Personal Note: The contest deadline is August 5, 2010 although the contest period says it will end on August 12, 2010.

Creating an entry here is simple, but being creative here will prove to be difficult. You might have to use catchy phrases to give your entry some attention. Your message has weight in the selection criteria.

A lot of entries have already been posted so chances of winning might be slim. Still, you can try your luck and hopefully you might win!

Another thing, there is only one winner for this contest. I wish there were additional prizes to be won so that your chances of winning something will slightly increase.
