Mystery Item Contest Pass This pass is an idea that I had recently, a little different than a standard one. I hope it'll be something fun for those who decide to join in. Let me know what you think of the idea in the forum thread -- if it turns out to be brutally unpopular, we can always change it around, or just make it a regular pass. On the other hand, if it's a successful idea then this may be the first of several.
Here's how it works:
- I will send the box out to the first person with a selection of cigars and an extra "item".
- The recipient will do their takes and puts just like a standard pass, and they will take a photo with "the item".
- The participant will email the photo to me, but will not post it to the website, nor will they mention to anyone else what "the item" is.
- The participant will then pack up the box and ship it to the next person.
After all of the participants have done this, I'll have a collection of photos, one from each pass participant (except me). I'll create a new thread in the forum, post the photos, and everyone on the site can then vote for the best/funniest of the bunch.
The winner will get an extra prize sent their way, probably a fiver or something along those lines.
==== Notes ==== Pass:
- This pass will be open to anyone of Regular status or higher.
- Standard pass etiquette applies (see here)
- The starting lineup will be a wide range of cigars, from the lower end of the price spectrum to the higher end. Hopefully this will allow everyone to feel like they can participate.
- As with any pass, replace with something of equal or greater value. Do not replace a $20 cigar with two $10 cigars, etc. If you take a limited release or rare item, replace it with another one. ISOM for ISOM, etc.
- Use box pricing if available to determine value. (Cigars.com, Cigars International, or Famous Smoke Shop)
- Don't forget to pack "the item" back in the box before you ship it out to the next person!
- Please don't hold onto the package too long while you decide on how to do your photo.
Photos/Contest:
- You don't have to be in the photo if you don't want to be, but "the item" must make an appearance.
- Email your submission for the contest to me at jeffk42@gmail.com
- You do not need to resize the photo before sending it to me, I will do that once I have them so they're all about the same size for voting.
- Once the pass is complete, I will create a voting thread, and everyone on CG will be able to vote for their favorite photo.
- The funniest/best photo will win the prize, so be imaginative!
- Please take care not to damage, destroy, or deface "the item" or set it on fire.
- Remember not to mention what "the item" is or show any photos of it until after the pass is complete. That way no one gets a sneak peek that will give them an unfair advantage. Plus, it adds to the mystery. You can certainly mention it in the forum thread, just don't give out any clues that might help someone to guess what it is!
That's it, let's have some fun with this one!
