Six-Word Caption Contest #8 (and winner #7)
Monday, November 5th, 2012
SMITH and Shutterfly’s Six-Word caption contest swings into November this week with another illuminating photograph. Here’s how it works: 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. So 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 buzzed in to describe the photo you see in this blog post. And the winning six is: “Laugh now. Someday we’ll be teenagers.” by Gerri. Thanks to all for playing—and good luck this week.
Plus: Don’t miss your chance to catch SMITH on the road! Check out this post and our new SMITH Live section for the latest updates on upcoming tour dates.
