Every winner: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, from all three categories will receive a 4koma depicting Rin's reaction to your love confession! His reaction will depend on your place and gift!
One random lucky shark, who isn't a first place winner, will receive a one month Premium Membership.

Come now, don't be shy! Btw, anyone planning on entering those two categories? On another note, there's been a couple of more sharks added to the list of contestants! Hoooooorray! Don't forget sharks... there's only a month 1/2 left!! So get to it! Oh, and before I forget, please note on the comment box of your entry that it's an entry for the club's "I Love Rin Contest" and a link to this journal! The more publicity, the better for you sharks! Why? Well, like I mention below... the more contestants...the better the prizes will get from my end!


Hello my fellow shark lovers! It's time for the I Love Rin Contest! You made it possible, you made it happen, and now here it is! We all love this moody shark! Why not express our love for him in a fun way? Now, in order to do this, let's pretend he's real... Ooh la laa~ What a beef cake! FOCUS!! You love him, and would like to tell him so... but not verbally... you're too shy. Then what can you do? A love letter? No. A poem? No. It has to be something that will represent him, speak for itself, and not to mention, you! Let's get creative and go beyond!  

You decide to...

BAKE
Bake him something! Make him a cake, a pie, cookies, brownies! You name it! It has to represent Rin in some way. I don't just want to see a plate of chocolate chip cookies. That tells me zilch! Get creative and make them shark shape. Food presentation is a must! I won't give you too much ideas, you gotta think of em! Surprise me and everyone else! So for all those who love to bake, this will be your chance to show that lovable shark how much you love him!

CRAFTS
Make him something! A scarf, a hoodie, a plushie, a figurine! Papier mâché something! Get crafty for the love of Rin! Again, it must represent Rin in some shape or form! A plain red scarf means nothing! Remember, there's a bunch of girls trying to get your man! So, for all those that love to crochet, knit, mold, and what not, this is your chance! Show them what you got! I'm sure Rin will love to display what you've done for him!

ART
Draw your man in all his glorious glory! Of course that's not creepy! Why would he think that? I mean, come on.... that's all your hands can do! And at this rate, it might be the only advantage you got to win his heart. One thing though! I don't just wanna see a shirtless Rin.... then he will really think that's creepy and that you may be a little cuckoo! Draw/paint him in a caring way, in a beautiful way, in a way that it shows that you love and care for him.

Now that you've decided on what to do, let's go and read the rules! Yay!

RULES
You may only enter ONE category. So choose wisely!
One entry per person! So, give it all you got!
Your entry must be made after today, Dec 2nd 2013! No entries before today.
Must be made by you, and only you! No collaboration! Unless you are a tad to young to use the oven or a knife, then it's understood.....
Must be a member of the club in order to participate. Why wouldn't you be?
Have fun! Don't burn, cut, or poke yourself!

I hope those were clear enough! Rules can be so much fun, no? Now, prizes, let us not forget! Each category will have a first, second, and third place winners! Here we go:
