Take Your Rubber Chicken to Work Week is January 25-February 5, 2009. Yes, we know that is more than a week, and last year we found that the extra days helped. And the Take Your Rubber Chicken To Work Fortnight would only be understood in the UK. Anyway, do your best to take your Rubber Chicken to work during those days, but it isn't a big deal either way.
Prizes will be awarded to the best photos and videos submitted. The Twisted Judges will select a number of semifinalists, and a winner will be chosen by public vote. If there is a tie in the final voting the winner will be chosen by Twisted Oak Winery staff.
Submissions will be judged mostly for adherence to the theme, originality, creativity, and technique.
Yes, you can have more than one Rubber Chicken in an image (by all means take the twins!), and the Rubber Chicken(s) can be any size. You do have to have at least one though!
This year we are going to ask you to self-edit a bit. Please limit the number of photos that you enter to your 12 best. We aren't setting a limit on the length or number of videos, but you should know that our attention span is severely tested after a minute or two. You may enter both photos and videos. The highest (original) resolution is preferred.
You can submit your photos and videos in any manner that gets them to me. This includes email to tastingroom@twistedoak.com, snail mailing, hand delivery, or posting them to any of several social networking and photo-sharing sites (I'll post more about those later.) However, whatever you do you must make sure I find them, and you must include your name, birthdate (you gotta be at least 21 to enter), email address, and daytime telephone number. We will acknowledge your entry; if you do not hear back from us please call the winery at 209-736-9080.
Coming soon: a whole bunch of mumbo jumbo! And after that - the fabulous prizes! Oh, the suspense....
