Winterfest Online 2010


February 6th - 14th

Preferences: English | All Season



SUGGESTIONS FOR WINTERFEST ONLINE SUBMISSIONS

WRITING: Whether you are an old hand at crafting a tale or whether this would be your first attempt, we encourage you to create a Beauty and the Beast story, poem or song parody/filk. It can be any length or form. Or if you prefer, write an essay on a particular topic that intrigues you about Beauty and the Beast.

ART: Do you have a flair for the artistic? Then dust off your pens & pencils, paints & brushes, chalk, modeling clay or any other medium and let your creative side out to play. Pictures or scans of your work should be sent in any web compatible format.

COMPUTER GENERATED ITEMS: A whole world of imagination is waiting for you to explore: photomontages, wallpapers, animated gifs, cards, slideshows, videos or anything else you and your computer can design.

WEBSITES OR WEBPAGES: Consider building a new Beauty and the Beast website and introducing your new “chamber” during WFOL 2009. Or if you have a website, construct a Winterfest themed page.

OTHER POSSIBILITIES: The fans of BATB are an amazingly talented group of people, so there is no way we could think of all the possibilities for contributing to this year’s Winterfest Online celebration. Anything not mentioned above is welcome; sewing, needlework, crafts, scrapbooking, collections, etc, etc, etc. Send pictures or scans of your finished project accompanied by any patterns, descriptions or sketches that you wish to include.
