"Good morning everyone!" Tipsy cried to the gathered crowd. She had lured them in with promises of a free breakfast and a grand competition, industriously spread by her tribemates. "As you all may have heard, I will be the spokeskin for a new competition during this event! My employers, who may or may not be affiliated with Rise and Co., have declared that fabulous prizes will be available to the two kin that win. In keeping with tradition, this event will have specialized costumes, made by Never Idle, one reflecting the beauty and grace of Matope, The Crane, and the other reminiscent of The Black Dog cycle in the form of The Wolf."
She smiled and waited for the murmurs of approval to die down. "Each participant can only compete for one title. The Crane and The Wolf will each be announced at the end of the event.
"But how do you win such a prize? We have compiled a list of activities you can take on. You can do as many or as little as you like, and gain points to be tallied by myself. Some activities require creativity, or bravery, or even help from others. But the most important qualifier is that you do your best, and give it your all, for the winners will be those deemed most worthy to personify The Crane and The Wolf.
"To hear the lists, or to claim points, come see me and my assistants. Now, good luck!"

RULES:
You may only enter one kin, so choose wisely and put all your effort into it. This is the ONLY solo large contest, so work well! The crane and wolf prizes can be awarded to any gender.
Please carefully pay attention to the codes that go with every prompt. You will have to replace USERNAME HERE with your username and KIN NAME HERE with the kin you are entering, every time.
Example
(TITLE) Patmos of Endtimes: Swiftly Tilting Entry: yay I put the thing here!
Pictures must be either sized for easy viewing, or under a spoiler, and no wider than 1000 pixels.
Writing prompts must be at least 150 words, and no more than 800, per kin if the prompt requires more than one. Ain't nobody got time to read that much.
Prompts that include other kin must all be confined to one post, to cut down on clutter, or elsewise be a separate RP thread, and linked to in this main thread.
Prompts are worth the points they are sectioned in, unless noted to have a modifier. The maximum potential points any one kin can get is 70.
You can post as many prompts to one post as you like. It is, in fact, encouraged that you only make one post of entries a day, editing when you need. At the end of the day I will gather up points, so please, do not edit additional prompts into yesterday's post!
At the end of the event, Tipsy will be the final judge of winners. The points may or may not matter. This is also not a popularity contest.
The Grand Prizes will not be made until the winners are picked, so that Rejam can custom make them. Every participant, however, has the option of claiming a butterfly accessory.
