This entry came from Ravyn.

Just loved it the best out of the bunch. Hits on my taste for the macabre and my love of coffee. Sweet!

Thank you & congrats!

Also received these:

From Super Blogliness!:



Also very cool, and includes a few things I like, including Aquaman (the letter A's), a Jack-O-Lantern, Achmed, coffee and more. Very cool, thanks Nik!

and



Wow - THREE entries!

The first is nice and simple. Sweet! The second is more intense, with Aquaman, V-tek, Halloween, Jason Voorhees, coffee. Wow! And the third is simple, again. All very nice! Thanks Dave!

From Zacery Nova:



and



Both very nice and simple. Zac thought the first might be too gory, but I like it. The second was inspired by the film "Arsenic and Old Lace".

Like them both. Thanks, Zac!

First Ever 'Caffeinated Joe' Contest!

Okay - here's the low-down:

I want a cool, new header for "Caffeinated Joe" and from what you can see above, my artistic talent is best when kept really simple.

So I am putting this out there for all of you who are artistic. Make one I love and I will use it as the new header for this site.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As a prize, I will send the winner their choice of:

"Friday the 13th - Uncut - Deluxe Edition" - New and unopened!

-OR-

"Friday the 13th: Part 3 in 3-D - Deluxe Edition" - New and unopened!

-OR-

"Castaways" by Brian Keene - A paperback book, read once, but in almost-new condition!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Details:

What to use? I want it to say "Caffeinated Joe", somewhere - what else you add is up to you, but I also LOVE coffee (obviously), horror flicks, Halloween, pop culture - Heck, just look through some of my old posts if you need inspiration!

Make sure it fits the size above, more or less. I don't want something that takes up half the screen!

Send me as many entries as you want, but the one I actually use will have to be tasteful, as in no blatant nudity or outrageous gore.

Email it to me HERE by September 30th, 2009.

Make sure to let me know who it is from, with a name or nickname and a link to your site.

I will post the winning header, along with all the entries, on October 1st, the beginning of the month of all things Halloween & horror!

If I don't like ANY, I will stick with my simple stuff. But I will still choose a 'winner', the one I like the best out all submissions. So, SOMEONE will win, whether I use it or not.

Thanks for reading and thanks to all who participate.

Good luck!
