It’s that time! The judges have chosen the top 4 entries from each and every category (except for the Ages 13-17 “Settings.”) I did not receive enough entries in that category, but instead of throwing it out, I decided to put all 4 entries up to a vote from you. It just didn’t seem fairContinue reading “Vote for Your Favorite Art Entries!”

Thanks for entering, everyone! King Sumo chose Janet E. as the winner, and she has already claimed her prize. If you entered the giveaway, stay tuned for a special Newsletter later today. It’s a fun welcome email from Ms. Patton announcing the winner. And . . . *drum roll* . . . she is offeringContinue reading “Giveaway Winner”

Today is the day you have been waiting for (well, I hope you have been waiting for it). I’m very excited to see everybody’s art creations. Here’s the thing. I have a full page dedicated to the first-ever Circle C & Goldtown Art Contest, so I am not going to repeat everything here in thisContinue reading “Art Contest Launches!”

In the past, I’ve hosted numerous Circle C writing contests, so for a summer “change,” just for fun, instead of a writing contest, I am going to host an art contest. With judges and everything.

I tell you, I’ve had a tearful moment (good) and broke into chuckles (good) and have enjoyed reading your stories.Continue reading “The Stories Are Off to the Judges!”

It’s been awhile since I hosted a story-writing contest. Since I have backed away from the intense, Annual Writing Contest, you all know I’m focusing on quarterly opportunities. However, life snuck up on me, so instead of a winter contest, this one is more of a winter/spring contest. (Sorry about that.) However, with that comesContinue reading “Winter/Spring Story-Writing Contest”
