Mardi Gras Photo Contest

Hello everybody! Below are the guidelines for our Mardi Gras Picture Contest in all their glory.

1. The objective is take a picture of the strangest (think outrageous!) costume you come across.

2. Said costume must be found at any of the Mardi Gras parades during the next week.

3. You must be in the picture with the person that you stumble across in order to prevent/ensure that the picture is legitimate and that it is your own.

4. As Dr. Hunt has already requested, the person that you take a picture with must be wearing an outrageous costume (i.e not naked).

5. The picture must be posted on this blog on Thursday, March 10th 2011. No pictures will be accepted earlier than midnight of the 9th, and no later than midnight of Thursday. This is to ensure that y'all will not scope out the competition and then attempt to trump your classmates with a more brilliant, ridiculous picture.

Nomination Period

From Thursday the 10th to Friday the 11th, you all will be nominating your favorite picture. Each of you will email me to tell me which is your favorite photo. You are not allowed to vote for your own picture entry. The winner be announced in class the following Monday.

The Prize!

Later in the semester, we will be attending a snowball stand (most likely Plum Street) and I will pay for the winner's snowball. In addition, the contest's winning photo will replace the slideshow at the top of the blog.


That's it folks! Get ready to take some of the uttermost ridiculous (hopefully anyway) photos this blog will ever see. Although the photos must be outrageous, remember that we are representing our school so let's not get too overboard with any inappropriate content.

Below is a picture I took during Mardi Gras last year--it is neither extremely ridiculous or outrageous (y'all can do way better), but I figured it might serve as some sort of a template.
