In the past, I've run several contests for pinups featuring SnowBuni, usually with a topical Holiday theme.  I've never done a summer contest, though, so now is a good time to start a new tradition.

Here's the idea:

1)  Goodgirl pinup featuring SnowBuni, and/or any of the other characters in the Sylvalagi family (HoniBuni, SnuggleBuni, KrystalPoni, Geralderson, Random, etc).

2) Independence day theme!  Also known as the "Fourth of July" celebration, it features fireworks, picnics, barbecues, and other family activities.  Although SnowBuni is not an American (she's not even human, technically speaking), she doesn't mind helping her American friends to celebrate with style.

3)  Alternatives... any other holiday featuring fireworks!  Options might include the Chinese New Year, Guy Fawke's day, you get the idea.

4)  Ideally, artwork should be proportional to 450 by 600, although I prefer to recieve a *.jpg or *.gif which is a bit larger, say, 675 by 900.  This allows for a bit of shrink reduction and clarification, before posting.

5) PG or thereabouts, please.

6)  Deadline... July 1st (Thursday), so we can post by July 4th.

Voting is done by contributors and visitors to the site ( I abstain).  Each voter gets a first, second, and third choice; a first place vote is worth 3 points, a second place vote is worth 2 points, and third place is 1 point.  The pinup with the most points wins a $5 gift certificate to the shop of their choice (such as Barnes & Noble, Home Depot, REI, StarBucks, etc.).

Did I miss anything?  Post questions for more information here.

Well, I'm only offering a single $5 prize, so there's not a whole lot to contribute.  Unless we wanted to increase the value of the prize... I suppose.  But typically, prizes that I offer are simply a small gratuity, a just-for-fun kind of thing.

They get a visit from a Sylvalagi wetworks team.  The results are usually excused as "industrial accidents."

Actually, I have quite a collection of nude SnowBuni pinups that I've received from contributors, mostly of Bunnykins in the shower, for some reason.  I guess Freud would say something about cleanliness and vulnerability.

I won't post these on my site, though; judging from the email I receive, most of my site visitors are adolescents.  So, my target demographic is the under-18 crowd.

So... SnowBuni can be sexy and slinky... she just can't be sexy and slinky and naked.

"Wetworks" is a Soviet term for a class of operatives who do international dirty work... the get their hands "wet" with the blood of their targets.

I'm imagining that the Sylvalagi (SnowBuni's people) have a similar class of agents, and Snowbuni is trained in their methodology.

"Team SnowBuni" is the name of the group of people who purchased SnowBuni T-shirts, back when they were available. 

Hello,

I would keep the atari if I were you, I still wish I had mine, those were fun games.  I remember "demon attack."  I also liked the haunted mansion those were fun or how about riddle of the sphinx.  Man I like those games.

If you want I can send you something to a to the prize like a DVD or something, and no I will not send "Pron."  No I keep those for myself, Ha ha ha ha...  And yes I spelled it wrong on purpose to keep the fans guessing.

I may be a perv but I do have some tact and know when it is okay to go that way.

Much more later...
JCH---

Well, Jeff, the coffee would be booty enough for me...but I enter art contests for fun. So, regardless of prize potential, I am planning an entry!

...I'm not getting much feedback, on prizes.  Maybe I should award one of those lady-leg lamps, with the high heel and fishnet stocking, as seen on "Christmas Story."

Hey All,

Sorry Guuys i have been under the weather this last two weeks and the few times I have been able to write I did not do it with a full deck so sorry for not responding right away.

On the bright side I like the image.  Very Nice!  Is that your entry?  Are there going to be other entries?

I would like to see them all if their are more...

...actually, I do have a color version of it.  Cartoonist Charles Roe reworked my quickie pencil sketch, and gave it a color bath.
