Aaarrggg Matey!
Zazzle is running a Talk like a Pirate Day design contest with a $1,000 prize. Here’s the description from their website:
Avast ye! As you may know, this contest takes place in celebration of Talk Like a Pirate Day on September 19th, 2007. Yarrr! We encourage any pirate-related entries - pirate-speak is not a requirement. So man the ships, set sail and start designing! Thar’s a storm a brewin! Only a proud few will brave the weather to find the buried chest of 1,000 coins and 10 other treasures! Let the most fearsome pirate win!
The submission deadline is 11:59 pm (PST) on Sunday, September 16, 2007. Sept. 19th is Talk like a Pirate Day. IMPORTANT: You may only enter one design (on one product) to the contest. Product types can be a t-shirt, mug, poster, stamp or more.
Look for a pirate related reading list to be posted later this week.
