There are a little more than four hours left to get your entry in for the One-Liner Wednesday Badge contest, as of the publication of this post. The contest ends tonight (Sunday February 14th/16) at midnight, EST.
We have four more entries for everyone to look at, for a total of seven so far. The new ones that weren’t part of the last reminder post are:
Please check them out early! The voting will begin sometime tomorrow; the poll will close Tuesday at noon, to give me time to announce the winner before Wednesday’s prompt is published.
Just a quick note to remind everyone that the contest for the weekly One-Liner Wednesday prompt badge is coming to a close on Sunday night. All entries must be in by 23:59 EST (-5 GMT).
Check out the competition so far. In order of their entries:
Until now, One-Liner Wednesday has not had a badge to identify it. I intend to change that, but I need your help! Yes, once again I’m calling on all artists, photographers, and badge-makers to submit the best of your art thing to be voted upon for our new visual.
The guidelines for entry into the contest are as follows:
1. The design can be anything you want it to be but it must include either “One-Liner Wednesday” and your name and/or the name of your website.
2. Any pictures (art or photo) must be your own.
3. All entries will be posted here on my blog on Monday, February 15th, 2016, along with a poll that will close the next day, on Tuesday the 16th. I would ask that each of the entrants make a blog post on their own website with their artwork so that I can post links for voters to check them out, and that they link their post back HERE in the comment section no later than Sunday, February 14th. All links included here will be added to the voting list.
4. The winner’s badge will be available for anyone who participates in One-Liner Wednesday to post permanently on their website as a widget and/or to embed in each weekly One-Liner Wednesday post.
5. One entry per person. The contest is open to anyone with a blog, WordPress or otherwise (see #3 for entry requirements).
6, Poll results will not be available while the poll is open. If there is a tie, I will choose the winner myself.
7. If I’ve missed anything, or if you have any questions please ask in the comment section below.
8. Have fun!
So that’s it. Get out your paintbrushes and coloured pencils, your cameras, or whatever you generally art with and art away!
You, the voters, have chosen our new Stream of Consciousness Saturday badge! For a while there it looked like I would have to make the final decision, but I was spared by a hair.
First, as promised (and so the winner’s badge doesn’t show up in the reader) here is the badge we have dutifully used for the past year. Since Doobster has departed for what I imagine are greener pastures and fresher air, I thought it would be a nice tribute to give everyone the opportunity to remember him with this:
As I said, it was very close. There was only one vote between each of the top three:
In first was: My Leaky Boat with “Flowers,”
followed by Nearly Wes with “Sun Rays.”
In third was Owl Wonder with “Splash”
and then in close fourth was Irene Design with “Gems”
and bringing up the most honourable last place was Ever Changing with “Waterfall.”
Congratulations to all the entrants for a job well done and thank you to everyone who voted!
It’s after midnight and all the entries are in for the new Stream of Consciousness Saturday badge contest. We have five fantastic badges to choose from! Anyone can vote: make yours count!
I’ll name them all to make it easier for voting purposes. Here are the contestants in order according to their entries:
There’s a contest going on right now to design a badge for my weekly prompt, Stream of Consciousness Saturday! The winner will have his or her artwork posted numerous times every week, along with a mention/link to his or her blog as the designer of the badge.
This contest closes on Wednesday, August 12th at midnight, Eastern Daylight Time (-5 hours GMT), so get designing or please spread the word via re-blog!
It was a year ago tomorrow that I announced the Saturday Stream of Consciousness Badge Contest, and a year ago next week that we voted on this beautiful badge
Badge by: Doobster at Mindful Digressions
to represent us every week. The decision to make this an annual contest was a tough one. Many of us miss Doobster and using his badge seems a great way to remember him. What I’d like to propose is, anyone who has attached this amazing work of art to one of their posts might attach it as a widget to his or her page. Sometime in the next week I’ll endeavour to put a date on it for that purpose.
So, that out of the way, let’s move on!
I’ll be taking entries for the next seven days (today included) for Stream of Consciousness Saturday badge designs. Here are the guidelines:
1. The design can be anything you want it to be but it must include either “Stream of Consciousness Saturday” or “SoCS” and your name and/or the name of your website.
2. Any pictures (art or photo–it doesn’t have to be crayon) must be your own.
3. All entries will be posted here on my blog on Thursday August 13th, 2015, along with a poll that will close the next day, on Friday the 14th. I would ask that each of the entrants make a blog post on their own website with their artwork so that I can post links for voters to check them out, and that they link their post back HERE in the comment section no later than Wednesday August 12th. All links included here will be added to the voting list.
4. The winner’s badge will be available for anyone who participates in Stream of Consciousness Saturday to post permanently on their website as a widget and/or to embed in each weekly SoCS post.
5. One entry per person. The contest is open to anyone with a blog, WordPress or otherwise (see #3 for entry requirements).
6, Poll results will not be available while the poll is open. If there is a tie, I will choose the winner myself.
7. If I’ve missed anything, or if you have any questions please ask in the comment section below.
8. Have fun!
Note: The posting of the winning badge with a SoCS post/on a participant’s website will not be a requirement. It’s purely for entertainment/recognition purposes.
Doobster at Mindful Digressions! As it turned out, I didn’t have to make the choice although it was SO close!
Here are the results:
I said in the voting post that if Doobster won I’d choose which of his badges would be the ultimate winner and I have done so. I took into consideration the comments in his post here: http://mindfuldigressions.com/2014/08/08/i-yam-what-i-yam/ and I also took a close look at both. My reason for choosing this one:
is that unless the two are side-by-side, it’s impossible to tell what the image is in the background of the other one – for me at least.
So that’s that.
Thank you so much to Colleen at Silver Threading and KG at Books, Music, Photography, & Movies for your wonderful entries.
Mindful Digressions: http://mindfuldigressions.com/2014/08/08/i-yam-what-i-yam/ – please note because Doobster at Mindful Digressions hasn’t played by the rules *stares at you, Doobster* and ignored the bit about one badge per entrant, (Rule #5) that if he wins, I will choose which badge of his two will be the ultimate winner.
Poll is closed.
It’s going to be a tough choice – all three are amazing!
The poll will remain open for one day. Results will be posted on Friday.
