Due October 17th, 2013 - GIFs are awesome, and they can teach stuff too! Now Project ED wants you to create GIFs that teach.

For this contest, you've got five sensory words to choose from. Pick one and create an original GIF image that illustrates the definition of the word.

The words in this contest signal your sense of taste, touch, sight, smell, or sound. The best writers use words that speak to these five senses. This activates the reader’s mind and makes a story come alive. Now it’s your turn. Pick the one word below that’s best for the story you want to tell.

Choose ONE of the following words:
   1. Fetid - Fetid is an adjective that means smelling extremely unpleasant. It could be rancid, musty, or foul. Whatever it is, it stinks!
   2. Cacophony - Cacophony is a noun that means a mixture of harsh, unpleasant sounds. Have you heard a noise like this, but lacked just the right word to describe it? Now you do!
   3. Scrumptious - Scrumptious is an adjective that means extremely appetizing or delicious. This is a special treat word. Show us how much you like it!
   4. Scorching - Scorching is an adjective that means very hot — hot enough to burn.
   5. Radiant - Radiant is an adjective that means vividly bright and shining. Dazzle us with your brilliance and make your six seconds count!

In your GIF image that is less than 2 MB, you must:
   1. Choose one word from the list provided.
   2. Show the word, part of speech, and definition graphically on screen throughout the GIF.
   3. Clearly demonstrate the meaning of the word.
