Winterfest 2010 Contests

Hi folks,
It's been a while, so to celebrate the Juathuur winter holiday of Thuusuuvilei as well as the release of the Juathuur: One Way or Another in print, I decided that it's finally time for another Juathuur contest! This will be a three-part contest and you may enter one or all of the contests as many times as you like.

The Deadline for all the contests is Midnight, Dec. 31, 2010.
To follow the progress of the contests or ask questions, visit the contest topic in the Juathuur forum at www.juathuur.com/phpBB3/viewto…

1. FanArt/FanFic Contest

Please send your entries to gammyun@hotmail.com with the subject line "contest entry" or something similar
Include in your email:
- your name or handle/alias you want to be known by

- First Prize for the winner will be a signed copy of one of the vols of the Juathuur: One Way or Another print series. There may be additional second or third prizes depending on the amount of entries.

2. Cosplay Contest

Dress up and take a photo of yourself, a friend, or even a semi-compliant pet as a Juathuur character. Photoshopping is allowed if you prefer a more digital approach. The character can be an actual one from the comic or simply juathuur-inspired (i.e. give yourself some crazy tattoos and go to town).

3. Sticky and Squishy's Community Challenge

Between now and the end of December, the intrepid cephalopod pair invites you to work as a community to solve a series of 14 quizzes, puzzles, and challenges. If all 14 of the challenges are completed you will be collectively rewarded with:

2 WEEKS OF DAILY GATECRASH UPDATES (that means 14 comic pages where you would normally get only 6!!!) It will be like the good ol' days of One Way again! If successful, these special update weeks will most likely happen sometime in January.
There may also be additional bonus prizes for certain challenges.

Each new challenge will be handed out after the previous one has been solved. Some challenges will have multiple parts. The first few challenges will be easy, then get harder as they go on.
