We, the Ad Team, are looking for new and creative ways and ideas to promote Livewire as well as allow the current members to enjoy the site and what it has to offer. This isn't the first time we've done such a contest, but this one is definitely going to be much more different than those... this one is going to have a wide variety of ways to enter as we want everyone to have an opportunity to join in.  

Points AND Donations will be given as PRIZES!
Contest will run until 12:00pm EST, July 31.
The plan is 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for each category, with a possibility of 1st place winning a donation towards their LW accounts (we are still discussing these details and will release this information as soon as possible).

VERY IMPORTANT!! MUST READ BEFORE ENTERING!!

• Cost of one (1) entry: 10 points. Please send them to the contest page (we will check the page to make sure you do it before officially accepting it into the contest).

  Donations are welcomed even if you don't enter.

• Any member is eligible to enter as many times as they wish, with the exception of the judges (sorry guys).

• All entries must be original work made by the member(s). No cheating, or you will be disqualified and your points will NOT be refunded!
