Contest Brief

We are looking for a copywriter who can provide 3 high quality captions which are interesting and humorous about famous bodybuilders we have selected.
.
WHEN YOU ARE AWARDED THIS CONTEST, YOU WILL BE ASKED TO TAKE ON A LARGER PROJECT (more than 30 captions) SO PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR BEST SAMPLES.
We will present the terms of that larger project after you win this contest with the sample you will submit to us.
.
OBJECTIVE:
For each of the 3 bodybuilders that we have selected who you can find here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/is7fapnkc54xm9y/3%20Bodybuilders.pdf), write one light-hearted / humorous caption which captures one or more of the distinctive characteristics related to that person.

Make the caption rhyme in order to have it be more appreciated by children. The content will be for a light-hearted children’s bedtime book (ages 4 to 9) that parents will read to their children. Children need to enjoy the rhymes, and parents need to enjoy the information & humor.

Each full caption will start with a letter and name linked to that letter, for example “A is for Adam” then continue to the caption you will write. The caption you will write should not exceed 80 characters including spaces.

EXAMPLE:
You can find an example of captions that achieve this with a famous artists with a child-friendly caption and illustration relating to Hip Hop Artists. Note that these captions do not rhyme (but yours should rhyme as mentioned before): https://www.dropbox.com/s/j2mdl6dzu8m81r9/Example%20for%20Hip%20Hop%20%28but%20does%20not%20rhyme%29.pdf

    Thanks for the clarification. I have compromised the information and rhyme a little bit to stay within the limit. I shall withdraw my present entry and offer you a new modified one for your consideration.

    Dear all,
    Thank you for your entries as well as revised entries.
    Regarding the topic of candidates exceeding the character limit receiving high ratings:
    For those who exceeded this character limit, yet also exceeded our expectations when it came to creativity and good content, we allowed some leeway on the character limit. Because it's easier to trim down words off of an excellent caption than it is to add excellence to an ordinary caption. Thank you for understanding. Looking forward to seeing your new entries!

      Thanks for this clarification - I had modified my initial entry extensively as well to meet the character limit. If this is not a mandatory requirement I can submit my next entry accordingly.

      Thank you for the clarification. I withdrew my previous entry and resubmitted a new one which captures almost all of the descriptions of the bodybuilders. Please see entry 89. By the way, I really enjoyed making this one. Thanks!

    Hi, I know you haven't yet offered any feedback for my entry #79 , but did also notice that the current top entries exceed your 80 character limit. I did extensive edits on my entry to get within the limit. But would love to offer a second entry with extra characters if that option is on the table.

    Dear CH: thank you for your useful feedback! I noticed that most -if not all- of your top reviewed entries exceed by far your character count requirement. Can we surpass the 80 qty? Please notice the samples you provided are super short

    You may have noticed that we have extended the contest, and you now have 4 days and 22 hours to check out our ratings, reviews, and resubmit your captions accordingly.
    Please note that the current top candidates to be awarded this project are entries with 4 stars. These are entries which have captions that relate specifically to the bodybuilder they mention, and they do so in an interesting way which parents as well as children could enjoy.
    We look forward to seeing your new submissions, and hopefully award this contest and the larger project (around 30 captions) to the best entry!
    Thank you all!
