Only Two More Days - Bloggity Contest #1

Only two more days left to enter my first ever Bloggity Contest. I don't have a lot of entries, so your chances of winning something are still very good. Here's the details, in case you don't feel like scrolling down:

The first prize is a copy of Colonia: Islands and Anomolies by Jeff Nicholson.

The second offered prize, contributed by Larry Young specifically for this contest is a page of original artwork from Colonia. I'm not sure which issue this page is from, but I'm pretty sure it's from one of the issues after the collection. It's a bit of a key page, as it shows Jack figuring out some of the anomolies of the world he's been thrust into.

If you want a copy of Colonia: Islands and Anomolies by Jeff Nicholson OR if you want a shot at the original artwork please enter the contest! Deadline is 9 pm Pacific, January 20th.

All you have to do is write a micro-essay (no more than 50 words) on why/how comic books are good as educational materials. Multiple entries are allowed if you think you've come up with a better essay later on, but you can only win one prize.

Send your entries to emeraldtegan@comcast.net with a subject line of Bloggity Contest #1. Include your name and your entry.

And please feel free to spread the news of this contest to anyone you think might be interested.

And, speaking of spreading the news, there are other contests happening all over the blogoverse. We seem to have broken out in a mutual case of contestedness. Comic Book Galaxy is having a Street Angel Contest, in which you can win lots of cool stuff. Polite Dissent is giving away Nikolai Dante: The Romanov Dynasty, and his rules for entering are much more amusing than mine.

Update: If you know of any other contests in which comic books are the prize, please note them in the comments below. I know I've missed a few. And yes, I entered both the contests above.
