    Major Spoilers DK2 Contest Announced! Enter and Win!

    Stephen SchleicherBy Stephen SchleicherAugust 23, 2008Updated:August 23, 200843 Comments3 Mins Read

    dk2contestPicon.jpg

    Okay everyone, here it is; the latest Major Spoilers Contest!

    The prize?  This lovely limited edition Dark Knight 2 Statue from 2001.  It’s a great representation of two of the characters from the Frank Miller series, and can be yours if you are willing to work for it.

    dk2contest1.jpg

    So what do you have to do?

    Take the jump and find out!

    Okay, this contest is all about helping to promote Major Spoilers.

    First, download and print out the following image:

    heroes1AD8x11.jpg

    It fits nicely on regular paper (8.5″ x 11″), however it looks really great on glossy photo paper (extra points).

    Next, take the mini-poster and get your picture taken, holding the sign, with one of the following:

    • The manager of your local comic book shop (the comic book shop must be in the background). Bonus points if the manager hangs the mini-poster in a prime location in the shop.
    • Someone famous.  We’re talking celebrities, comic creators and artists, Playboy Playmate, and so on. It has to be someone well known.  Sorry, but the thespian who only does local theater in your small town doesn’t count.
    • A really hot girl in a bikini – or for the female readers out there – a really hot guy in his swim trunks.  Yes, it may sound sexist, but it’s summer time and we’re trying to make this contest as interesting as possible.

    NOTE: You MUST ask permission to have your photo taken with one of the above people, and the Major Spoilers mini-poster must be viewable in the shot (do not cover anyone’s face).

    Finally, send the image (800×600 pixels minimum – larger preferred) to podcast@majorspoilers.com.  Include your full name, mailing address, etc in the email.  If you take your picture with the manager of your local comic book shop, please include the name and address of the comic shop as well as the manager’s name. The promotion works both ways, the shop promotes us, we’ll promote the comic shop.

    The images will appear on the Major Spoilers site, hence the need to obtain permission first.

    NO PHOTOSHOPPING ALLOWED! Please be honest in this contest. We are trying to promote the site in this contest and someone who Photoshops the image onto a photo does nothing to spread the word.

    UPDATE:  You CAN enter more than once – providing you are posing with someone different in each picture.  I know of one person who is entering 5 times based on his visit to San Diego Comic Con

    UPDATE #2:  Want to see examples of the entries?  Check Julian’s entries here.

    All entries must be received by August 31, 2008 (plenty of time to get pics at a certain major comic convention coming up soon – nudge nudge wink wink).  The winner will be selected randomly from all entries on September 2, 2008 during the Major Spoilers Podcast.

    This contest is open to residents of North America only (sorry rest of the world, but shipping outside the U.S., Canada, and Mexico is really expensive for a prize of this size).

    If you have any questions, just ask!  Have fun with this contest, and hopefully you will win!

    Bonus Points comic book shop Comic Creators Comic Shop Dark Knight 2 Extra Points Female Readers Frank Miller Glossy Photo Paper Hot Girl Hot Guy Limited Edition local theater mailing address Mini Poster Name And Address Photoshopping Playboy Playmate Prime Location Summer Time Swim Trunks

      Stephen, how about some form of international contest? It could be less regular than your Nth American affairs and perhaps be a prize of lesser value, but it still would influence more foreign awareness of this fabulous site. I know the Nth American restriction is the shameful reason why I am not entering this competition.

      Does the famous person have to be living? And what exactly constitutes famous? Could they be locally famous, or a person or internationally renowned?

      Reply
    13. Stephen Schleicher on July 16, 2008 10:14 am

      Jon: They have to be living (no wax statues) and they need to be worldly renowned – no local theater major that hasn’t done anything outside your small town. AND NO PICTURES WITH YOU AND YOUR JACK BURTON ACTION FIGURE! That will result in instant disqualification :D However, if you get a picture with you and Kurt Russell – the real kurt russell – and you are both holding the Major Spoilers Mini-Poster, you’ll go to the front of the line. Bonus points if you get him to autograph the poster and donate it to the site for a give-away :D

      My guess is most people will get a picture with their LCS manager as that is the easiest way to enter. But I’m hoping someone will get a picture with somebody famous…

      Reply
    15. hermit on July 16, 2008 3:54 pm

      well, i’m in canada, and in your podcast you said the contest was open to all of north america, so i am in. but, if i ever win, i’ll gladly help with the shipping cost. still gonna be cheaper than buying the thing.

      and yes it’s gonna be my comic book shop manager.

      how do you select the winner? the one with the biggest celebrity or is it random?

      What if the entrant is, himself, famous?

      I mean, I know that Scott Porter (Friday Night Lights, Speed Racer) is a big comic book geek … if he takes a picture of himself with the poster, say with Adrienne Palicki (also from Friday Night Lights, preferably in a bikini) does he automatically win … ?

      Reply
    19. Stephen Schleicher on July 17, 2008 3:09 pm

      He doesn’t automatically win, it is a random drawing… but he does get bonus points for being a Super Spoilerite (yes, those Spoilerite points will add up).

      Reply
    20. Stephen Schleicher on July 17, 2008 3:09 pm

      Oh, and if Scott Porter is reading this, please contact me …

      That’s the thing Dezi, we haven’t received any yet! This is a huge contest with a great prize, and it is so easy to enter and win, I don’t know why there aren’t more people jumping on board.

      ah man, i just realized that you’re gonna show my ugly mug to everyone. well, i guess that’s the price to pay to get this statue that i almost bought when it first came out.

      so, as i said, you’ll have my entry in 2 weeks tops.

      i think you only have 1 entry even if you submit 5 pictures, but it’s really cool to have those pics and we all want to see them.
