Scavenger Hunt info

Scavenger Hunt - Thanks to Electric Xanrose for this contest idea!  She rawks!

Rules:  DO NOT UPLOAD YOUR ENTRIES INTO YOUR FOLDERS!!  If you post your pics, people who didn't figure out a clue will get points off of your hard work, if I see one in your folders, the points awarded will be REMOVED!  All submitted contest pics must be E-MAILED to me!  YOU must be in the pic, and the pic must have my name "DavePinFlorida" HANDWRITTEN somewhere in the image.  Here’s a sample clue:

"I'm yellow but not a coward, you’ll find me in some kitchens."  CLUE 1 (Issued Friday)
"I've been called 'appealing' and I'm slippery at times" CLUE 2 (Issued Monday)

So if the clue leads you to a banana, you can write "DavePinFlorida" on the banana, or you can hand write a sign and hold it in one hand and hold the banana in the other, or eat the banana or whatever, be creative!!!!!  I will issue points based on your entries, and create a compilation of all entries for each item from all entries received.  BONUS POINTS ARE AVAILABLE.  These are awarded solely at my discretion, and may be for anything from going above and beyond in your pic to me just liking it ALOT!  If you're eating the banana in the example above, and you're in a bikini lookin good, you might get bonus points, or if you go and find a banana tree and write one letter on each banana to spell DavePinFlorida you would get bonus points as well.  If you go to your kitchen, get a banana and take a pic that looks like you are bothered in doing it, you most likely won't get any bonus points!  You must submit 1 seperate pic for each item.  If you get the wrong item you don't get the points or bonus points!  If you have 2 or 3 guesses what the item is, you can submit each guess as a seperate pic and still get the points if you have it right on one of the items.

Submit entries BY EMAIL to davesscavengerhunt@yahoo.com.  This contest will run 5 weeks with 5 items per week, getting progressively harder each week.  The person with the most points at the end, wins the grand prize!  Other prizes will be awarded based on the number of points you've accumulated.  Not everyone will get every pic right, so the number of points and bonus points will really add up!  You have 1 week to get your entries in, during week 1 you can submit pics for week 1's clues, during week 2 you can only submit pics for week 2's clues, not week 1!  Mid-way through the week I will put out additional clues to help generate more correct responses.  Clues will be issued Fridays, and secondary clues will be issued Monday night.  You have until the following Friday to get your entries emailed over to me.  When the new clues are released, entries for the prior week will be cut off!

To join the contest you MUST be on my friends list all you have to do is ask if you're not on there already.  When you email pics, please name them with the item number they are for.  Ie. If your fu-name is Bobbin for Apples, you could name your pic "bobbinforapplesitem2" or "bobbinitem2" or "bobbin2".  Just a little something to help me differentiate who you are and what clue you're submitting for.  Previous entries may NOT be used. All entries must be new, and emailed to me.  No Photoshopping, that takes ALL of the fun out of it!  You MUST FIND THE ITEM.  You can't print a picture of a banana off the internet, you must have the item itself or NO POINTS WILL BE AWARDED.  This is a scavenger hunt after all.  If you want, take your digital camera with you and a card with my name written on it to your local supermarket and snap a pic there of a banana!  Be creative, have fun!  No penalties for wrong entries.

BONUS POINTS!! SUBMIT A SALUTE PIC COMMENTING ABOUT YOUR SCAVENGER HUNT EXPERIENCE!

Week 6 - Friday 6/19/2009 Contest Closes (All entries for week 5 must be received before midnight Friday 6/19/2009)FAQs:

Q. Do I need to submit a seperate pic for each item?
A. Yep, for the simple reason that your pics can each earn bonus points.  If you took 1 pic with all 5 items, you could only earn bonus points once.  Besides, this gives you a chance to be creative, coordinate your outfit to the item, take 5 different looking pictures, and the judge (me) would be more impressed and give out more bonus points!

Q. Are NSFW entries allowed?
A. This is entirely up to you.  I am not putting any constraints on this so you can let your imagination run wild.  They WILL be censored before I post them.

Q. What are the prizes?
A. Prizes will depend on how many points you finish with.  Prizes will vary from fu-bucks to bling packs, autos and cherries, Blasts, and Happy Hours.  Depending on how much you put into the contest, you can get alot out of it.  Everyone who enters will win something!

Q. What if I have computer problems and can't get the pics in on time?
A.  Sorry it's too late after the new clues go up on Friday.  On Friday I'll be posting the pics into a Contest folder so that everyone can see each other's creativity (and wrong guesses!).  I ask that you take the time to rate the pics, so I can get some points outta this deal!  I'll also be posting a points earned chart so we can track who the leaders are along the way.  I am now allowing pics to be submitted for previous weeks.  They will be awarded half points for any week that is already closed.

Q. Can I request a submitted picture NOT be posted?
A. Yep, I respect your wishes when it comes to your photos.  If I post something you don't want displayed, even after the fact, let me know and I will remove it as soon as possible. (Private Message would be best!).

Q. If I need help with an item, can I shout box ya for an extra clue?
A. I won't give answers but I might just point ya in the right direction!

You still have until I release next week's clues (Friday 12:01 a.m.) to get your entries in. Remember, they get harder as we go! Clues are posted in my first blog at: http://fubar.com/blog/294800 and on my profile. DO NOT POST YOUR PICS IN YOUR FU-FOLDERS! If you do, they will be disqualified. People will look and figure out clues and that's no fun! ONLY EMAIL THEM to davesscavengerhunt@yahoo.com Thanks for coming and participating! Remember, the more points you earn, the better of a prize level you'll reach! So be creative with your pics, have fun with this! Bonus points might just make the difference! Please READ the rules! An entry without "DavePinFlorida" handwritten somewhere in the pic DOES NOT COUNT!
