We are having a contest on self caricature pain drawings and
the winner will have their drawing and their preferred signature line in the
Winter Devotions of Broken Body, Wounded Spirit: Balancing the See-Saw of
Chronic Pain.
Here are the details:
Format of drawing:
- Self caricature, drawn by you.
- Black and white only.
- Jpeg format.
Submitting your own self caricature
Scan it and save it to a file as a jpg, then attach it to
your email with contest in the subject line and submit it to Submission-Contest@outlook.com.
Deadlines:
- Phase I – All submissions – October 15th (2013)
- Phase II – Top Three will be selected by an independent party, and will be uploaded via my blog http://fmcfstriggerpoints.blogspot.com/ by October 18th.
- Votes tallied via my author FB Page https://www.facebook.com/author.fibromyalgia.expert.pain.advocate in a note titled Caricature Contest, which will include a link to the blog with the top three drawings with assigned ID numbers.
- Phase III – Votes on the top three will be collected between October 18, 2013 and October 25, 2013 and announcement of the winner with a 2-3 sentence signature line of their choice will be announced by October 26th via a specific link from my blog.
Winner:
Everyone will really be a winner, because it is cathartic to
do a self caricature, and the experts suggest it is possibly one of the best
self reflection tools available. You DO
NOT need to be an artist; even stick figures can show emotion with the tilt of
a line or words surrounding it.
The winning self drawing will have their caricature
published in Broken Body, Wounded Spirit: Balancing the See-Saw of Chronic
Pain, Winter Devotions and a signed copy of the book.
Again, attach your jpeg (picture format) to your email with
contest in the subject line and submit it to:
Submission-Contest@outlook.com.

Your going to get some really weird looking pictures, ya know. I think it's the best idea to come my way in a long time. Thanks
LOL! I sure hope so. Pain is weird, difficult to describe with words, but often easy to see in a face and body language. Looking forward to it.
May multiple submissions be made, or one per person?
Good question Andrea. Since pain can affect us in different ways on different days, I don't think there should be a limit on the number of submissions. The top three will be chosen by a non pain patient that feels the drawings help them understand better what it must be like to be us.
