SEND US SOMETHING BLUE!
A HOY SO 'SEND-US-SOMETHING' CONTEST

If you want to win this contest, you need to send us something blue.

Find something blue, something interesting and worth mailing in, then put it in a box. Address that box to us, include a submission entry form answering challenging questions like what is your name? and do you want a gold star commendation? and then mail that box right off to us to be submitted into this very contest!

We will take all of the blue things mailed in to us, highlight them on this very contest page with photographs, descriptions and whatever media we deem necessary to describe and display them to all those who want to know what was sent in and then everyone will have the chance to vote on their favorite blue submission.

~ RULES ~

1- You Must Send Us Something Blue!
and by blue we mean the color, not the emotional state

2- You may mail us anything blue, anything at all!
just do not break the law, we do not encourage nor suggest it

3- Fill Out & Include The Submission Form Available Via This Link Here!
you do not need to print out that page to submit your answers, you may write
the necessary information on a scrap of paper so long as you submit it

- One Submission Per Person & Per Mailing Address -
we are not going to go into great detail explaining this: no submissions will be accepted if multiple submissions are received from any one person or address

- This Contest Is Open To The First 100 Submissions Only -
our last contest only received three submissions, you shouldn't need to worry

~ SAMPLE SUBMISSIONS ~

The following images are examples of things that are blue that you could send in just in case you doubt the simplicity of this contest. Primarily Blue things count.

 

 

 

It really is simple. If you mail in something red, it does not count. If you mail in something purple, or green, it does not count. Light blue IS blue, dark blue IS blue, anything blue counts! Send Us Something Blue!

~ FINE PRINT ~
If we do not wish to vote in a contest and honor anyone with an honorary prize, then we will not vote for anyone nor give out any honorary prize. If we do not check our contest submissions before the contest deadline to find out that yours does not meet requirements for any reason and you are not able to re-submit, then we will have not checked our mail in time to let you know that you failed at following directions and you will not be able to enter the contest. If you feel we unfairly rejected your submission, then chances are you are going to feel slightly disgruntled, but feel free to refute or complain. Just know that we do not have to listen to you. If you did not like anything you read in this fine print than maybe you should not have read it. This is our website and we reserve the right to run it however the hell we please.
