Salutations once more, mortals!

I am pleased to announce the commencement of a new contest! We have
decided that given the number of you keen on exploration and travel, we
will have two contests based upon those themes!

For the literary aspirants amongst you, you are free to write anything
you choose, be it poetry, stories, or similar, but it must be based
around the theme of travel or exploration.

And for the artists, you're asked to draw maps! It can be a simple map
from one place to another, an illustrated map, a picture within a map,
but must be based on maps themselves.

In each contest, the prizes will be:

1st place - 200 credits
2nd place - 100 credits
3rd place - 50 credits

The deadline is 2359 GMT (by the TIME command), on the 31st of August
2004.

Rules:
You may only submit one work for this contest in each section.
You may only submit original, previously un-submitted work by yourself.

For further details on how to submit, read HELP ARTS.

Enjoy!
