Tell Your Story
Oldude59
I'm the CEO of a young behavioral health clinic with an opioid market
focus. Because of our youth and general sense of daring we are
sponsoring a contest. (check to post made in the alt.recovery.aa group
- its a great resource for framing a story)
We describe in some detail our orientation and philosophy on our
various blog sites: www.squidoo.com/changling or
Happy.changedlifeltd.net. So I'm taking the liberty to simply say
We're trying something we hope turns out well.
These are the rules for this contest. We reserve the right to learn
from our mistakes. Depending on the response to this contest Changed
Life Ltd may hold monthly contest. So be alert whether a winner this
time or not. The focus of these contests will be to challenge you to
create new artwork based on particular themes - the first: "Tell
Your
Story".
The mission of this project is to create market demand for your talents
and proactively enhance your skills to be creative and tackle subjects
you may not normally attempt.
Changed Life is taking the stand that this project be enjoyable. The
stand is for accomplishment, novelty and forward movement. Your Story
is the expression of you-you want the world should see. The sounds,
sights, sense abilities that define you. Should that story be sad, so
sad that anyone that sees it breaks down in pain? On the other hand,
should the story express how to overcome with brilliance? The story
is your opportunity to make something even unimagined before.
