Annyeong ARMYs !! How are you guys ? Are you doing well ?
This is your beloved moderator, SweetyTwilight !
(lol I know I'm freaking everywhere huehuehue)
You probably know it since a certain time, we are organizing our first contest !
It was firstly announced as you saw it in this journal :
>>>

Contest + You Never Walk Alone + BBMAs and more !

HEY ARMYS !! IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME !! HOW ARE YOU ?
We are terribly sorry for our lateness for everything, the staff is being very busy these days !
(it is by the way your beloved moderator SweetyTwilight !)
We wanted to make several journals since a long time but all of us didn't have the time to, so let's make a little summary of these last months !
(and stay with us till the end ! Some juicy contest is ahead~)
EDIT : STOP STOP Stay where you are, right here ! If you came to see the contest details, then is journal is outdated ! Please check this new journal update to see more informations about this contest ! Cheers !~~
>>> <<<

But it seems that you guys encountered a lot of issues with this, and we are sorry !
In this new journal, we are hoping that things will be eventually clearer for you !
There are some huge updates that were made, and hopefully will help you a bit !

Due to a lot of issues toward the deadline, we decide to extend the length of this contest !
Now, the deadline changes from the 21st June to the 21st July !
You have until one more extra month to participate in this contest !

EDIT 18th July : Since some of you guys are very determined but didn't had the time to finish their entry because were busy with school or issues or were pretty much procrastinating (don't worry we understand that huhu), we are not gonna end this contest for a undetermined moment, waiting that you could post an entry that you are satisfied with !

EDIT 3rd August : For those who are still interested in this contest or those who are still making their entries, please do your best to upload your submission within the next few days, we are thinking to finally close this contest, and begin the judging phase. This is not pressure but encouragement, and last final call for everyone, you can do it ! We'll looking forward for your last pieces !

Good luck for you all ! We hope that you could spend more time to create your contest entry !
And that more people would decide eventually to participate...!

Fighting yorobunnn !!~

We also updated prizes and acceptable medias !
From now not only drawings will be accepted, but every media is allowed as long as it matches with the theme, then you will be able to choose anything you are comfortable with !

As for the prizes, we categorized them in two distinct parts, in order to easily choose the different winners !
Firstly, there are the Visual Arts entries : including Fan Art, GFX (graphics), and Photography !

FIGHTIIIIINNNNNGGGGGG !!!!

In the last journal, we saw that the subject seems too difficult, and was said in a such complicated way
(we apologize in advance if we troubled you or mind blown you, bianada yorobun !)

So now, the updated subject is...
Spring Day x Not Today

You might thinking that it is exactly the same, but !
All you have to do is combine them, and it is not necessary to do something extraordinary, breathtaking, absolutely marvelous...
Just something simple is okay ! Don't worry so much about details and all, the most important is your participation !
Just relax when doing it~ FIGHTING YOU CAN DO IT !

For example, if you are drawing, you can simply combine the different elements (environments, clothes...) and that will be fine !

Or if you are a hard Sherlock ARMY and love theories and complicated stuffs, then-- go for it haha !

Spring Day talks about Friendship, and Not Today talks about to not give up !
Is that helping you a bit ? Is inspiration coming to you ? Do you smell it from far away ?

Also, dear writers, here are some writing prompts that you can use ! :

-Including some lyrics from both songs !
(No, not today ; Today we will survive ; I miss you ; Until the spring comes again...)

-Including the members in your story

-Including inner thoughts from the members, play with the different sides of views...

-Including dialogues, but not too much, narration is important !

-Including descriptions (of scenery, of characters...), but not too much too !

-A story located outside could be nice, and in their rooms too, why not !

-A not too long story could be nice, too long could be boring !

-Same really with poetry

But don't push yourself so hard ! The most important is to enjoy what we are doing, and not to get stressed willing absolutely to win, that it is not the point of this contest !

The true point of this contest is to gather the most artists possible,
and to appreciate each other and create strong bonds !
You see, we can sit here, and talking about everything and becoming friends !
...Don't forget that You Never Walk Alone.

We all hope that you enjoyed this journal, don't forget to comment to express yourself,
and please remember...

...be part of the family.
One crazy family, last name ARMY
