We want you to be a part of our very first Costume Bot Halloween costume contest! All you have to do is send us a picture of yourself in costume holding a printout of our Costume Bot mascot. That’s pretty much it. Just follow these instructions:
1. Download and print out THIS IMAGE of the Costume bot mascot.
2. Take a picture of yourself in your costume holding the printout of the Costume bot.
3. Email your picture to costumebot@gmail.com with “2011 Costume Contest” as the subject line. And be sure to include the following (cut and paste this in): ”I, YOUR NAME HERE, grant permission for my photo to be used by costumebot.com under the terms of the Creative Commons License. This means that although I retain the copyright and authorship of my own work, I am granting permission for costumebot.com to use my photo freely.” If photo subject is under 18, the email must come from a guardian over the age of 18 and include the following line: “I am the parent/legal guardian of the individual in the attached photograph and I have read this release and approve of its terms.”
4. Deadline for entry is November 10, 2011.
5. Winners will be announced after being contacted in reference to their choice of prize packs. There will be three winners over 18 and three winners under 18. Winners under the age of 18 must secure parental consent prior to entry or they will be disqualified. Winners under the age of 18 must be able to send in an adult guardian’s delivery address (preferably a work address) to receive their prize. Remember, you should never give out your home address or phone number to anyone you don’t know. Not even me.
6. The contest is for US residents only. I apologize to you other folks, but I can only afford US postage. If you have someone in the US who’d be willing to receive your prize for you, I’d consider your entry valid. Just note that fact when you send me your entry.
7. Prize packs will be shipped by November 30, 2011.
8. PRIZES: (always an important category). There are six prize packs as shown below in no particular order. First place winners will get first choice, with subsequent places picking from the remaining choices.
Prize Pack Number 1: Retail Value – $100.00
Prize Pack Number 2: Retail Value – $85.00
Prize Pack Number 3: Making of Sith & Ep I Portfolio – Retail Value – $76.95
Prize Pack Number 4: Magic of Myth & Technical Journal (OOP) – Retail Value – $59.95
Prize Pack Number 5: Star Wars Comic Compendiums – Retail Value – $43.85
Prize Pack Number 6: Star Wars Tales Comics – Retail Value – $119.70
Yes, the prizes are all Star Wars books, and some pretty pricey ones at that, but that doesn’t mean this is a Star Wars-centric contest. You may enter with ANY Halloween costume. I just happened to have a big batch of Star Wars books available for the contest, that’s all.
I should also mention that I will in no way share any information about you, including your email address, grooming habits, and fine dining preferences. Thanks for taking the time to enter the contest. Good Luck, everyone!
