Contest Reminders
It’s after the first of the year, so I thought I’d remind everyone about the ongoing contests.
* The Japhrimel Slogan Contest This contest is all about Japhrimel. Send a witty slogan suitable for coffee mugs and bumper stickers here. (Be sure to put “Japhrimel Slogan Contest” in the subject line!) The five best ones will be voted on by the fantastic Dark Siders. The first-place winner will get a free coffee mug or bumper sticker with their slogan as well as have the resulting item in my CafePress shop named after them.
* The Valentine Art Contest Artists, this one’s for you! Send me a JPG of original artwork inspired by the Valentine series. Most entries will go in a Fan Art Gallery I’m about to stick onto my website. The winner of this contest will get a signed copy of Dead Man Rising and may even get a signed-by-me print of their submission, probably through CafePress as well. Send your art as an attachment here. Be sure to put “Valentine Art Contest” in the subject line or your entry will go into the rubbish bin. (Hint: There’s an upcoming Japhrimel-only art contest after the first of the year, artists!)
* The Watcher Short Fiction Contest The response to the Dead Man Rising Fiction Contest was so tremendous I’ve decided to do the same with the Watcher series. Send me a short piece of original fiction (12-14K words max) set in the Watcher’s world. The pieces will be judged by me and possibly my beta readers, depending on volume. The winner will receive signed copies of Fire Watcher and Cloud Watcher, and the three runners-up will be put in a PDF along with the winner and made available through my website. The entries must be sent here, with “Watcher Fiction Contest” in the subject line. Submissions must be double-spaced, with page numbers, with at least 12pt Courier or Times New Roman type. Submissions that don’t meet this criteria won’t be looked at. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pay attention to the subject line on your submission for all three contests! I am asking for these to keep my email inbox organized; submissions who don’t meet the subject line criteria will be trashed without being opened. I’m sorry, but due to the response volume, that’s the way it is.
These three contests will close January 31, 2007, so you have plenty of time during and after this crazy holiday season. I will announce winners February 15, 2007. Good luck!
