So, here's the deal....I've never hosted a contest before and I wanted this to be something really unofficial. The prize isn't exactly material. However, it *is* a pretty awesome prize.

I know a lady who is writing a fiction book; she has come to me (as I am currently developing her website) with a dilemma. She needs a photograph, or very detailed illustration, of children playing on a playground (photo preferred).

I will update this posting soon with more detail but, so far, here are the requirements:

Ages: Range from about 4-14
Number of subjects: Prefer 6-10 children.
Gender ratio: Isn't extremely important.
Preferred dress of the children: Classic (not too modern) dresses and such.
Attitude of the children: Unaware, playful, happy.
Playground equipment preference: Standard simple (see-saw/swings), nothing too modern.
Photograph Style: Antique, old, aged, not modern.

One photo/illustration will be selected *if* she is satisfied with one of them.

And finally....The prize....your work will be included on the book's website and possibly in/on the book! You will be credited in the credits of the final print if she chooses to include your work.

To submit, you may send me a link to your photo.
This contest is valid through about the end of June but the earlier the better!
