The ability to convey a message by adding a few words to a picture is something that can have a massive effect when harnessed properly and it takes a certain amount of skill to create a meme that can capture the imagination and thought of its viewers.*** \n<br>\n***I'd like to openly harness this power by challenging you to create a meme which conveys a given message in a way that will make the viewer think about things that we take for granted in society from another perspective,<br> by making them question their already existing beliefs on certain subjects.***\n***\n<center>http:\/\/cdn.firespring.com\/images\/c8246ff7-5921-48e3-a491-8d3e84e2317f.jpg<\/center>\n<center>[source (http:\/\/cdn.firespring.com\/images\/c8246ff7-5921-48e3-a491-8d3e84e2317f.jpg)<\/center>\n***\n***Even as a traditionalist who enjoys the written word and takes pleasure in reading at length when the opportunity arises,<br> I can't deny the power of the meme,<br> especially so in the modern,<br> twenty-four hour world where our attention spans seem to have suffered a noticeable decrease.***\n<br>\n***I'm a victim of this myself and I only have so much time like the rest of you,<br> so being able to convey a message that inspires as much thought as would a post that took four hours to write and is 3000 words long,<br> can be a pretty effective and convenient way of doing so,<br> although I wouldn't recommend doing it exclusively. :)***<\/center>\n\n\n***\n<center>![when the taxman says you owe him money meme.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmSCNncga7CndzXMkauNVtpntPCPPz7H78PZU8Cji1TtGH\/when%20the%20taxman%20says%20you%20owe%20him%20%20money%20meme.jpg)<\/center>\n\n***\n<center>***While a good meme can make you laugh,<br> a great meme can make you cry and a really great meme can help you see the world in a whole new light.*** \n<br>\n***It's one thing to make your viewers laugh by taking the piss out of Donald Trump or any number of other 'celebrated' individuals. It takes a certain amount of skill to be funny,<br> I'll admit.***\n***\n<center>![ALIEN MEME 1.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmbcKJdipfRLKbSqJkWU85BzP2rwcZeMCeY9XoRMPBsugv\/ALIEN%20MEME%201.jpg)<\/center>\n<center><\/center>\n***But to convey an important message about the problems we face as a society in a subtle and thought provoking way is a much harder task in my opinion and it's in this that I find excitement at the possibility for disseminating information that I think should be of importance to all of us,<br> which is why I will be setting a meme challenge every day for the next ten days for you to come up with a meme that represents your views on certain controversial subjects of my choosing. :)***<\/center>\n***\n\n# <center>***Todays Theme Is***<\/center>\n<center>![WAR MEME.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmZ7QG4S5dKm4tET4AFBoXQTrZgeefJWqbGgNBMjcz4PLX\/WAR%20MEME.jpg)<\/center>\n\n***\n<center>***To enter the challenge,<br> simply create a meme based around your thoughts,<br> opinions and position on what the word 'WAR' means to you.***\n<br>\n***When you've made your meme,<br> you can either make a post for you own blog yourself,<br> or you can upload your meme to your steemit blog using [dmania.lol (https:\/\/dmania.lol\/). D-mania is a meme hosting site and recent addition to the steem blockchain which has eceived a large delegation of SP and at the moment are running an auto-vote bot which is upvoting trending memes on its site.***\n<br>\n***Since my own account is still relatively small and I can't guarantee how much the prize will be,<br> I thought it would be a good idea to utilise D-mania in order to both support their growth by hopefully supplying quality content and also by giving you the chance of an upvote from their bot if you create a great meme but don't win a prize in the contest.*** \n<br>\n***Whichever method of entry you choose,<br> be sure to include 'Memes That Matter' in the title as well as the theme you are entering and add the hashtag #memesthatmatter as one of the tags .***\n\n## ***And that's it!***<\/center>\n\n<center>***Upvotes and resteems would be appreciated if you are going to enter but there is no compulsion to do so.***<\/center>\n\n***\n# <center>***Prizes!***<\/center>\n\n<center>***Each round of the challenge will end after the seven day reward period and I will choose a winner from each round who will receive half of the liquid rewards from that rounds post,<br> as well as a [Trophy-Token (https:\/\/steemit.com\/contest\/@trophy-token\/trophy-token-an-award-for-excellence-on-steemit-com),<br> for which you will need a Bitshares account.
