The Winter is coming… and NYPO is getting warmer. As the night closes in quicker, the light comes from the moon and the street lights pave the way back home from work, school or college. The weather is getting colder and the time for snow is coming closer. All of this brings us indoors and the different celebration going on in the last month of the year allows us to spend more time with family and friends.
December has always been associated as the month where Christmas comes around, where shopping and presents are on some people’s minds, but there is more to it… In the coming weeks there will be a number of articles published in the Hyperzine exploring the different cultures, traditions, events and memories they have of all the different things that happen during the month of December. Make sure you favourite the Hyperzine in your browser. (Shortcut Key: CTRL + D).
A competition has also been launched to allow everyone to get into the winter spirit and enjoy this time of the year! This is the first Winter Competition and has many different ways of NYPO members getting involved, from simply participating in the special Winter Competition Topic Threads on the NYPO forum to creating a poster with a winter theme that can contain anything imaginative like a poem, story and images related to Winter.
There is also a special Winter Competition Take 2! This allows everyone to design a winter themed logo for NYPO similar to way Google changes their logo for special events.
Further information on the Competition can be found and entries should be submitted to Winter Competition thread on the NYPO Forum. The winners will all have their work displayed on a special section of the NYPO Facebook Fan Page that will be available for everyone to see on Facebook as well as the Hyperzine.
Good luck to everyone who participates!
