Contest Background
Have you ever heard about the traveling garden gnome? It kind of goes like this: Cherished garden gnome goes missing from older couple's yard. Owners are devastated. A few weeks later, a postcard arrives from Paris with lots of love from the gnome and a few words of explanation for going on a walkabout. Photos of the gnome riding a camel, camping at Everest base camp and surfing in Fiji follow over the course of the year. One fine day, gnome turns up back in the garden and life goes on as nothing had ever happened.
The garden gnome inspired us to propose a contest for Club Fat Ass members...
Objective
Determine the most exotic place a Club Fat Ass t-shirt visits or the most cool adventure a t-shirt has during the a calendar year.
How it Works and How to Submit
- The contest submissions are posted on a photo sharing site called Flickr.
- post a photograph of your club colours visiting somewhere exotic or involved in some adventurous activity to Flickr. Make sure to then submit contest photos to the Flickr CFA group pool and tag them with TravellingColoursContest2009 and TravellingColoursContest
- Detailed instructions on how to upload photos via Flickr are posted here.
- Alternatively you can send us your photo (digital .jpg format only) and your write-up
- include a few words (no more than 200) that explain where the photo was taken and any relevant background you feel is required if the photo doesn't speak for itself. (If you don't offer a description, we might write one for you!)
- ideally, you will be in the t-shirt, but it's not a requirement (e.g. the t-shirt might be on someone even more exotic than you!)
- how you define exotic is up to you
- tasteless and crude are allowed, but we have to draw the line at submissions that we feel are offensive
- you can submit as many photos as you want
- contest ends 31 December
- to see submissions over the years scroll down to the bottom of this page and follow the links
Prize
- A full refund of your 2010 membership dues if you win
- Bragging rights and a place of honor on the Club Fat Ass and Flickr websites
- More prizes if we can get some sponsorship over the course of the year
