Six-Word Caption Contest #6 (and Winner #5)
Monday, October 22nd, 2012
SMITH and Shutterfly’s Six-Word caption contest keeps rolling into—wait for it—its sixth week. It goes like this: Each Monday morning we post a photo from Shutterfly on the Six-Word Memoir project and you have until Friday at 5pm EST to write a six-word caption. One savvy six-word scribe wins a gift certificate for $50 for Shutterfly. Leave your six words that get to the essence of the photo you see here in the comments area below. You can submit up to 10 entries; read the official rules for more details.
Last week hundreds of you made strummed to the tune of six to describe the photo you see in this blog post. And the winning six is: “Plaid’s fading fast. Mom, send cash.” by RatherBeSewing. Thanks to all for playing—and good luck this week.
Plus: The deadline for submitting to our new book of illustrated Six-Word-Memoirs by students of all ages is November 5. And it’s a very special one, an eBook with the folks at the TED conference.
