Looking for an ancient zCB drabble contest thread

I'm looking for a writing contest thingy that was held here years ago, and I can't find it. If anyone knows of the thread's whereabouts, please let me know.

Considering that several people have held writing contests before, can you be a little more specific?

If its way wayy back don't a certain amount of threads end up deleting/being erased once they go passed a certain page?

They get archived and harder to find unless you have a link to them.

There was a limit of 100 words and they had to be based on a one-word prompt. I remember it being underway at some point near November 2009, but I scoured the zCB from Nov '09 through Feb '10 and couldn't find it. I'm almost certain it eventually fell victim to "long-running contest syndrome", i.e., never being played out to its completion, but I don't recall whether it was officially canceled or just faded out.

No, it definitely wasn't just a small part of a much larger event. It was a standalone. And that one has a 100-word minimum, not maximum. I remember the one I'm looking for had multiple rounds as well; each prompt was a different round. I also know there was a line in the "how to play" post that said something like "you can use synonyms, like if the prompt is 'big' you can use 'large' or something", but that's massively paraphrased.
