Annual Halloween contest - be creative, win big!
Posted by Emily October 7, 2008
Pumpkins beware! After much deliberation*, we're bringing back the Halloween contest for a third incarnation. And with Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People in full swing, we're extending it to the Homestarrunner.com universe as well as Sam & Max!

How does this contest work?
It's easy! (Or complicated, your call.) Just come up with something creative that relates to Sam & Max and/or Strong Bad and submit it to us at contest@telltalegames.com to be considered. Halloween themes are optional, but we love 'em! The deadline is October 28, and we'll announce the winners on Halloween.

Not sure what we're talking about? Take a look at some of the previous entries...

2007 winners | Some other 2007 entries | 2006 winners | Some other 2006 entries

Of course, we're not suggesting you go out and do exactly what these people did. In this contest, creativity counts! So come up with something awesome, artistic, or completely ridiculous. The best entries tend to be the ones that make us go "what the hell?" for a few seconds before we get the joke.

The contest will be judged by Telltale staff and some of our closest friends (quite possibly including Steve Purcell and the Brothers Chaps). We'll choose three winners.

Okay, blah blah blah. What are the prizes?!
Each winner will get to choose between a Sam & Max prize pack (Season Two downloads plus collector's DVD, soundtrack, and case file) or a Strong Bad prize pack (Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People downloads and Strong Bad Emails 3-DVD box set), PLUS one of the t-shirts we sell in our store (you choose the style and size).

To help you comprehend the massive awesomeness of these prizes, here are some gratuitous graphics...



Are there any other rules?
Yes. Don't do anything illegal or that would make baby Jesus cry. Also:
  • Send your entries to contest@telltalegames.com with "Halloween contest" in the subject line. Your entry must be received by 9:00 am Pacific time on Tuesday, October 28 to qualify.
  • You can submit as many entries as you like, but can only win once.
  • Please don't send attachments over 2MB. If your entry is bigger than that, host it somewhere else and send us a link. (Our server thanks you!)
*Okay, there wasn't really any deliberation involved.

Crap, I have the Season Pass, but I want that DVD!

If you win and already have the games, you can gift the downloads to a friend and still keep the hard goods for yourself. It's the prize that keeps on giving!

Thanks Emily. So if I win, you'll give me a download link or something, and I pass it to a friend?

It's more likely a discount code that changes the price from some monies to no moneys at checkout.

Also: Is this limited to one cool thing per person, or can one guy send in a few cool things as entries?

You can send in multiple entries, but you're only eligible to win once.

Oh, it'd be pretty ridiculous to expect to win ALL THREE SPOTS. And pretty greedy, too!

I just have a few cool ideas already, and I was just wondering if I could send it in as an entry if I got around to getting more than one of them done. Thanks for the answer!

I wonder what i'll think of. I have a dog so maybe something like one of that sam thing.
With the fact that homestar is allowed this year maybe something like that.

Ooh, I have an idea to make a Homestar costume! I'm not shure if it'll become a reality, but if it dosen't, are sketches allowed?

So, how exactly are you gonna send the DVDs and T-shirts to me- I mean, the winners?
And willthe season pack be the PC or Wii version of SBCG4AP (as there's the gift system for Wii)?
