Okay. I've run quite a few contests but they didn't really go anywhere, with one participant at the most. The last one was ages ago and I thought I might give it another try.

Those of you on WR will have heard of (or should have heard of) Creative Impulse. It's quite popular over there and is a great idea in my opinion, so I thought we'd have a go at doing something like that and seeing how it goes. We can try different things to though if it doesn't work.

Okay, the idea is that I, or the topic starter/yeah, finds an interesting picture and posts it here for participants to base their writing off of or use as inspiration for a short piece. It's really easy to do and there are many ways we could do it. I could post one picture here, or a selection for you to choose from (though that can sometimes be more difficult) or I could send you individual pictures when you sign up.

There would be prizes and I hope that some of you will be interested in trying this out, I'd love to have more competitions here in the future. :)

So, your thoughts?

Sure! It motivates me to write...most of the time. :P Are you going to call it Creative Impulse, or give it a new name here?

I don't know about the name, I'm just testing contests at the moment to try and get people motivated. If people like it then we could vote on keeping WR's name or making a new one, I don't mind. :)

I thought about maybe doing it for videos and music too . . . What do you think?

To other members: I need your thoughts on contests!

That sounds like fun.
Signatures are overrated?

Okay, so I'll start a picture contest sometime in the next couple days. Hopefully a few more people will join though. :)
