THE CONTEST

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

 

Win a contest and get a fast pass for you and a friend! Your entry should be appropriate relating to your interpretation of the retreat theme, "Christ Alone."

This year's contest is split into FOUR categories. You are allowed a maximum of one entry PER category. You MUST be registered to go to Winter Retreat. Submissions become the property of EFC Churches and its staff, and we reserve the right to modify any aspect of the rules to fit into the spirit of the contest.

  • Poetry or prose

Artwork

  • Take a picture of your artwork (drawing, painting, sculpture, etc.)

  • Allow creative content to carry a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License for the free sharing and remixing of content for the public domain.
Voting

December 6-20, 2010


A small committee will choose the top entries in each of the four categories, and open voting for those signed up to go to Winter Retreat will occur December 6-20, 2010. We reserve the right to modify any aspect of the voting to fit into the spirit of the contest.

Prize

Fast Pass FTW


Each category winner will earn TWO food fast passes (allows cutting in food line). If a person wins in two categories, the second place winner with more votes in their own category than the other second place winner in the other category will earn two food fast passes. The same principle will apply if a single person wins in three or four categories. Just trust us, it makes sense in our heads.
