Caption Contest Anyone?
« on: June 23, 2010, 07:39:32 PM »
Just curious if anyone on the forum ever submits captions for New Yorker Magazine's weekly caption contest?  I've been trying for years to no avail.

The contest is this:  Each week they have a cartoon artist draw a cartoon with no caption.  The general public submits captions for the cartoon, and the magazine chooses three finalists.  The general public then gets to vote for one of the three finalists until a winner is determined.

It's a lot of fun, and I think there's a lot of creative people on this forum that may enjoy participating in something like this.  Here's the link:

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!
