The New Yorker is running a Flickr contest for new versions of their mascot, Eustace Tilley . Above, one of Ape Lad’s fine contributions.
Eustace Tilley appeared on our first cover, in 1925, and has returned for nearly every anniversary issue since. Create your own version of The New Yorker’s iconic dandy for a chance to be featured on newyorker.com in celebration of our 83rd anniversary next month.
To enter, upload a jpeg of your interpretation of Eustace Tilley, at a minimum resolution of 72 dpi. Maximum file size is 1 megabyte. There is a limit of five entries per person/per e-mail address.
ALL ENTRIES MUST BE RECEIVED BY JANUARY 24, 2008, AT 9 A.M. EASTERN TIME.
Visit www.newyorker.com/go/tilley for more information and complete contest rules.
Forewarned is forearmed: According to the Official Rules, Condé Nast will take all rights to all entries:
Entrant hereby transfers and assigns the entire copyright (for the full term of copyright including any extensions thereto) throughout the world, in any and all media and forms of publication, reproduction, transmission, distribution, performance, adaptation, enhancement or display now in existence or hereafter developed in such Submission to Condé Nast Publications. Entry into this Promotion constitutes entrant’s irrevocable and perpetual permission and consent, without further compensation or attribution, to use such Submission for editorial, advertising and publicity purposes by the Sponsor and/or others authorized by the Sponsor, in any and all media now in existence or hereinafter created, throughout the world,
Seeing as how Tilley is a licensed character, this is unsurprising, but people should read fine print.
This one slayed me. So clever.
