Their rivalry goes back for millennia. Their fight has shattered innumerable lives. Ladies and gentleman, it’s quite possibly the greatest clash of all human civilization, and you get to decide the winner. That’s right, it’s…

Sharks vs. Cats

If you’re brave enough for the challenge, then go forth and pledge your allegiance to either Team Sharks or Team Cats. Once you take your oath, your avatar be adorned with the creature of your choice, and you’ll be able to add posts to the Sharks vs. Cats Arena in support of your comrades.

Victory will come only with your imagination and ingenuity pushed to their limits. The key to success is to make posts which clearly demonstrate the greatness of your chosen beast, as team-wide sums of Tumblarity will determine the winning side. We expect photoshops to play a large role in this battle, just as we expect you’ll be creative with all post types — each with the sole purpose of demonstrating your team’s dominance over the other.

In this, the ultimate showdown, may the best meme-worthy animal win.

Good luck, Tumblrs!

(PS — Big thanks to everyone at Tumblr for making this happen. Having such talented people work on such a wacky idea is really… Crazy.)
