The rules are the same as last year's contest.


Every day from now through October 24th, I'll add a photo to this page. You'll have a day to come up with and post a humorous or witty caption to the photo (remember to sign your caption). At the end of that day, I'll post the next days' photo and allow you all to vote on the caption you like most from the previous day. The winner of each day will get an award on their user page, and their photo caption will be entered in a finalists vote for the end of the week. If there are any ties, I'll cast the deciding vote (therefore, I won't be participating). Voting will be done by use of the poll feature (I'm not worried about strict scientific accuracy).

You must be registered to place a caption. However, you do not need to be registered to vote on the captions. Captions need to be appropriate and follow the rules. Only one caption per user per photo please; if you want to change your caption, you may up until the end of the day.

Hello Sims Wikians! Some of you may remember that a year ago, I did a week-long caption contest. The response to that contest was so positive, so I wanted to keep it going but I never got around to doing it again.

Well, wait no more - it's back!

Rules[edit source]

The rules are the same as last year's contest.

I'll add a photo to this page. You'll have a day to come up with and post a humorous or witty caption to the photo (remember to sign your caption). At the end of that day, I'll post the next days' photo and allow you all to vote on the caption you like most from the previous day. The winner of each day will get an award on their user page, and their photo caption will be entered in a finalists vote for the end of the week. If there are any ties, I'll cast the deciding vote (therefore, I won't be participating). Voting will be done by use of the poll feature (I'm not worried about strict scientific accuracy).

You must be registered to place a caption. However, you do not need to be registered to vote on the captions. Captions need to be appropriate and follow the rules. Only one caption per user per photo please; if you want to change your caption, you may up until the end of the day.

Since we're starting today late, the captions for this image won't be due until October 19th (at 00:00 UTC).

October 17/18[edit source]

Without further ado, here's the first photo!
