May Contest
Welcome to our series of monthly contests.
This month’s subject: a Twisted slogan…
May’s contest is NOT a haiku at all. We’re looking for a slogan for Twisted. Think “Got Milk” or “Just Do It.” Something appropriate for t-shirts and bumper stickers. Something fun, funky, and fresh. Something that encapsulates the Twisted vibe. Feel free to submit crazy and/or bawdy slogans, as we’ll surely enjoy reading them, however the winner will be something that your mother would not be embarrassed to read on the bumper off the car in front of her while stopped at a red light. For this month, multiple entries will be allowed. Again, this is NOT a haiku contest this month! No haiku slogans, unless they’re exceedingly clever.
This month’s prize: a t-shirt and bumper sticker with our new catch phrase on it!
The winning entry will be chosen by Twisted’s proprietresses, Emily and Shannon. Our selection will be totally subjective and based on no predefined criteria we can articulate ahead of time. As they say, we’ll just know it when we see it.
Entries will be accepted through May 31 at midnight Pacific Time. We’ll mail the prize to the winner free if you’re in the US, though be warned it will be via the postal service’s slowest snail. Your entry in this contest comprises your agreement to all of the above and your permission to publish your entry and name on our blog. Good luck!
