"I Am Lindsey Buckingham!" -- Contest

As part of the countdown to the September 16, 2008 release of Lindsey Buckingham's new album, Gift of Screws, http://www.HeroesAreHardToFind.blogspot.com is conducting its first contest!

This contest is called "I Am Lindsey Buckingham!"

It gets its inspiration from the striking cover art for Gift of Screws. I think it deserves to be honored. Here's the cover art for the album:



Here's how the contest works!

TELL THE WORLD "I AM LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM!"

Create your own homage to the Gift of Screws cover art. Be creative. It can express whatever you want as long as you mimic the original composition. You can try to be as close to the original as possible or go off in unexpected directions!

Here's an example that http://www.econgaston.blogspot.com blogger Gaston Diaz put together. It serves as an example and is not eligible for prizes.



HOW TO SUBMIT!

Submit your own version of the Gift of Screws album cover to me at this email address: nobodylovesus77@aol.com. Please provide in jpg format or some other format that can be uploaded to blogspot.**

HOW THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED!

I will personally judge the competition. Submissions must be received by September 12, 2008 11:59 PM Eastern Time. I will announce the winner here at Heroes Are Hard To Find on September 16, 2008 -- the day Gift of Screws hits stores.

THE PRIZES!*

FIRST PRIZE (1 recipient):
$100.00 GIFT CERTIFICATE FOR http://www.amazon.com

SECOND PRIZE (1 recipient):
The Lindsey Buckingham Solo Albums (on CD):

*The winners will need to provide me with mailing addresses so that I am able to send the prizes! I will not share this address with anyone else and will not use it for any other purpose than sending the prizes.

**All art entered must be available for use by Heroes Are Hard To Find. I will post submitted "cover art" in the margins of this blog. Provide me with website url if you would like the picture to direct people to your own website or blog. In addition, the submissions may be used by Heroes Are Hard To Find in YouTube or social networking sites in an effort to get the word out on the album. There is no relationship between between Warner Bros. and this blog or this contest. I'm just trying to support an artist whose work I love!

My first submission was received. It's from a Ledgie. It just hit me that I don't know if these submissions should be anonymous or not! But go to my site and check it out! It's very clever.

I'll try get one done soon. I don't really have a decent camera where I am but I do intend on entering.

I look forward to what everyone comes up with. Currently, it seems like a prize will not be difficult to win.

I don't have Photo Shop and even if I would have it, I wouldn't have any idea how to work with it.....

One more entry added! But you know, we got like 56 days until the contest is over. I think there will be some tough competition.

TrueFaith I think this was a good idea for a contest. If I did the photo thing I'd enter.

I'd like to thank you for having such a fun contest! And of course, thanks for the gift card.

[TrueFaith77]

Thank you for the comments. I was happy to do the contest. Kind of an experiment; although, maybe I should have extended the deadline now that Perez Hilton has weighed in on the cover! Now, people will probably be doing parodies like crazy. Remember who started it all!

Thank you to all the participants.

I forgot to thank you - here in the forum - where the contest was born.

I have had many hours of listening pleasure with my contest prize of GOS CD...and it was overnighted and arrived RIGHT ON THE 16TH!

I thank you as does my little friend....Yoda Buckingham.

You rock Mr. Truefaith77!
