Winners of the New Years Day Festival Art, poetry and photography competition 2010:






Midnight

Throughout every part of Elftown,
Citizens gather with a feeling of trite.
Not a cheerless face can be found.
We are united by celebration, tonight.

Florissant fireworks blast.
It’s midnight here.
Shadows of bright light are cast;
Whispers saying, “Kiss me, dear?”

Laughter and merriment surrounds.
Flutes of the finest glass tink,
The roar of gleeful children sounds
As Hedda pours my lover and I another drink.

Humans dance ‘round fires like gypsies,
Halflings sit with their lovers in toe,
Orcs and Elves are festive and tipsy;
Who the dwarfs kiss, we’ll never know.

2010 lights up the spacious sky,
Signaling another year has passed.
Bottle rockets begin to fly,
I hope my resolutions this year last.

Up in the midnight sky,
A sudden and instant reminder,
Forever we live and die,
This year we must be kinder.

2008-01-05 [Lin-tastic]: Other than the graphics and badges, I think this page is pretty much complete. Does anyone else know of anything else I could possibly add?

2008-01-05 [nehirwen]: nice wiki design *winks* does look complete to me..
do you want me to make the banner/divider/badges/little mood thingy for this contest?
(because you've said you don't have the programs for it?)

2008-01-05 [Lin-tastic]: I'd, ah, check the comments on Thanksgiving Festival. ^_^" If you're willing, though, I'm not gonna say no. lol

2008-01-05 [nehirwen]: <img:stuff/LittleSparkler1.gif> <img:stuff/LittleSparkler2.gif>
(I think I like the one with background most..)

2008-01-05 [Lin-tastic]: Well, my background's black, so either way it doesn't matter. xD Anyways, yeah, for the sake of seeing the fire work as brightly as possible, like on New Years, a black background would definitally be profitable. ^_^ xD

2008-01-05 [nehirwen]: I think most members don't have a black background, ;)
so we just stick with the LittleSparkler1 :)
(I've put it in the wiki for you)

2008-01-05 [Lin-tastic]: -has noticed- Well, thank you! And yeah, I kinda figured.
Don't use the halloween one when it's not halloween and all that.
It's easier on my eyes. lol ;D
What are you working on now, though?

2008-01-05 [nehirwen]: An entry for St. Patrick's Day Festival xD
but I'm not sure what you mean, you liked me to do more graphics for this contest or not? O.o *confused*
(if you do, I will, otherwise I don't ;)

2008-01-06 [Lin-tastic]: Well, from what you said earlier, I kinda assumed you'd be willing to create the rest of the graphics, similar to your two pages.
I do want you to make them, but only if you want to...
I'm very lenient and try not to push for things...lol

Oh, and very nice entry! ;D

2008-01-06 [nehirwen]: thank you, and I shall make the rest of the graphics too :)
what do you want the badges look like?

2008-01-06 [nehirwen]: ( <img:stuff/DividerNewYearsDay.jpg> ) <-- if you like to choose ;)

2008-01-30 [Lin-tastic]: I'm so sorry! I think I checked and didn't realize there were more comments! Oh, and the dividers and banner are awsome! I wouldn't mind alternating between the two, but it still looks great. :P

2008-01-30 [nehirwen]: Lol, I was thinking something like that indeed, that's why I poked you ;)
Thank you :) and I'll make the badges probably tomorrow!

2008-01-30 [Lin-tastic]: -huggles- Thank you so much!

2008-01-30 [nehirwen]: you're welcome ;)

2008-02-01 [nehirwen]: I've changed the deadline for the photography contest to January 7. One day to fix their photo's is not fair. (and quite stressful)

2008-02-02 [Lin-tastic]: Ah...makes sense. ^^ -huggles- Thank you! They're better than I ever expected!

2008-02-02 [nehirwen]: :p You're welcome, and thank you ^^

2008-09-12 [FamousPanda]: entered in the poetry =]

2008-11-17 [LunaWolfDragon]: just so ill kinda feel better after the last one i want to enter the art one. Hopefully i can do a good drawing one.
