Christmas Coloring Contest!

Posted by creepyqueen at 05:54 PM on December 09, 2009

Hey! I figured I'd put this up early, because I know quite a few (if not all) Christmas Parades are going on this weekend, and what better of an activity to participate in while watching [or after getting home from] the Christmas Parade!

This contest is super easy, super fun, and we're giving away some awesome prizes!

You guessed it, ad spots in the upcoming winter print issue of CreepyQueenMagazine!

Don't worry if you aren't a fantastic artist. There will be a prize for the 'best' submission, but the grand prize will be a random drawing!

HOW TO ENTER:

1. Download the cute gingerbread character below. Download the .JPG here. (Use the JPG if you are using the drawing program provided below) OR Download the .PNG here.

To download the image, clik the link, right click the image, and select 'Save Image As'.

2. Color Him! You can do this by printing him out, coloring him, and scanning him back onto your computer, or you can color him in one of your digital paint programs, like the default, ms paint. Don't even have ms paint? Here is a great free one you can use ONLINE, with no downloads! (Just be sure you upload the blank gingerbread man before you start working!)

3. Upload your image to a free uploading site, or Upload it here.

4. Paste the link to your image as a comment to this blog post! You need to be logged in to do this.
