Fifth Annual International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day Contest: [March 1]<BR>
The fifth annual International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day contest is now open. This year's contest is to design medals to recognise citizen achievements. Medals may be inspired by "real world" awards (medals of honour, medals of valour) or may be completely ridiculous (medal of most candy penguins able to be stuffed into one's mouth). Winners will be chosen in two categories:<p>
1) Concept Entry: just describe the name and conditions that this medal will be awarded. We are looking for the Silly of course, but also medals and ribbons that commemorate service to the Empire.<P>
2) Design Entry: How will the medal look? The Rules here are that the medal must be able to be homemade at very little to no cost, the idea being the Empire authorizes you to craft and display the medal. If you can make one and take a picture, even better!<P>
Grand prize: should a single medal win in both "concept" and "design" categories, the winner will receive the rare and coveted "Medal-Maker Laureate Medal," an actual physical medal, assuming the winner feels safe providing their postal address. Other prizes to be determined. So once you have a concept for a medal, try building it and vice versa!<P>
Contest ends March 26th, 2010.<P>
