** Democratic Underground December 2009 Bumper Sticker Slogan Contest! **

[EarlG]

Sorry I'm a week late with the contest but better late than never. It's...

The DU Bumper Sticker Slogan Contest (December 2009 Edition)

The DU Bumper Sticker Slogan Contest runs on the first Tuesday of every month (er, usually).

HOW IT WORKS

• If you've got a great idea for a slogan that you think would work well on a bumper sticker, post it in reply to this thread.


• The Admins will go through all of the entries and pick our ten favorites.


• On Wednesday we'll post a poll of the top picks where you can vote for your favorite slogan.


• On Thursday we'll announce the three winners, create bumper stickers from the winning slogans, and add them to the DU Store.

THE PRIZES

• If your slogan is voted one of the top three and added to the DU Store, you'll win a free bumper sticker with your slogan on it.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

• Slogans about politics are good (this is a political website after all!)


• Slogans about current events are good


• Funny is good


• Keep it short and sweet - remember, your slogan has to fit on a bumper sticker!


• Slogans do not have to be specifically related to Democratic Underground

Please note that this month we already have one winner that was held over from the last contest, which is lame54's entry "Owning A Gun Is A Right - Having A Bullet Removed Is A Privilege."

http://www.cafepress.com/du_store">
So for this month's contest only the top two vote-getters will win a bumper sticker.


Previous winners are on sale in the Democratic Underground Bumper Sticker Store for $4.99 each. To visit the store, http://www.cafepress.com/du_store">click here!
