Warding Contest
So I had this idea for the best contest ever. I asked Lauren if she was down with it, and she was, so here we go.
The contest is simple:
Step 1: Go to the Creations page on my website and scroll down until you find the 18 black & white ward symbols designed by Lauren K. Cannon. If you hover your mouse over them, you can see them by name. Click to enlarge, and right-click to download.
Step 2: Ward something. Anything. You can use as many or as few of the symbols as you like. You can draw the wards yourself or use the digital files. You can also carve, etch, paint, tattoo, brand, stencil, cut, silkscreen, henna, airbrush, or otherwise render the wards. Any medium. Any object. You can go all the way from making a full portable Messenger circle to just warding your sneakers with a Sharpie during history class. Whatever. Just make sure that when you’re done, demons aren’t going to want to go anywhere near what you warded.
Step 3: Take a digital picture of whatever you warded and send it to peat@www.petervbrett.com no later than July 1, 2010. If you want to physically send your entry, let me know in the e-mail and I’ll tell you how to do that. Please include your full name and the mailing address you would like your prize to go to, should you win. (I promise not to be a dick and share your address with anyone or use it for any other purpose without permission.)
That’s it. Lauren and I will review the entries and pick our five favorites. The lucky Warders will each receive a print of the new Renna painting gracing the home page, signed by both Lauren and myself:
If there are a lot of entries, I will also throw in some other prizes, like signed books and whatnot.
More news to come as the story develops. Good warding!
That is unbelievably awesome!
*runs away to ward the house*
I’m really excited to see what people come up with. Show me what you’ve got!
Hmmm, mind’s already ticking over… This is an awesome Comp, thanks Lauren, thanks Peat!
Good call guys! I’m going to have to think pretty hard on this one, hrmmmm…..
I think I must recuse myself from this one, but maybe I could donate a set of warded wedding bands or somesuch as a prize?
Greg, the only reason you should be recused is that we all know you would blow everyone out of the water.
If you want to make a prize, that would be awesome, but such a thing would certainly warrant its own contest!
Aaaah i cant wait! after these exams im so entering this contest, i already got a bunch of ideas, im thinking about creating leesha’s herb basket with individual bottles n tubes with labels, with fake herbs in them and ward the basket n bottles n whatnot, cant wait!
