DIYCOW is the web’s friendliest weekly clue-writing contest, and arguably the most popular thanks to its informality and open-to-all approach.
Unlike other contests, DIYCOW allows multiple entries. The winner-stays-on principle means that each weekly contest is judged as much according to the challenge setter’s preferences as aspects of technique, so a glance through the winners’ archive reveals a huge variety of styles from strictly Ximenean to outrageously Libertarian to downright quirky.
Entry is free and open to all, so please do join in.
PLEASE NOTE that if this is your first visit your first comment will have to be moderated before it appears – this is an anti-spam measure. DIYCOW is intended to be friendly to allĀ and, especially, encouraging to amateur clue-writers. Contributor comments on submitted clues should be constructive; nastiness won’t be tolerated!

hopefully changed my name back!
