With a new semester coming up in a couple of months, the writing group could use some new fliers to help spread the word and bring in some new members. In order to generate art for the fliers, we will be holding an art contest. The rules are:

1) The art needs to be small (or large) enough to reasonably fit on an 11" by 8.5" piece of paper under the landscape orientation.
2) The art needs to be in black and white: you can submit a colored version if you would like, but we need to be able to make copies of this art from a standard copying machine.
3) The art can be either fantasy or science fiction themed, but should have some recognizable sci fi / fantasy element.
4) The art should have the words "Quark" or "Quark Writing Group" somewhere in the image.
5) There needs to be enough empty space on the page so that I can type in information about meeting times and contact information (DO NOT include this information in the artwork itself!).
6) It just generally needs to be awesome and show how much love you have for the writing group and/or Quark in general.

The deadline for the contest is December 8th by midnight: hopefully, this will give you enough time to start thinking about it and come up with something really good! We'll accept the best three submissions, with prizes as follows:

3rd place: one issue of The Leading Edge.
2nd place: two issues of The Leading Edge.
1st place: two issues of The Leading Edge and a $20 gift certificate to the BYU Bookstore.

Email your submissions or questions to me at onelowerlight@gmail.com.

Good luck and have fun!
