On-going Creative Contests & Talent Search Announcement In keeping with our integrated business model, we are excited to announce our 2013 Contests-sense program for writers, artists, and designers and photographers of all ages. As of today. we are launching four contests with sign up beginning on may 17, 2013 at 12:00 noon. The purpose of all four contests is to showcase talent, imagination, and creativity among participants of all ages. All four contests have been designed to produce an end product, which will be used for commercial purposes in literary and the art, which products might feature selected contest entries. Participants whose entries are selected for publication will be given full credit and receive a copy of the published work with a certification of participation. Participants will be given the option to request that their entry not be included in any publication. All entries will be reviewed and winners will be selected by teams of create-link judges, all of whom are professionals in their respected fields. No entries will be accepted after the ending date for sign up, unless the sign up time is extended by Create- link, in which case a public notice will be issued. All private information will be kept confidential. Create-link reserves the right to recall any of these contests at any time, if circumstances merit. Prospective contestants who may need to enter one of these contests after the deadline can request a waiver using our Guest Book or Contact Form but not the contest entry form. No purchase is necessary to enter, but an entry fee is required to ensure commitment towards the integrity of these contests. Individuals are allowed to enter one or more contests. Members of contestants' family are not excluded from participating. Contestants may formally withdraw their participation at any point during this contest, but will not be refunded their entry fee. In addition to providing for contestants' awards, proceeds of these contests will be partially used to fund our "Pass it Forward - Writers * Artists and Designers Emergency Campaign Fund." Enter to win. Contest 1. Children's Christmas Drawing/coloring and Storybook Contest finalists (there will be multiple) will be selected among entries that best reflect the spirit of giving in the context of bringing peace and joy to others at Christmas time and in everyday life. Contest 2.
