Contests, contests, contests! MYO and $25!

Hey, look at the two contests I'm holding right now:

MYO Masquerade Contest for Summer!EDIT: new end date: July 2nd!!
Hey, everyone!
I recently realized I haven't done anything in my :iconmylittlemasquerades: Masquerades group for a while, so I am holding another MYO Masquerade contest! This one will be a themed one around summer, as it's an end-of-school celebration (even if you're not in school)!
RULES
- The challenge is to create a Masquerade themed around summer! You can be creative with this, using only beach colours, theming it around water or warmth, etc!
- Create a background story for your character (doesn't have to be in-depth, but you could win because of it!)
- You can create a Lower class OC unless you create a journal advertizing this journal, and link it below, then you can make a Middle class OC instead!
- You can enter only ONCE
- Make sure you follow the rules of Masquerades here: Masquerade D Win your own Masquerade!
JUDGING -500 watchers contestHi, everyone! I know at the moment I only have 480 watchers but I had to do this contest now before Earth Day because the earth needs our help.
Please don't click away just yet, there will be prizes at the end!
  I know that a lot of people want to be ignorant about these things (me included sometimes) because what we don't know won't hurt us, right? So wrong. The earth is our home, we should all care about it and want to do whatever we can to help solve problems in it. I could spend this journal explaining to you about global warming, dying polar bears, and the production of harmful chemicals and plastics but we already know about these things. The problem here is that we spend so much of our time educating the public about the problems (which, -don't get me wrong- is a good thing) but we forget to mention everyday solutions to these problems.
That's where you come in. I am holding an art contest in celebration of Earth Day and there are some Win $25 and commissions!



Thanks :3 sorry for spamming you but I really want to get the word out!
