First, a little reminder — if you enjoy reading this blog, please help! No, I’m not asking for money — just two painless seconds of your time to vote for this site, http://www.sirinthada.com over at http://shortyawards.com/special_awards/microblog! This site is a labor of love, and, well, a little love back will help it continue to grow! Oh, AND, there’s still time left to enter my latest giveaway — I’m extending the deadline to Thursday. A HUGE thank you to those who have been kind enough to vote already — you rock!
Now on to the fun stuff! I am SO EXCITED to launch a new Sunday series, the survival of which depends entirely upon YOU. That is to say, if you like it, I’ll keep doing it, and if not, then I won’t.
I’ve always a been a huge fan of the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest; so I’ve decided to do my very own version, right here! Anyone can participate, and here’s how it’ll work. Every Sunday, I will do a small drawing and post it here. You will have until Friday, 11:59 pm EST to email me your caption. The text can be anything — clever, funny, serious, witty, mysterious, heartfelt… The only real requirement is that it should interplay with the drawing somehow. I’ll read through them all, and pick the one that I like best. Then I’ll post the chosen caption as well as a new doodle the following Sunday. Lather, rinse, repeat.
And what happens if you’re the lucky winner? You’ll get mad props of course… AND I will mail you the original drawing, with your text added in — it will be a free souvenir for you to keep!
So, to recap: email me your brilliant words at sirin@sirinthada.com, with the subject line “CAPTION” by Friday, 11:59 pm EST. Feel free to include 2-3 sentences about yourself, any links to your own site, etc. which I will be happy to post if you are the winner!
Can’t wait to see what y’all come up with, here’s the very first drawing for you to brainstorm — let the games begin!
