Art contest

                          ART CONTEST!
              YOUR ARTISTIC TALENT MAY EARN MONEY!

Amazon BBS is supposed to be a center for anyone interested in, or
is an, Amazon (Muscle-Woman).
It is a center where such folks can swap true or made up stories,
pictures, photos and comics.

WE have placed a number of stories, pictures and comics on Amazon
BBS already as a sort of "start-up-core". But we want YOUR
participation. We will even PAY for it, in a way.

The Farmers and The Aqua Lady featured a big, Amazon Woman who is
adapted for life under water. Our "core" of pictures does not yet
have a rendering of her in our files.
YOU render her picture!
Use pencil, ink and pencil, colored pencils, water or oil paints...
anything, to render what you think the Aqua Lady should look like,
based on the story.

WE at Amazon BBS will pay $75 for the best one received by
March 31, 1997 Your art will be displayed and downloadable both on
the bbs and the web-site.

And do not think you pencil- and colored-pencil-users will not have
a chance against an oil painter! While a well done oil painting
looks so real that one feels they could step right into the scene
on the canvas, sometimes they are all technique and no interest.

Remember, we'll be scanning these, so a colored-pencil rendering
will look little different from an oil one.

SUGGESTION:  Only mail a photographic copy of your art to us, not
your actual rendering.  ! OR !
If you have YOUR OWN scanner, scan it yourself and upload to us,
either directly into AMAZON BBS or into our CompuServe email box
(as a binary file). Our CompuServe email number is:  71533,714

We will also pay $8 each for the next five runner-ups.

                           CONDITIONS:

> All art-work received will be scanned and possibly placed in our
files. The SCANNED COPIES become our property. Originals will be
sent back.

> The Winner of the $75.00 or the five runner-ups of $8.00 each
will be selected by us and ONLY us (Amazon BBS). WE will be the
sole arbitrators of the issuing of awards.
