Win the World’s Only Two $15 Bills

THE PRIZES
First Prize: The $15 Bill, as shown on top, and signed by Tara, a random girl who works at a T-Mobile store. She’s really fun, because she was all like, “Sure!” when I asked her to put a heart next to her name.

Second Prize: The Subpar and Far Inferior Backward $15 Bill, as seen on bottom, and also signed by Tara. She was hesitant to put the heart on this one – a complex woman, to be sure.

THE CONTEST
This is a good old-fashioned coloring contest, which is perfect for helping out all of you who are bored at work.

The picture is seen below – this is the amazing actress, Brandi Engel, as drawn by the amazing artist, Paul Taylor. The explosion has no name. The rules follow the pic.

THE JUDGING
The contest will be a point-based system – the judges are:

1) @Brandi88 (TEMPEST:Brandi Engel)
2) @Need4Sheed_com (TEMPEST: Natalie Sitto).
3) @brianspaeth (TEMPEST: Brian Spaeth; NAY, this is me.)
4) @pablowapsi (TEMPEST: Paul Taylor)

It’s a 1-25 scale from each of the judges – so like “100″ would be a perfect coloring job. Don’t fret – the “most-skilled” coloring job may not necessarily be the “best” one. Hence the four judges, each with a personal TEMPEST.

SUBMISSIONS
First of all, click here to go get the full-rez version. You can either print it out and color with crayons/markers, or do it with a computer based app like Photoshop or MS Paint, or anything you want.

When you’re done, simply “@WhoShotMamba” your submission with the words “I colored @Brandi88″, and a link to your completed work. (If you aren’t on Twitter or just want to be private about your coloring action, you can also email it to me at yaysports@gmail.com, my secret email address I don’t tell anyone about.)

(NOTE: @WhoShotMamba is the account for my film, Who Shot Mamba?, and is run by @alexiskn (TEMPEST: Alexis Norton). Following @alexiskn AND @WhoShotMamba on Twitter is worth 10 bonus points.)

As you submit, there will be all kinds of excitement and such and we can all show off what a good coloring person you are. Make sure to “sign” the piece with your Twitter handle.

The deadline is next Friday, which is July 31. It starts…now.

By the way, I just remembered one time in high school where I pronounced “photography” as “FOE-TOE-GRAFFY” out loud to someone. Have you ever done something similar? Is the moment burned into your brain like that one is into mine? Also, what do you think about this contest?
