    Runners-Up 5-8 years age group Name: Clara T Age: 5 Description: This story was inspired by a large sequin star that Clara brought home from pre-school. She held it in her hand as she spoke the story. “The stars are kind. They help to look after people and make them happy. That is what makes the stars heroes”. Judges notes: “Beautiful imagination and empathy. Fiction teaches us to care about others – such empathy at so young an age!” The Stars Shine There are stars that help us to climb on them and the rainbow helps to make a ladder to them and then the people can get them when they are really sad. The stars will help them and they fill their buckets. They read a book to them and then give them and then give them cuddles when they have finished. It makes the sad person happy. About the rainbow – it will tell us somewhere quiet in the land and we fly out and no-one can see us if we want. We sit on the clouds and the rainbow will tell us if there are people that are sad. The stars move and she when they see someone crying and then they move down to help the person. Each person has a star.

  • Cartoons/Comics
    Delaware Winter Invitational, 2010 Cartoon and Comics packet by Mark Pellegrini, Rob Poirier, and Nick Lacock Tossups 1) Tim Curry provided the voice for this series' main antagonist, an ancient warrior- sorcerer who captured Atlantean souls in the Crystal of Souls. Each episode ended with the protagonist giving an educational fact pertaining to the events in the episode. The main character's pet iguana Thor was once devolved into a dinosaur by Dr. Zygote. The titular character, accompanied by bodyguards Norman and Virgil, travels through portals in time and space using his red cap. This show is, for ten points, what cartoon based on the Polly Pocket toy line? ANSWER: Mighty Max 2) In this character's original appearance he was killed by an evil snowman. This character has taken on many roles, including a tooth fairy, a sumo wrestler, a pimp, a member of Osama Bin Laden's harem, a Vietnamese prostitute named Ming Li, and General Robert E. Lee. This character is given to frequent bouts of racism, such as his insistence that Jews can't be pirates, gingers have no souls, and all black people know how to play the bass guitar. He once made chili out of Scott Tenorman's parents. He frequently sings that his friend's mom is a big fat bitch, and demands that people respect his "authoritah." This is, for ten points, what fat character on South Park? ANSWER: Eric Cartman (Accept either) 3) This comic has spawned a number of TV specials, featuring the titular character in the Rough, on the Town, in Paradise, and going to Hollywood.
