Kibo : Kibo: Conetest '99

NOTE: The contest has closed. It will take me a few days to examine all the entries that have poured in over the last few months and prepare a gallery of winners. Thanks to everyone for the great submissions, and I will be announcing the results soon!




Conetest!

Shoot an orange cone and win!


THE 1999
ALT.RELIGION.KIBOLOGY
ORANGE CONE PHOTO CONTEST

Whoever sends in the most interesting photo of one or more orange cones or similar items (in a "found" scene, not a posed scene) wins! I chose this contest because I figure everyone has access to a camera of some sort and certainly everyone has access to orange cones.

Basically, carry around your cheap little camera, snap a photo of an orange thing just sitting there, and send it to Kibo, for the amusement of all.

It doesn't have to be a photo of an orange cone, or group of orange cones -- their close relatives are just as good. These include the yellow "caution: wet floor" tentlets, orange barrels, construction barricades, etc. (But it should be known that orange cones tend to be the ones that appear in the strangest places.)

Rule #1 of 1: No tampering! The photo must show the orange cones (or whatever) "in situ" -- that is, as you found them. You can't rearrange them. Trust me, this is what makes the hunt for photos worthwhile. (Hey, if I liked posed photos, I could just stay home and use Photoshop to paste orange cones into a picture of Neil Armstrong stepping onto the Moon...)

Submissions: Please E-mail photos to orangecones@kibo.com (any reasonable size/format is okay, the bigger the better).

Judging: By Kibo. The photo he enjoys the most wins. Final judging has been delayed until Y2K Day because Kibo's busy at the moment.

Prize: Some non-worthwhile stuff, like some candy and a few minutes of minor fame on the Internet. There will be at least one prize. There may even be runners-up or a booby prize if the situation merits it.

Deadline: Whenever Kibo declares the winner sometime just after Y2K Day.

Legal annoyance: Kibo might make a Web gallery out of photos people send in. Indicate how you want to be credited, or if you don't want your photo shown to anyone, ever. Don't send in any photos you're not the copyright-owner of (i.e. don't send any torn out of "Newsweek", 'cause they're litigious. Plus it would be more fun for you to get off your butt, go around the block, and find a cone.)

...once again, the E-mail address for submitting your entries is
orangecones@kibo.com
before December 31, 1999. (Results will be posted here.)
