We have 3 contests this year to celebrate our annual celebration on April 20. The descriptions of each are below.
1. Inspirational Imagery
Create an image -- it can be a photograph or graphic of some kind -- that encompasses what Psych Central means to you. Some might call this "our mission," but you may also think of it as how does Psych Central inspire you?
Five finalists will be chosen from the entries, and one winner will be voted on by the entire community. Entries should appear only in the Creative Corner forum and should be labeled with "Image Contest: [name of image]" in the subject line. You should also explain the image a bit in the post, and how the image relates to how you view our mission here at Psych Central.
Entries must be posted no later than by Saturday, APRIL 18 to be considered. Entries will be voted on by the membership on APRIL 18-20 and a winner announced on April 20.
2. Poetry or Prose
Create a poem or essay that encompasses what Psych Central means to you. Some might call this "our mission," but you may also think of it as how does Psych Central inspire you?
Five finalists will be chosen from the entries, and one winner will be voted on by the entire community. Entries should appear only in the Creative Corner forum and should be labeled with "Poem Contest: [name of poem or essay]" in the subject line.

3. Daily Trivia for a Week
Beginning on Monday, April 13 and ending April 20, a set of three trivia questions will be posted every day to the Question of the Week forum. The first member to answer all three questions correctly each day in the thread will win that day's trivia. You need to get all three answers correct, or else you will not win. Trivia questions will be on all things mental health, psychology and Psych Central. The time of day the questions are posted will vary to try and give different members a chance at winning. You can only win once for the trivia contest, in order to give all members who want to play a chance, thank you!
4. A fourth contest has just been added to the fun and games!!
We're fast approaching our 1,000,000th post!!
Choose a day and time of when you believe this will happen and post your guess here. The member who is
closest to the actual day and time (whether the guess is before or after it actually happens) wins!!
All guesses must be made by midnight ET on April 20, 2009.
==========================================
All finalists will get a free Psych Central t-shirt and pen. Winners will also have their winning entries displayed on Psych Central.
Void where prohibited.
Contest prizes good only for inhabitants of the United States. ALL MEMBERS may enter a contest and even become a finalist. However, due to varying laws in each country, we cannot award prizes to international members.
==========================================
We will also randomly choose members who post on April 20 to receive any remaining t-shirts we may have.
We hope you enjoy and join in on the Annual Celebration, celebrating our 14th birthday!
