Show us your T-Shirt!
If you haven't gotten your signed t-shirt with a quote from one of Chuck's books, now is the time! And if you have gotten your t-shirt already, then grab your camera.
With Chuck's cooperation, we're having a Show Us Your T-Shirt Contest. Send a picture of you and your t-shirt, and we'll choose 5 semifinalists to forward on to Chuck. He'll then choose the winner and (this is really cool) the grand prize. We don't know what he'll choose; it could be an unpublished short story, something from his collection, it's totally up to him. The only thing we know for sure is that it'll be something really special, as only Chuck can do.
What are the guidelines, you ask?
- Pictures must feature the t-shirts that he signs for us, with the St. Helens Bookshop logo on the back.
- Pictures should be appropriate for a wide audience, i.e. no nudity, explicit drug use, essentially it should be able to appear on the front page of your local newspaper.
- You consent to have the picture published on our website, in our newsletter, and in our promotional materials. It'll just stay with us though; no third party access.
- If your picture includes people that aren't you, please make sure it's OK with those people that we use their image. We may have to ask for consent forms for all people featured in pictures.
- Format should be JPEG or JPG, and the size should not be larger than 500 kb; they should also be virus-free.
- There is no fee or cost for entering, but please only one entry per person.
- A BRIEF (25 words) description should also be included, along with the name of the photographer, the name(s) of all people in the picture
OK, so how do you enter? Send an email with the picture attached and the description and names in the body of the email, along with your name, address, phone number, to order at sthelensbookshop dot com. The deadline is June 30, with the winner and runners up to be announced in July.
