Further to earlier discussions here about having a future competition take the form of supplying captions to a published photo, Starsailor have very kindly agreed to judge the entries.

The photograph, taken at Soccer Six in May this year, along with details of how to enter are on the Good Souls Interactive section of Starsailor.net.

It is in fact the same photo I published for a test at that time, but I liked it so much as there is so much happening and so much comic potential, that I've decided to use it for real. I did however note the captions supplied last time and by whom, so no trying to enter funny ones you saw before, by someone else. You are of course perfectly at liberty to formally enter your own original suggestions.

The closing deadline is Monday 8th December and the anonymous entries will be sent to Starsailor after the closing deadline for them to choose their favourites. There will be a signed item for each main winner, along with some merchandise prizes for any highly commended entries that the boys particularly like as runners up.

Please read the entry requirements very carefully, a significant number of entrants to the last draw disqualified themselves purely through carelessness.

I couldn't think how best to describe it, so this is what the dictionary says:

Boo, I couldn't figure that myself - only one entry per person or are we allowed to send multiple versions?

You will find that if you visit and read the page for the competition (link in the top post), your questions are clearly answered.

I wondered why the photograph for the caption competition appeared to be much more popular than the web page it is attached to and following linking URLs, I find the photograph posted on several other message boards, along with requests for witty captions. Is this is the spirit of the Starsailor competition? I hope that should such a caption win a prize, they will be generous to the person that actually supplied them with the winning suggestion.

Don't forget that the deadline for the caption entries is on Monday, so get your brain to work over the weekend.

Well, mine is in. And while I find it frankly hilarious, it's a bit hard to put into writing, and nobody else I've told seems to find it funny!

Still... I amuse myself!
