This is where I hope a lot of holiday fun will be had. We're still in the prototype phase, but the idea is to mail out Styrofoam cut outs of emperor penguins that people can take pictures of and earn points and generally have some fun during the most hectic time of the year.
I was inspired by the book Osbert the Penguin and Flat Stanley. There will be prizes for the overall points earner, a prize for whoever gets the most categories covered, and one wild card best in show prize. The idea is that you can decide your own level of involvement and still be in the running for a prize. I'll be playing, too, but not to win the prize - which will include unique gift baskets full of gift cards, art (probably), tshirt, and other swag.
There will be a posting of the categories and point system here on December 1st when the contest starts. It will run the whole month of December and the winner declared on the January 1st. If you've been preselected you will hopefully receive your penguin by then (preselection is still underway, but my funds and time are somewhat limited). I may open up the contest to others if they are willing to ante up a little for the cost of supplies and mailing fees.
Stay tuned for in progress penguin making photos and updates!
