THE 1000 CONTEST!!!





(Above: Mom and Dad)

To celebrate this blog's 1000th post, we will be holding a very special contest.

The challenge is to design a Kiki Strike t-shirt. (Thanks for the idea, AWB!) The t-shirt does not need to show Kiki Strike, but it must be in the spirit of the books. The design can feature an illustration, photo, or even a phrase. So it doesn't matter if you prefer to write or draw--your talents can be put to work!

A panel of experts will choose five finalists. Those five t-shirt designs will be posted on the blog. The winner will be chosen by YOU!

Entries must be sent to kikistrike@gmail.com no later than midnight on February 26th. The five finalists will be posted at 9am EST on February 27th, and the winner will be declared on February 28th!

The winner will receive two t-shirts featuring his/her own design and a little something extra from me!

GOOD LUCK

UPDATE: Each person may submit up to three entries.

The Irregular Girl said...

YAY!

Can I put the design/phrase/whatev in an attachment in an email? I'm not sure how you do that, but it seems to be the only way you'd be able to send an actual design/picture.
