We, the Ad Team, are looking for new and creative ways and ideas to promote Livewire as well as allow the current members to enjoy the site and what it has to offer. This isn't the first time we've done such a contest, but this one is definitely going to be much more different than those... this one is going to have a wide variety of ways to enter as we want everyone to have an opportunity to join in.  

Points AND Donations will be given as PRIZES!
Contest will run until 12:00pm EST, July 31.
The plan is 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for each category, with a possibility of 1st place winning a donation towards their LW accounts (we are still discussing these details and will release this information as soon as possible).

VERY IMPORTANT!! MUST READ BEFORE ENTERING!!

  Donations are welcomed even if you don't enter.

• Any member is eligible to enter as many times as they wish, with the exception of the judges (sorry guys).

• All entries must be original work made by the member(s). No cheating, or you will be disqualified and your points will NOT be refunded!

Click here and all your wildest dreams will come true.

We're also looking for a better site than Cafepress, as we're not making money off it whatsoever- even if we did sell a few items on there. We have to meet a specific quota on there in order to make money off the stuff, but we've never hit it and it's as helpful as originally thought it would be. So if ANYONE knows of an alternative way of doing this- PM me!!

immaculate- can't wait to see them. :) We desperately need an update on all of our social networking pages right now.

It's like Dawn of the Dead, except for a few minor changes. We planned on making it so the whole outside world was infected by the disease, and how people were coping with the worldwide infection. Decisions had to be made on whether to kill their family members in order to stay alive, or to not kill their family members.

Me and my partners also wanted to focus on how people SURVIVED during the outbreak. Barricading and food rationing were showed in this video, and I must say that we did a pretty damn good job showing the emotional aspects of the epidemic.

Now here is my Dawn of the Dead spoof:
