ATTENTION:
Itachi & Naruto Contest Award 2009

About:
Loyal Itachi/Naruto/Itachi fans, I have some news for you. You may have noticed that there have been many awards in the Naruto fandom but none of them for this particular pairing. A few friends and I have decided that Itachi/Naruto/Itachi pairing does not get the attention it deserves and had planned to start a award specifically for this pairing. Starsofyaoi, Yum2, Agni, and I (Saniwa) have come up with the first Itachi/Naruto/Itachi fanwork contest. Currently, it is only limited to Fanfiction but we hope to expand the project to incorporate other branches of fanwork as well. I hope that you will help us in this endeavor to bring recognition to this wonderful pairing.

The Juries:
may.neuma (Saniwa)
Starsofyaoi (Masterfranny)
Yum2
Agni

The Dates:
Advertising (February 20 - March 27)

During this period, I humbly request all my readers and Itachi/Naruto fans to advertise on your profiles, blogs, etc. We need to draw attention of the fandom to succeed in this endeavor and I hope that all of you will support us.
