Weekly Contest Announcement!

Deadline
- : Friday, July 3, 2009 (around 5pm CST)
To Enter

Your entry must be left below, or it will not be considered.

Each Monday, I post the weekly Call for Entries along with the previous weeks completed portrait (above). I may change the subject theme each week, or leave the theme open, so please pay close attention to the details in each announcement.
Entries will be accepted through Friday afternoon around 5PM CST, at which time I will close comments and select one winner from the entries received. I’ll announce the winner on Saturday and post the completed portrait with the following week’s Giveaway announcement.
Qualified entries will include a valid e-mail address, and the comment should include one link to a photograph owned/taken by the entrant. If you do not have a place to upload photos to link one, you can e-mail it to gallery *at* intricateart dot-com. Your entry, however, should be included in the comment section below, with your story – should you choose to include one.
The Selection Process: In case you’re curious, I’ll share my little artsy process in selecting the winner. First – I do not read any entries at all during the week. I do not read them because I don’t want anyone’s entries to have any more time than any others to settle in my creative brain. At the end of the week, I close comments. When I sit down to go through all of the entries, I read the story first, and open the photo link in a new window. When I finish reading, I flip over to the photo and my initial reaction is what I go by.
If your entry is not chosen, you may enter again. I encourage you to include a short story with your entry.
Once you have won a portrait, I ask that you refrain from multiple entries, to give others an opportunity to win one as well.
Your challenge? To inspire me! Choose your photo wisely – I will select a winner based on how the photo and/or story moves me.
Good luck!!

We call him Bubba because he’s our adopted stray from Alabama. He found us during our stay at the lake, which happened to be during Hurricane Dennis. That “hurricane” actually turned out to be only a tropical storm, and not all that serious. But, with the way this poor little stray kitten acted, you would have thought it was the end of the world as he knew it. He was a stray that hung around the outside of the house looking for scraps of food – but on the day of the hurricane storm, he so desperately wanted inside – he was literally climbing the windows to get it.
Being the soft hearted, cat loving folks that we are – we decided to bring him in from the storm – – determined NOT to fall in love with him. That lasted about 2 seconds, because once he was inside, it was a done deal. A week later, we packed up all of our stuff, including the cute stray white and tan kitten – we named him Bubba, and then drove back home to Wisconsin where he still scrounges for scraps and acts like a scardy cat during storms.
Here he is – this is a shot of him in Alabama before he came home with us to Wisconsin: Bubba
Here’s a few more if you need more Bubba inspiration 😉
Closing up the contest this week – will share the winning portrait on Facebook Sunday evening!!
