Objectives: To give Argo the exposure she is due and to stimulate more fans to celebrate Argo in stories, poems, and art.

With all the thousands of stories written about Xena and Gabrielle we have found relatively few stories that focus on Argo or where Argo featured in a primary role. The same is true of fan art. In honor of Argo and her special contributions to Xena Warrior Princess we are announcing a special Argo Poetry/Story/Artwork Contest. We want Argo to receive the attention she is due and for all fans of Xena to demonstrate their writing or artistic talents to honor Argo. Being great fans of Tobias, special Tobias stories and artwork are also invited. All entries will be posted on the Argo and Friends and of the Ultimate Xena Cookbook and at Lynka's Xena Page as received. The winning stories and poems posted both at MaryD's Australian Xena Information Page, Lynka's Xena Page and Argo and Friends. Winning artwork will be exhibited at both at Felioness' Tales from the Children of Xena and Gabrielle and Argo and Friends

This contest is open to all fan fiction writers and artists and the contestant must agree to the use of his/her story. Entries will be sent to a panel of judges to select the winner in each category. Each entry will by numbered by category and the number will be used to identify the poems, stories, and artwork when sent to the judges. This is to ensure the greatest objectivity by the judges, especially in the case of more than one entry by the same person in more than one category. We are pleased to announce that our select panel of judges includes: P.D., Kym Taborn, Demeter, Wishes, and others to be announced.

In "Animal Attraction" we were introduced to Gabrielle's horse. We would love to have stories with Gabrielle's horse included, but not as the central character since this is an primarily an Argo contest.
