WRITING AND SUBMITTING THE CAPTION
Here you are at the most important part, writing the caption. Use these tips to guide you.
- Be creative, don’t do something that’s already been done, and don’t plagiarize.
- Don’t be offensive, and don’t involve violence in your caption.
- Make it relevant to the picture.
- Try looking at the caption from someone else’s point of view. (A tree, a volcano, grass).
- State the obvious. Sometimes the direct route is the best route.
- Use proper grammar, capitalization and punctuation.
