This contest is simple.
Get creative and take a picture of yourself or someone else displaying the sites address..thats www.TheCustomSaberShop.com if you arent sure[:D] Keep it tastefull but use your imagination. The picture must clearly show that you are in a public setting and the web address must be clearly displayed.

The winner will be chosen on May 6th. The contest winner will recieve a Luxeon converted Darth Maul dual set color of their choice.

No photoshopping.
Just a simple snapshot of you doing some creative and fun advertising. We arent going to use it as an ad or display on the store page or anything, just want you guys to get creative and do something fun and imaginative to show off the site, and introduce people to the site and what we love to do .

You can make a sign, and hit the mall? Paint it on your face and hit the bus station? LOL.. Whatever you can come up with..Just keep it PG rated, and use your imagination. The most creative fun way is what we're looking for.

We rely purely on word of mouth. We all love what we do, and tell our friends, thats why this site exists. We just want to see how creative you can be [8D]

I think you'll all have a lot of fun with this one [:)] I certainly hope so anyway [;)] thats the whole point!

lol. This won't be like the contest for the graphic on the front page. This doesnt need to be video, snapshots are sufficiant. Video would be great, but the imagination and originality involved is whats going to count for this one, not the cinematography.

I have a few... "Tuition hikes are preventing me from spporting my nerdy habit." (In the middle of the largest student union and plaza in the nation mind you.[:)]) "Whack a nerd: $10" and "Will duel for food."[:)]

I don't want those ideas taken now.[:(!] Granted I'll have a kicking location... it still wouldn't be cool.

Yup, I think I'll be switching locations around campus too. "Will duel for food." I might do in the food court of the union. Home to the busiest Wendy's and Subway in the nation.[:)]

The tuition one probably in the outdoor plaza, where everyone else protests. I'll stand next to the Free Palestine Organization.[:D]

Due to financial restraints I won't be able to enter the idea that I have... but I would take a box of the MHS parts and a blade in a box to the post office.

Have one of the workers there agree to doing the photoshoot... give them the taped box with "http://www.thecustomsabershop.com" on it and get an over the shoulder shot of that, maybe with other customers in view.

Then for a second shot, have the worker rummaging through the opened box (address visible on the opened flap) the worker in obvious delight.

Third shot... piecing the MHS together (prefit of course)

Final shot... Same worker, over-sized black cloak, saber ignited (GiMP or PhotoShop the blade only).

Submit the four shots as one... kinda like a webstrip.

"Yes. The pointy end goes into the other man."

Jonitus
04-19-2006, 01:35 PM
Do the shots HAVE TO be in a public setting? I have an idea that would be PG, yet not appropriate for a public setting, but would be a really creative way to display the sites address...I amy submit it anyways, even if it is not one of my official entries.

...how will you know the light unless you have seen the dark? How will you know the good unless you have flirted with the evil?

The prize you are offering for this contest is way cool... but let me ask.. can the winner exchange it for something else?

I am asking because, well, I'm not interested in the double bladed stuff.. but would be interested in a MHS Kit that would help me get started learning how to build my own.

"Yes. The pointy end goes into the other man."

Well, the plan today was to get dressed all Jedi like, head over to the Con that is here in town, throw a little advertising to the TCSS with a banner made up and get a few shots with some of the local 501st guys. As we with kids know full well plans change in a heart beat. My youngest managed to pull out her clothes drawer which is part of the base of her bed, craw back under the bed and when she came crawling back out she managed to slice a 3 inch gap down her wrist and arm. As you can imagine, we ended up making a trip to the local hospital for a little Emergency Room visit. Not so long story made shorter, She's fine, all fixed up by the Doctor and Mommy and Daddy are ready to drink dinner[;)] I am not sure whether I'll get over there or not tommorow(or even if they are there tommorow) but I will still work on getting some cool advertising somewhere.

Monkey,
It is a store front on a busy street just no foot traffic. I turned about 100 heads setting this shot up and was asked if this was a prank or if I was going to open this store ... I told them to check out the website. Let me dream and New England people are nice they try to stay out of shots like this.

Well...here are my entries, I made a magnet to put on my car and have been drivin around with it since a few days after the contest started and I plan on keepin it on there for as long as it takes to win the contest.....*grin*. The pics were taken on one of the Navy's largest air bases, and yes I did get permission to take the pics before I did it.

Very nice Ambo, but can you edit it by pressing "Enter" between each pic? So they are under each other instead of one after another.
Edit: Thank you kindly.

You guys need to gang up on that campus psycho with some super soakers or something. Actually, some "You Can't Do That on Television" green slime would be better. Or, maybe a stun gun (he'll recover).

LOL! That's hilarious! I love it!

But if I beat on him that would just prove that he makes a good paintball target/stress outlet. It wouldn't prove anything, really, about any of the stuff he's yellin' about. Sometimes it's just fun to nail somebody with a waterballoon. And if you just happen to be doing everyone else a favor at the same time then you're killin' two birds with one stone.[:D]

Yeah, having the bucket is like having a howitzer during those fights. Especially if you can get your hands on some ice water. My brothers and I used to pull pranks like dumping buckets of ice water on someone while they're in the shower. You get some interesting reactions from that.

Hey, man, give it a try! Don't give in to stinkin' thinkin.' Everyone has something cool to offer here! If you don't win then, oh well! In this case, winning is going to be pretty subjective anyway. I've just got to run down a camera and get up the gumption to make a fool of myself. If I can get the time, I plan on going to our local national guard armory and dressing as a jedi with my saber at the ready, and pose as if I'm getting ready to leap into battle with an army tank. I'll put the web address on my back or something. It won't look as pretty as some of the other guys, but it'll be fun.
