Polls + Awareness of the Arts Contest Feature

Hello grasshoppers. I start a new job tomorrow...and am nervous...but I think it will be ok. I have new clothes, a new haircut and a new notebook. All new things for the new job. Finally going to be able to adult - like earn decent money and buy groceries and pay for medication/medical insurance. So, pray for good things like peace and a good night's sleep (if you're the praying kind) or just wish me luck/think of me (if you're not the praying kind). But all that aside, I have some things for you to look at. Pretty things, very pretty things.



Firstly, there are two polls I need to draw your attention to:
1) Ordinary-Writing 's contest poll.
Due to the group not being super, this poll is on my home page and can be found here: magicaljoey.deviantart.com/jou…
What are you voting for you may ask? Well, Ordinary-Writing recently held a June/July contest, and this poll has the entries in it. You are voting to decide who wins, who gets second and who gets third. So far (as of this journal being typed) there are only four votes...we need more! All it takes is a click (no need to comment at all unless you really want to) on your favourite piece, and then you are done. About a minute of your time in total! We need voters, so come and vote and then encourage your friends to do the same! The poll will be up for a few more days, maybe a week, despite the deadline mentioned in the contest journal - simply because we need more votes.



2) My-Soul-Bleeds-Ink 's challenge poll.
This poll can be found here: my-soul-bleeds-ink.deviantart.…
This is a poll where you decide what poetry form My-Soul-Bleeds-Ink is going to tackle during August/September. We've had a nice medium response so far, (eight votes) but if you're interested in participating in the challenge (and maybe being crowned the winner and having your piece featured at the top of every journal until the next winner is crowned) please vote on your choice of form. This poll will be up for about another week or so, to get a good lot of votes in, before we start.



Then...some features:
Amarantheans recently held the Awareness of the Arts contest through her group OurDreamsWillCome and the winners were announced just the other day.

Ciao,
