So are you ready to be a Giant Squid? Do you have 50 quality lenses? Lenses you'd be proud to show off to your Grandma, best friend, hair dresser or boss?
Then apply to be a Giant Squid by sending us your Profile Page at giants@squidoo.com by Tuesday June 30th, 2009.
A lot of people have been asking us lately "What constitutes a quality lens?" A quality lens is a lot of things. Thought provoking, funny, personal, well planned out, beautiful to look at, creative, useful, daring, fun, helpful, educational, passionate, caring, flowing, grammatically correct, etc. While your lens probably won't encompass every aspect on the list it will most certainly have a few! Lenses that are scammy, poorly constructed, lacking in purpose or underdeveloped just won't get our attention.
So use good old common sense. If it looks like a good lens, passes the Grandma test and you feel in your gut that you did your best you're probably good to go. So relax, have a cup of tea, pat yourself on the back and put your feet up for awhile. You've earned it!
If you have ALMOST 50 lenses you're still in the running. In face it is quite possible to create 10, 15 or even 20 quality lenses in one week. Think of it as cramming for a test, writing a term paper or running a marathon...you CAN do it!
Ready, set, GO GIANTS!
