It's Contest Time Again!

A few weeks ago, I posted about Mississippi's new Ad Campaign to try to improve the image of the state. I'm not going to rehash all I said in that post. You can go read it if you wanna. However, one of these ads will be the basis of my new contest, and yes it is football themed. The contest is simple.

Tell me what is wrong with this ad:

This ad contains what I would consider to be a pretty significant error. Just tell me what it is and you get your name in the hat for some fabulous prizes. But more about that later.

To enter, just send an e-mail to isshinryubearmom@yahoo.com with your answer. Do not try to leave comments on this post. You can't, because I turned the comment option off. Everyone who e-mails me with the correct answer will get your name into a drawing to receive this prize package:

• One 400 yard skein of superwash merino/nylon blend sock yarn, hand dyed by Mississippi native Laura Linneman in the color Tales of Desperaux
• One jar of Sweet Potato Marmalade made from Vardaman, MS sweet potatoes.
• One gel candle in the scent Cotton Blossom, hand made by a local artisan who didn't have business cards, so I've forgotten her name (Sorry!)
• One plantable book mark by local crafter Vicki at Keep It Sweet & Simple Paperworks. Yes, there are seeds embedded in the paper, so when you are tired of using it as a bookmark, you can dampen the paper and plant it. Instructions are included.
• Anything else I find to include between now and the end of the contest.

What if you really, really want to enter the contest, but don't have a clue as to what the error in the ad is? You, too, can play. Simply drop me an e-mail saying something to the effect of, "I don't have a clue as to what the answer is, but please put my name in the hat as well."

And your name will be put into the hat for this consolation prize:



A 100 gram skein of Shelly Dyes Sock Yarn in the color What Willie Wore. She's not from Mississippi, but it's been sitting in my closet located in Mississippi for like, a year now.

PLUS

A print in the size of your choice (up to 8 X 10) of this fabulous photo of wild Mississippi Black Eyed Susans taken by Mississippi resident (but not native) me.



It's that easy. Oh, I should note that incorrect answers will also be put into the hat for the consolation prize. If you guess, and guess wrong, you still have a chance to win something, so what have you got to lose?

The contest will run until October 4th when I get out of bed. I will then draw names and announce the winner. But wait....what if nobody guesses the correct answer? No problem. I'll just put all the names into the same hat, and the first name I draw will get the first prize, and the second name will get the second prize. That's it.

Let the guessing begin!
