why she is crying. (Listen Up! This is NOT a cherry tree... it's a weeping willow! That's part of the mystique... why is it pink??)

II. Title your story or poem accordingly, (make sure the title of your story will work as a title for this picture.)

III. FAVE this piece first... THEN... Submit your tale here on dA and in the Artist's Comments please state that it is an entry for my contest, placing MY icon there and ALSO granting me permission to resubmit it... AND- provide a link back to THIS picture. Then send me the thumb or link in a NOTE with the subject: "Title Contest".

IV. As you all know... I am a stickler about spelling and grammar! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! Check your work thoroughly as I cannot very well choose something with a million typos.

TOP PRIZE:

I. The title YOU chose for your story will also become the permanent title for this picture. (Make sure you love it, because...)

II. I will be buying the winner a print of this picture, FRAMED! AND, the winning title will also be ON the picture permanently... right at the bottom between the roses.

II. A Month-long feature in The Queen's Journal.

IV. A customized commission from ME. Whatever you want: icon, i.d., manipulation, visual poetry OR short story... WHATEVER you want and ABOUT whatever you want.

Runners Up Will Receive:

I. Entries will be featured for 3 months in The Queen's Shoutboard.

II. A 2-week feature in The Queen's Journal.

II. A special gift from ME.

~Don't let me down, Loved Ones... I expect entries from ALL my Court Members who write! And, even if you DON'T write... give it a shot! You never know... yours may make the most sense and be the best tale!

(I have enabled Downloading of this image so contestants may view the finer details.)

~Deadline is August 1, 2009. No entries will be accepted after 5:00p.m./Central Standard Time on Aug. 1st.

Judges will be announced ASAP. And, I will also be writing a journal about this with more detail.

:heart:GOOD LUCK!:heart:
