Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 02/18/2011 4:12 pm Last year was fun and we had good participation. I'd like to do the same contest this year. If you want to review it, the old thread can be found here http://goccf.com/t/64036 I'm launching this earlier than last year because that was the feedback I received. The contest is simple but has a good chance for participation. -Get a postcard that you think is nice for whatever reason -Put a real stamp or stamps on it (no prepaid post office postcards) -Put only your forum name on the postcard as an ID -hand draw a doodle of anything at all that is suitable for all ages viewing Put NO personally identifying information on your postcards. I can't stress this enough. Protection of personal data is really important in this day and age. So no return address or names please or I'll have to disqualify the entry. I'm assuming the postmarks are not a problem. To enter -PM me for a mailing address - this is not the same as last years. I typically check twice a day. -I'll confirm receipt of your postcard via this thread. -Have the normal 50 quality posts -Mrs. Ugly (you bet she likes that name a whole ton) will draw out the hat on May 30th 2011. This should allow time for remote world stragglers to make it into the mailbox. -If a minor(as defined by your locale)should win any prize then you are required to have a parent contact me for delivery via voice. No leeway on this. -one entry per person but any number of forum members from the same household may enter Prizes are my natural desire to spread the joy of collecting Canuck Bucks. (2)Winners First prize -all the postmarked cards from forum members with what I hope are nice canceled stamps. I think these are a great collectible and nice keepsake. -A 1999 dated .9999 fine silver five dollar Maple Leaf 1oz. Second place prize decided by votes for best postcard by forum members. EPQ CHUNC 1967 Dollar bill and a 1967 Silver PL 50 cent piece featuring the Timberwolf I will scan and post an album of each postcard as it arrives with a link and updates offered for each received postcard. If you have any questions, please ask. Good Luck! Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 4:33 pm PM sent for mailing address, thank you! I am doodling on my post card now. LATE EDIT: I had time left enough to edit this post. I looked up postage for a small postcard to Canada and it is .75 cents for USA members information. Well, it's Presidents day here so no post offices are open but I did go to a post office mailbox and stuck my post card in it and it is on the way. Quote: OH-man I gotta enter this time. That 50 cent piece has my name written all over it. WOLF I dunno, sure looks a lot like a wheezydog howling to me. Edited by TNG 02/21/2011 2:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff

NickleHalfDime Valued Member Canada 94 Posts	Posted 03/02/2011 4:08 pm Hello, Ugly (hard to say that with a straight face) I often make my own postcards to send to friends from abroad because I enjoy photography as a hobby. Would a hand-made postcard qualify in this contest? I would love to contribute to the contest in this way. Also, I've reached 50 posts yet I am still unsure of how the PM function works. When I look at your profile I see the option to e-mail you but not PM you. Am I mistakenly not realizing that on this forum PM/E-mails are terms used interchangeably or am I missing something really obvious? Thanks for your help. I look forward to participating. :-) Report this Post to the Staff

Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 03/02/2011 8:07 pm Hello NHD.. yeah we use them interchangeably... send me an email and I'll shoot you an address. Home made post cards are welcome - more than (can't wait to see it now )! Please do (still) put a doodle on the back. Cheers! Got my first card with some great stamps yesterday from WheezyDog - I'll get a scan up before the week is out... I think we should send Wheezy a bright shiny silver quarter for being first, don't you folks agree? Report this Post to the Staff
wolf-n-wa Pillar of the Community United States 602 Posts	Posted 03/02/2011 8:14 pm I agree. Send him a nice one. WOLF Report this Post to the Staff

mysilveryears Pillar of the Community United States 1887 Posts	Posted 03/04/2011 09:46 am I also enjoy creating my own postcards. And I create my own stamps too! Anyone in USA can do this via zazzle.com but the service is probably not available outside the US. ALMOST up to 50 posts ! Report this Post to the Staff
NickleHalfDime Valued Member Canada 94 Posts	Posted 03/04/2011 12:38 pm Thank you for clearing that up, my friends. I've sent Ugly a PM/email and now I am all set to send my postcard. I even found some old stamps to use on the card. (I'm really excited about this now!) Report this Post to the Staff
Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 03/05/2011 11:37 am First chance I've had this week to clear off the scanner ! Great card from Wheezydog and some really cool US stamps. The portrait is a nice pencil drawing. Your quarter is on the way Wheezy! Thanks for your entry. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/05/2011 12:18 pm Wow I won a Canadian quarter! Thank you very much, I hear it is a silver shiny one too. I like shiny things! With the price of silver these days, that is like a million dollars in US money! Fantastic contest! Report this Post to the Staff
