CONTEST RULES
Prizes: One (1) GRAND PRIZE of an autographed copy of the hardcover
JavaScript
Bible Gold Edition. Four (4) RUNNER UP PRIZES of autographed copies
of the softcover JavaScript Bible 4th edition.
Entries: Submit entries via the form at the bottom of this page.
You may enter as many times as you like, and you may include multiple captions
per entry. Your entry must include one or more captions, your name (or
nickname if you wish to remain anonymous), and an e-mail address where
you can be reached at the end of March 2001. Entries must be submitted
by midnight U.S. Pacific Time on Sunday, 25 March 2001. Entries
arriving after that deadline will not be considered. I am not responsible
for entries that do not arrive due to computer or network glitches. All
entries become my property (heh heh), but any publication of your entry
will include your attribution.
Judging: Some (anonymous) friends of mine and I will select one
Grand Prize winner and four Runner Up winners while we enjoy dinner and
a bottle of wine. Decisions of the judges are final.
Winners: Winners will be announced at www.dannyg.com on or before
2 April 2001. Winners' names (but not e-mail addresses) will be posted
along with their captions. Winners will be contacted via e-mail for mailing
addresses to receive their prizes. Delivery dates of prizes are subject
to prize availability (estimated June for Grand Prize; estimated April
for Runner Up prizes).
Eligibility: This contest is open to anyone on Earth (or orbiting
in the International Space Station) who can submit the form below, with
the following exceptions. Members of my family or the judges' families,
and employees of Hungry Minds, Inc. are not eligible. You must abide by
any local, state, and national laws that apply to your entry into contests
or competitions. I pay for the prizes' postage (Priority Mail to U.S. winners;
Air mail to non-U.S. winners), but winners are responsible for taxes, duties,
or customs fees that may be imposed on the prize after it enters the U.S.
postal system.
Caption Guidelines: Caption text must be in English, but foreign
phrases in Latin characters may be used within captions. Content should
be suitable for all ages. I encourage the use of intelligent puns, nerdy-scripty
subjects, and even Dennis Miller-like references, if that's your thing.
Just make sure that the caption is relevant to whatever you see in the
photo and your experience as a reader of my published works.
Privacy: Most contests of this nature are facades for e-mail
address harvesting. I don't enter online contests for that reason. Therefore,
to create a contest that even I would enter, I promise you that your e-mail
address will not be preserved beyond the time necessary to contact the
winners. You will not receive promotional or any other unsolicited e-mail
messages as a result of your entry into the contest. Your e-mail address
is your property, not mine.
