All work and no play... (en francais)

Make Jack and Jill and everyone else very boring --- sooo!

In the spirit of fun (I'm stuck working all weekend, so this is the only fun I get to have)

Announcing...

Blue Blogging Soapbox's
Political Game Contest

We've all seen those funny little flash games floating around the net, you know, the ones you NEVER play at work, only at home. One of my favourites has always been the Penguin Swing.

The Challenge: create a game with a Canadian political theme. Let your imagination run wild! Personally, I don't have an artistic bone in my body, but I do appreciate others talents. How about a game where Jean Chretien is throwing golf balls at Justice Gomery. Your job is to keep Justice Gomery from getting three head lumps. Another good one might be Paul Martin throwing out bags of money. Your job is to catch the bags - drop too many and the game is over - the Canadian ecomomy crashes. Just a couple of ideas off the top of my head. I'm sure we have both the artistic talent and creative minds out there to come up with some outstanding little gems.

The Prize: $100.00

The Rules:
1. Open to anyone
2. Games are to be submitted to bluebloggingsoapbox@gmail.com
3. The games are not limited to flash, but should be in a format that is either easily hosted online or small enough to email.

I will make all submitted games available online for everyone to try out. Winners will be determined by the votes of Bloggingtories. (to be eligible to vote, you must be a member of the Bloggingtories at contest close) Contest will close Monday September 5th at 12 noon EST. Voting will take place over the course of the week and the winner will be announced on Friday, September 9th.

If anyone else would like to sponsor the contest with either a cash prize or donated goods please drop me a line. I'd wouldn't mind adding a Second, Third and Honourable Mention to the contest.

Here's to hours of endless fun this summer!
