This is the first in a series of eight, or maybe more, contests that will be held here on Pink for October, in an attempt to get more people involved during the Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And since I have explained how the contest will be played, and also introduced all our generous sponsors, we should not waste anymore time. Let’s get started!
The word for today is RIBBON.
That’s right. Go look for a picture, or take one if you can, that shows a ribbon, obvious or otherwise. Then write a description about it on your blog and leave me a comment in the comments section. Be creative! Think out of the box :D
Please note that the comments section for this post will be closed at 11:59 pm on Sunday, Oct 5th, and the next word will then be announced at 12 am on Monday, Oct 6th (all times in GMT). Also, I suggest that you subscribe to the Pink for October feed to avoid missing any updates and contests!
P/S: I am sorry this post is some 2 hours later than it should have been posted. I was confused about the different time zones (I live in Malaysia, +0800 GMT).
That was fun! Here’s my entry: http://laviedelaurie.com/2008/10/01/the-history-of-the-pink-ribbon/

My ribbon entry isn’t overly creative, but I did find a cool pic of a ‘human ribbon’. :)
Thanks!

So, what is a ribbon but a long, carefully wound/woven bit of fiber/filament used for purposes of decoration? You said to think outside the box, so here’s my entry… Thanks for the inspiration!

Its not entirely breast cancer related but I did add a little fact about breast cancer to make it relevant :)

I am not a creative person but love the empire state building in pink and love seeing the ribbon flying at the race each year! Wouldn’t it be nice not to have to have the race becuase there is a cure!
