Yes, It's The Amazingly Bombastic Creativity Image Scavenger Hunt

January's Wieners

2008-02-01T18:29:00.000-05:00

The Wieners of January's Amazingly Bombastic Creative Scavenger Hunt were

ACTONBELL,
TLP,
TOM & ICY
and
TSDUFF.

The competition was fast and furious and bombastically creative. I, of course, never finished my list.

The Rules

2008-02-01T18:25:00.000-05:00

What: A contest where you gather together images for each item on the alphabetical list that fits the words’ meanings. They may be images you find on the internet or any photographs, drawings, or visual images you create yourself.

Who: Anyone who wants to play.

Where: Post your selections on your website.

When: You have until the end of the month, by midnight Eastern Standard Time, because that’s how I live and I can’t make any time zone adjustments.

How: I don’t know. I randomly picked out the word pairs and I have no idea if it’s possible to match them. Feel free to make things up. That’s why the word Creativity is in the title.

Why: Because it sounds like fun to me. I’ll be doing it, too, although I won’t be able to win the prize. Yes, there will be a prize, which will be surprise. Actually, there is no prize, except the satisfaction of a job well done. I know that sucks, but such is life.

To be a wiener: Post your images and announce your entry to me. You may let me know you have finished by commenting on any of my millions of sites or sending me an email to goldennib at comcast dot net. I will judge whether you have captured the meanings, any of the meanings, no matter how obscure, of the word pairs. If I can’t figure any out, I will ask you to explain. If you can, we’re cool. If you can’t, oh, well. The first person to notify me and get the most images on the list “correct” will win. No entries will be accepted for prizes after the deadline, but we can still enjoy your efforts if you’ve done some of the words, so post anyway. My decisions are final unless I change my mind; I can if I want.

2007-10-01T06:18:00.000-04:00

The highly anticipated announcement of the wieners of The Amazingly Bombastic Creativity Image Scavenger Hunt is now here. Breath, come on, breath.

The hands down winner of The 1st Place “Eat My Dust” Wiener Award for September 2007 is Tan Lucy Pez. She finished her entry so fast and with such witty commentary, I was worried no one else would play. TLP gets first choice of one of the lovely prizes shown below and she may display this awesome banner on her blog (I hope we can figure how to do that.)

The 2nd Place “I can’t believe I finished the whole thing” Wiener Award goes to Bazza. He finished the whole list just in time. His entries included many original images and funny explanations. He even made a video for one of his entries. Bazza will get second choice of one of the lovely prizes shown below and he may display this wonderful banner on his blog.

Honorable mention and the 3rd Place “I tried but couldn’t get it all” Wiener Award goes to Cindra for playing along and for her enthusiasm. She gets to place this great banner on her site and pick one of the lovely prizes shown below after TLP and Bazza have picked through them. Cindra also is reintroducing her Word Game now called The Great Quill Driving Competition. Check it out. It is always highly competitive and fun.

Here we have our lovely prizes: A soft, blue scarf with pom poms on the end that I crocheted, a multi-colored fuzzy long scarf I crocheted, a bright green flower picture frame, a golden picture frame, a ceramic nature picture frame, or an assortment of shiny blue purse items including a notebook, pen and two mirrors. TLP, you have first choice so email me to let me know which you want and your address so I can send it to you.

Say, huh?

What: A contest where you gather together images for each item on the alphabetical list that fits the words’ meanings. They may be images you find on the internet or any photographs, drawings, or visual images you create yourself.

Who: Anyone who wants to play. Please play with me.

Where: Post your selections on your website.

When: You have until the end of the month. Which this month is September 30, 2007, a Sunday, by midnight Eastern Standard Time, because that’s how I live and I can’t make any time zone adjustments.

How: I don’t know. I randomly picked out the word pairs and I have no idea if it’s possible to match them. Feel free to make things up. That’s why the word Creativity is in the title.

Why: Because it sounds like fun to me. I’ll be doing it, too, although I won’t be able to win the prize. Yes, there will be a prize, which will be surprise. I’ll give hints to its identity as the month progresses. And I’ll try to make up one of those announcement things you can put on your side bar that says you are a wiener.

To be a wiener: Be the first to post your images (in list order) and announce your entry to me. You may let me know you have finished by commenting on any of my millions of sites or sending me an email to goldennib at comcast dot net. I will judge whether you have captured the meanings, any of the meanings, no matter how obscure, of the word pairs. If I can’t figure any out, I will ask you to explain. If you can, we’re cool. If you can’t, oh, well. The first person to notify me and get the most images on the list “correct” will win. No entries will be accepted for prizes after the deadline, but we can still enjoy your efforts if you’ve done some of the words, so post anyway. My decisions are final unless I change my mind; I can if I want.

P.S. There will be special recognition for original images.
