So we're on the last round. Everyone ready? This round is fairly simple: How many Haro can Lacus really have? It can be a collage, it can be a wallpaper, it can be a sculpture, it can also be random food made into shapes of Haro. But how many Haro can you fit in one piece? Can you fit alot and still make it look pretty? Bet you never thought of that.

  • If a sculpture, please submit 3 images of the front, side and back or top.
How this is going to be judge:
  • # of haros are in the piece.

Next Off is a creative writing contest for all those writers out there. You will have to write 2 short oneshots fanfic. It can occur anywhere in the series, or it can occur in AU (Alternate Universe) as long as you can describe the environment. Creativity is key here. I'm not interested in how great Lacus is, we already know that; what I'm looking for is something difference, emotional and will keep the readers wanting for more!

Definition: Oneshots: A Stand-alone plot with no means of a continuation. A Begining, middle and end is presented an solved usually resolving with ones issue.
  • Must be about Lacus Clyne. No Original Characters as main or supporting characters please. All other character uses must be from the series. Background characters that are hardly mentioned are okay as original characters.
  • Uses of Literary Devices are highly encouraged.
  • No more than 750 words (roughly 3 pages/6 page double space) for each fanfic.
  • Font: Times New Roman and size of 12 points please. Double Space please.
  • You name (used for crediting) and email that wishes to be used must be in the document header or footer (top of bottom of the page).
  • Check your grammer and spelling! I will be getting a few of my friends in English Majors to be judging this portion of the contest. Good practise for school too! If requested, I can try to arrange your edited copy to be sent back to you, if you want to learn what your mistakes are.
  • All topics must be children-friendly. No Hentai, Yuri, Yaoi or anything inappropiate matter.
  • Your Title of the Writing is also very important. Please also include it at the top if the page, bolded.
  • If you feel one shots are not your taste, Poetry is also welcomes. The only perks is, you must do all 3 themes instead of 2, mainly because you are writing less.
To make your life a little easier, I'll e giving you 3 themes and you must choice 2 out of the 3 themes to write about:
  • Pink
  • Seasons
  • Regret

Let's kick off those shoes and start designing! First up, an Avatar Set, each with it's own theme. So the rules are the following:
  • All images must be portraying Lacus Clyne in some way or another. Cropping at interesting areas are highly encourage!
  • All images used should not be from Fanart. If found that it is from Fanart, your image will be taken down and you'll lose points.
  • Must not contain any inappropiate content.
  • Must be 100 x 100 pixel. No larger or smaller.
  • Each avatar a theme. So 5 Avatar in total.
  • Text Avatars much be strongly related to Lacus Clyne and the theme. You may use the themes named as part of the avatar's text.
  • TIP: Consider typefaces used for text on Avatar as it can change the mood.
  • Not much of restrictions! Just be as creative as you want. It is your own interpretation, if Autumn is Orange to you then feel free to use it. It can be abstract and not so literal as long as it communicates.
Simple enough? We'll here are the 5 themes: Water, Time, By your Side, Power and 7 Deadly Sins.
