Everybody's got something to say. So, for the third week-long challenge, we're asking you to write a little something, magnetic fridge poetry style.
Using the sheet of words provided, piece together something absurd, a poignant statement, a wry witticism, or even an actual poem. You can keep your entry short and sweet or ramble on, make it industry-related or comment on the cosmos.
The entries will be judged and the 5 most well-crafted combinations will win $199 subscriptions for Veer Marketplace. You can enter as many times as you want.
------------------------------------
How to participate:
1. Download the PDF.
2. Print & cut out the individual words (you can do this on-screen if you like).
3. Choose and arrange words into an interesting sentence, phrase, or poem.
4. Take a photo (or a screenshot) of your creation.
4. Host the file wherever you like (Flickr, TwitPic, Veer Ideas, etc.).
5. Sign up or sign in to your free Veer Ideas account.
6. Post the URL of your photo here, in the comments section of this post.
Having trouble signing in? See the first comment below, for help.
------------------------------------
Entries will be judged on originality, creativity, and typographic excellence! You have until next Thursday (October 1st, 11:59pm PDT) to enter. We'll announce and post the five winners here and on Twitter (VeerUpdate) on Friday.

Remember, folks! You need to be signed in to your Veer Ideas account before you post your entries. If it says "Guest" where your avatar should be, we'll have no way of contacting you.
If you click this link and it takes you to your Veer Ideas profile page, then you're signed in. If you are signed into your Veer account but have yet to set yourself up with a Veer Ideas profile, you'll appear as a guest - in which case, clicking the link above will put you on track to setting that up.
If that still doesn't work for you, just drop me a note at ideas@veer.com with your name & email address and a link to your profile page, so we'll have a way to contact you if you win. Thanks!
