THE RULES:

This year's theme is: "ANIMALS IN SNOW"

FIRST, Choose an animal, any animal - a deer, turkey, fox, coyote, moose, ANYTHING and draw a picture of that animal or a group of animals in a snow scene. We always dream of a white, snowy Christmas and I think having you kids draw some awesome pictures of animals in a beautiful winter landscape would be fun to see!!! It may be FULL COLOR OR BLACK & WHITE. It may be done in PENCIL, INKS, WATERCOLORS, ACRYLICS, OILS, CHALKS, CRAYONS, MARKERS, WHATEVER! Put as much effort as you can into it! I want to see what talented young folks we have here on Trapperman! Then have someone take a nice brightly lit photo or scan of it and post it here!!

SECOND, you must write a story that describes this scene with these animals. It can be a made up story, or a biography about these animals, like a school book report. Make it fun, write about your own experiences or something you've thought up yourself! I'd like this story to be a few paragraphs minimum, if possible. I know this may be difficult for the very young contestants and we will consider this when we judge the entries at the end. Include many details to make your story interesting, who, what, where, when, why, & how.

ONCE AGAIN, THE CONTEST ENDS AT 9 PM EASTERN TIME ON CHRISTMAS EVE !! NO EXCEPTIONS. YOU FOLKS ON CENTRAL, MOUNTAIN, AND PACIFIC TIME PLEASE MAKE NOTE!

WE WILL ANNOUNCE THEM HERE ON CHRISTMAS MORNING, SOME TIME AFTER MRS. CLAUS HAS HAD HER COFFEE…..
PM ME IF YOU OR YOUR FOLKS HAVE QUESTIONS.

WELL KIDS, I SUGGEST YOU GET BUSY!!!
AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL THE TRAPPERMAN FAMILY!!!
