TWO NEW CONTESTS!

1. DRAWING CONTEST- The Medium
This contest involves DRAWING! I am going to give you a character description of a character who I am working on creating for my new story. Your job is to illustrate the woman I am about to describe below.

Name: Isabella Carlson (may be changed later)
Age: Late 80s
Ethnicity: Ethiopian (black)
Hair: Once black, now a dark gray.
Height: 5'7"
Weight: Average
Eyes: Dark brown
Other: She wears glasses
Description: Isabella grew up in Ethiopia. Now she lives in Great Britain, in seclusion. She is the medium, someone who can talk to ghosts, and is very wise. She is fairly poor, but is happy. Her life is kind of eerie.

YOU ARE ALLOWED TO ASK ME FOR ONLY ONE ADDITIONAL DETAIL.

OFFICIAL RULES:
1) Must be your own work.
2) YOU ARE ALLOWED TO USE BASES FOR YOUR DRAWING (see info on this below)
3) No Nudity
4) Have Fun

Additional Info:
I am NOT judging this one by artistic ability. It is going to be judged by whoever can get the key factors of what she looks like, correct. Even if you draw a stick figure, but the person has a lot of what I am looking for in it, you may still have a chance of
getting in first place.
You can put any of my other characters that you know of in the picture too. I will tell you that Isabella Carlson will be important to my original character, Bree. If you would like to see an image of what she looks like, somewhat, let me know, and I will give you a link.

2. WRITING CONTEST - Poetry
This is a fairly easy and simple contest. Just write a poem revolving around the following concept:
"The world is not just black and white."

OFFICIAL RULES:
1) Must be your own work
2) Can be any form of poetry
3) Base your poem on what you believe the concept "The world is not just black and white," means.
4) Have fun.

ADDITIONAL INFO
This one will be judged not by poetic ability, but by how well you can match the concept I am looking for. The term "The world is not just black and white," can mean many things, but there is a particular concept I am looking for. Please enter if you can.
For an idea, take a look at my poem, "Not So Black and White." (It is the first poem on my dA profile.
