1st Way Worldwide Meme Contest, 2013

 1^st Way

Meme Contest

(Now Open to Worldwide Competition)

Memes are like “mini-posters” that convey a message powerfully, in a quick, creative way. The goal of 1^st Way's meme contest is to help make 1^st Way and the goals of 1^st Way better known in our community and to help make the new “Talk to a Friend” online outreach popular and successful. By taking part in this contest, you can help women feel cared about and supported and you may also save a baby's life. (example to the right)

Memes may be created on the following themes:

1. Friendship
2. Helping friends maintain purity
3. Helping a Pregnant friend choose life
4. Choosing life will not ruin your future.
5. Strong women choose life. 
   6. Respect for life in all its stages and forms.

1. Pictures of aborted fetuses.
2. Direct references to abortion only.
3. Emphasis on saving babies without reference to caring about women themselves.
4. Indecent pictures or captions, especially those related to sex.

CREATIVE HELP

1. Any public domain pictures are okay. However, I put together a collection of pictures to help you get started: http://pinterest.com/talktoafriend/

The “adorable animals,” “BFFs,” and “empowered” boards are the best to draw from for ideas and pictures to use, but the rest are okay if you want to use them.

2. Google “meme generator” websites. There are many to choose from.
