You arrive in a garden, and no matter which way you choose, no matter the time you walk, your steps bring you always to this statue. Weird isn't it?
But... what happens near the statue? Does the statue speak to you? Is there a meeting? Works of magic? Is it a portal to and from another place?

Your challenge this month is to show us events around a statue in a garden, what is possible to see.

Garden can be from humans, fairies, being of forests... yes even under seas.

Welcome to the month of Alturiak, several different events are observed during the month, some cultures celebrate love and romance, some hold religious observances and some just party till they drop.

A well known celebration in many cultures and countries is Mardi Gras which has a long and rich history, the part that sometimes is forgotten, it is the forerunner to Ash Wednesday and the period known as Lent in the Christian calendar.

Yes, Lent the period of fasting and somber reflection, so what to do but throw a party before the season and eat and drink as much of all the rich food and drink you want and as they say "Let the Good Times Roll"

So your challenge is to show your characters having a grand ole time partying, it can be wild and crazy ... it can be a rich feast with food and drink never-ending ... it could be dressing up in costumes, with or without masks ... it could be dancing till the sun goes down and comes back up again.

Or all of the above ....

Welcome to a new month and a new contest. Tis time for a bit of a swim! Yes, folks it is all about being beneath the sea. Doesn't matter if it is the oceans depths, or a lake, pond or even a stream that empties into a larger body of water.

Bottom line is that your picture must display an underwater scene.

So if you want to do a scene of fishies swimming about, or a scene with merman and mermaids galore by all means. Or how about a scene of underwater shipwrecks and if desired maybe an explorer or two investigating. That could work ... or remember that the Cthulhu mythos started with an underwater cavern.

You may enter up to three images each, not entered elsewhere and must be your original work.

MAY CHALLENGE of the MONTH

Please read all below for the rules for this month's challenge.

You've all got favorite songs don't you? Then, all you have to do is show us your take on those favorite songs of yours.

Do you see the song played out in a 'mind movie'? Does it remind you of some moment in your life or someone you used to know? What encapsulates the visions in your head when you listen to it? Show us! Pick 3 (three) of your favorite songs and let's see them.

THE RULES:
The title of the song, the band who plays/sings it and some amount of lyrics or description to give idea to the moment in the song where image is directed are REQUIRED.

If Classical or Opera is your thing, you need the title, the composer and a sufficient description of the scene you are portraying, as they don't all have lyrics to go with them.

All songs must be off a professional or indy studio-produced record, tape or cd for any music from tape or 33 1/3 on up. The rest is up to you!

This contest will run until MIDNIGHT E.D.T. on Thursday, May 31st, 2018.
Normal contest rules apply.
