Bijoy Dibosh 2007 Contest

[Icy]

We are having a contest to highlight Bijoy Dibosh!

Boring to read, but very important to state: many people gave up their lives so we could live free today with our own language. Why should their efforts go in vain? If they can sacrifice their lives, we can sacrifice a bit of our own time to remember them.

Hence the contest! Our modest way of creating an interactive platform for all creative thinkers to come together, and make something in the name of Bijoy Dibosh. To remember our history and honour it.

There are 4 categories to which members should really consider contributing:

• Story
• Poetry
• Photography
• Graphics

A member can submit maximum 2 submissions per category.

Your creative composition must be related to Bangladesh Liberation War. Feel free to use English or Bangla in your creations. If you need help with Bangla typing let us know. You have to make something new for this contest within the time given. Old published works are not allowed. No copying either, you will be disqualified!

Deadline for Submissions: December 12th 2007

Please submit all your work with you user name and a proper title to contest@golpo.net

We will run polls and select our winners! Participants will get 1000 credits and winners will receive prize + 5000 credits.

Until we announce the winning piece of work, no one will know which member submitted which poem, which picture, or drawing. Only the title will be on the poll. It will be anonymous, to avoid all bias votes! We strongly advice members to not give away what they make, because it sucks out all the fun! And lastly, definitely, the most important thing, create something original and from the heart.

Photography : max width 700 px

Drawing/Other Graphics : max 800 X 600 px

Here's your chance to go crazy. All the best!
