...BACK TO THE FUTURE...
Caption Challenge: Worth a maximum of 10 points; Here you find two scenes, without any 'subtitles' it's up to you to caption what was said during the scene. Maybe they said something funny, something depressing or maybe to just went all silent. It's up to you to add some context to the scene. You can either add your caption to the image or send your caption as regular words. But you do have to mention which caption fits what scene.
Story Challenge: 250 words minimum, worth a maximum of 10 points. You must write, at least, 250 words of a story to get credit for this challenge. There is no maximum length
BACK TO THE FUTURE TIME!
Although you don't have to go all the way back to the prehistory... Write a story about something that happened in the past. This can be something that happened the past year (I think we are done with the weird abductions ;)) Or write a story about the middle ages. And if you really want to you can write a story about the prehistory! Maybe you accidentally send someone there. You know with magic can go things wrong.

Art Challenge: Worth a maximum of 10 points; most graphics will be worth 10 points unless a graphic is deemed of very poor quality or stolen. If you are unsure if your graphic is good enough to be worth 10 points, you can send it in early and ask, contact someone from the Paw Print using our contact page, through a PM, or on IRC, or submit two graphics.
So we covered, past and future... Should we also do a present? Nah this time you get to choose. Make something artsy pantsy about either the past or the future. Or maybe you can do a crossover? Flintstones meeting the Jetsons? It's all up to you what you want to do! Go and get creative!
