[ COMPETITIONS ]

Yes, that's right, cool free stuff here we come! To thank everyone who regularly visits and uses TAAU, we've decided to try and run a competition, each month, for the rest of our natural lives. This should hopefully provide everyone with enough incentive to keep us alive and to care for us, be nice to us, stroke us and... hey! not there!

Now, we're not going to be sad enough to use that old chestnut, 'you gotta be in it to win it!', but you get the idea; the more people enter these, the more chance there is that you'll actually win (funnily enough) and the more we can afford to splash out every month on a prize.

FEBRUARY COMPETITION: WIN A MISB 'POLICEMAN PETE' TONKA TRANSFORMER

Okay people, it's that time of the month again: time for you to get your creative juices flowing and take part in TAAU's February competition! Woo hoo!

Now, to make it as easy and as accessible as possible for everyone, this month's competition will not require any research to be done, special equipment to be bought, artistic skills to used, specific software to be learnt, inside knowledge to be gained or anything else that could be used as an excuse for not taking part

All you simply have to do this month is come up with a Transformers joke of some kind!

Now, when we say 'joke', we mean the "There was a Autobot, a Decepticon and a Fleshling in a hot air balloon" kind of joke; namely, only the written or verbal kind, we don't want any jokes that need any kind of visual aids, such as picture captions, etc.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

Your Transformers joke can be of any kind and of any length, so you can write a one-liner or come up with a longer 'story' styled joke, it's completely up to you.

There are no limits to the number of jokes you can submit, but the joke/s entered must be your own, original compositions, and not taken from another person/source.

Once you've completed your masterpiece, email it to us at: competition@theyareamongus.com

THE PRIZE:

Now, even though you shouldn't need any encouragement to take part - as the sheer fun of it, coupled with the chance to possibly walk away with the award for the best joke on the board should be enough - we're also offering you the chance to win a very cool and very cute Transformer which we think is very under-valued and under-rated:

Now, we know you may not necessarily buy one these for yourselves, so we thought we'd offer one as a prize instead, as they're really very cool: they transform and come with seven different spoken phrases! What more could you want in a toy!

DEADLINE:

All entries must be received on or before 28/02/03

RULES:

You understand and agree to let Theyareamongus.com ('TAAU' ) use all submitted entries, and without limitation. TAAU also reserves the right to refuse any joke, and thus entry, on grounds of; 'bad taste', poor quality or for any other undisclosed and unlisted reason. Participants may enter as many times as they wish, but must submit them on or before 28/02/03. Competition is open to Australian and New Zealand residents only.
