the summer sensational mini-scavenger hunt!
update: this event has ended
who: YOU!
where: THE INTERNET!
when: NOW!
DETAILS:
1. anyone is free to join in!
2. sadly, there aren't any real prizes for winning... all you get is self-satisfaction, brief electronic glory, and a plethora of virtual gold stars.
3. send all answers & pictures to sreudian.flips@gmail.com and be sure to clearly say which question you are responding to. you don't have to send in all the answers at once but multiple answers/pictures can be sent in the same e-mail but, again, be sure to clearly indicate which is which. PLEASE, do NOT post your answers in any of the comment section on this site. it would make it just way too easy for lazy people to participate.
4. the contest begins TODAY and runs until FRIDAY JULY 31. entries will be excepted up until 11:59PM on friday july 31st. the winner(s) will be announced sometime during the week of august 3-7.
5. judges have the right to disqualify anyone who they feel are not playing fairly or are being discriminatory or for any other reason.
6. points are given on the discretion of the judges. no amount of complaining will change the judges minds or your score. in fact, complainers are subject to point deductions for unsportsmanlike conduct.
7. submitted photos become the property of the scavenger hunt and may be posted on the internet and reproduced without permission.
