SMITH and Shutterfly’s Six-Word caption contest continues. For those just joining us here’s how it works: Each Monday morning we’ll post a photo from Shutterfly on the Six-Word Memoir project and you’ll have until Friday at 5pm EST to submit a caption in exactly six words. One short-form scribe will receive a gift certificate for $50 for Shutterfly. Leave your six words to describe 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’s winning caption for the photo you see in this blog post: “Can Bobby come out to play?,” by SMITH member heem08, whose caption took the prize among more than 200 entries. Thanks to all who came and played.
Plus: SMITH is now taking submissions for our forthcoming book of illustrated Six-Word-Memoirs by students of all ages, a new eBook with the folks at the TED conference.
