Web sites will Go Pink during the month of October to bring attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, get people talking about breast cancer, and raise money for research. But to be clear, raising money isn’t the primary purpose of this web event. The hope is that you turn your site pink (in whatever way works for your site), educate yourself about the multiple issues related to Breast Cancer, then take that knowledge and tell someone else what you’ve learned.

Contest: Mastectomy

This is the sixth in a series of eight a la photo hunt contests that will be held here on Pink for October, in an attempt to get more people involved during the Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The word for today is MASTECTOMY. You see this coming too, no? :D

That’s right. Go look for a picture, or a comic strip, or draw one if you can, that best describes a mastectomy, obvious or otherwise. But please make sure that your picture is work-safe and children-safe (we hope to keep this contest and website friendly, and not adult-oriented). Then write a description (or a joke or an anecdote) about it on your blog (also, please do not copy-and-paste from Wikipedia or other online sources) and don’t forget to leave me a comment in the comments section! If you didn’t leave me a comment and your link, I wouldn’t know that you have participated, and most of all, your name will not be in the draw! Again, be creative and think out of the box :D

The comments section for this post will be closed at 11:59 pm on Wed, Oct 22th, and the next word will be announced at 12 am on Thurs, Oct 23th (all times in GMT). Also, I suggest that you subscribe to the Pink for October feed to avoid missing any updates and contests! Please visit the contest page and the sponsors page for more information.
