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.

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?
