New Contest

Annoucing... Miss Dashwood's newest contest!  I had such fun with that Jane Austen Birthday Card contest (as I hope you did, too) that I decided to hold another one.  This time, it will be a Period Drama Button contest.

Allow me to elaborate.

Participants will submit a picture from a period drama with a humorous caption on it, such as the one at the top of this post.  The caption must be either a common saying (such as "If I had a British accent..." or "Keep calm and ____") or a quote from another period drama ("sink me!", for instance) or possibly even a song lyric ("the simple bare necessities", perhaps).   A quote or song lyric or saying that goes with the picture, that is.  See below for another example.

I hope you are laughing at my amazing wit.  (Miss Dashwood, stop being so shamelessly vain and get on with what you have to say.)

Oh, very well.  As I said, if you'd like to participate, please make your own funny button (or two or three) and then post it (or them) on your blog.  Leave a comment on this post with the link to your button.  The contest will close on Saturday, January 21st at 11:59 PM.  After that time, no more entries will be accepted.  You are free to enter as many buttons as you wish.

If there are more than five entries, I will select five top entries and allow y'all to vote for a winner.  If there are five or less entries, I will select a winner from those five.  Makes some semblance of sense?  Good.

You may use whatever image source you like to get pictures for the contest (Google Images, Fanpop, Photobucket, whatever) but I thought I might provide you with links to a few screencap albums.  If you do use photos from these albums (which aren't mine, by the way) please be courteous and cite the albums in your blog post.

To edit your pictures and add text, I suggest using either Picnik (www.picnik.com) or FotoFlexer (www.fotoflexer.com), two free photo editing websites.

Happy editing... I'm looking forward to your submissions!


EDIT:
A couple of things I forgot to add... if you do not have a blog, please upload your entries to a photo hosting site such as Photobucket or Picasa Web Albums and leave the photos' URLs in a comment.  If you need help with this, just let me know.
Also, I forgot to mention that Yet Another Period Drama Blog hereby reserves the right to reproduce the winning entry (and possibly the runners-up) in a post announcing the winners.  Entrants that do not agree to these terms will be disqualified.
Heehee, that sounded so technical and official.  :P  All I'm trying to say is that if you win, I want to be able to put your button on my blog (with full credit of course) to announce that you've won, so be prepared for that.
Thanks!
