The Setup

Looks like we're following a modified Fibonacci series for the picking of the months for our 7 on the 7th contests. Deal with it.

If you're interested in the first 7 on the 7th contest, visit this page.
If you're interested in the second 7 on the 7th contest, visit this page.

The Contest

It's summer, so winning this one is gonna involve some summertime activity. (If you live in the southern hemisphere, we're sorry. You might be out of luck.) In order to win this one, you'll need to send along a photo of a Halo-themed pic... mowed into a lawn. This can be your lawn, this can be your neighbor's lawn, this can be a public park - we don't care. (We are NOT encouraging you to vandalize public property, and we will NOT bail you out of jail if you do something stupid.) If you have a small lawn, and you'd rather create your masterpiece with clippers instead of a mower, we're cool with that. (In Guatemala - and other Central and South American countries - they cut grass with machetes; if you can carve the Pillar of Autumn from a grass patch with one of those babies, we'll give you extra credit.) You can also submit pressed-down designs (like crop circles), instead of mowed ones.

The Rules

Rules are simple, and pretty common-sense:

• You can enter as many times as you like, but you can only win once.
• All entries must be uploaded to contestuploads.bungie.org. (If you email them, we will toss them. If you upload them somewhere else, we will toss them. If you stick them in an envelope and send them in via US mail, we will toss them - but we will first ridicule you on our front page.)
• All entries must be in by 9PM, PST, on Sunday, July 16, 2006. (That's a bit over a week.)
• Judging will be done by HBO/Bungie, and winners will be announced on or soon after July 21st.
• Judging will be based on the humor of the picture, the skill of the cutting, and the quality of the photo. Send us a 160x120 postcard shot of a fuzzy patch of green, you're gonna lose. (If you cut the perfect Mona Lisa in your front yard, we'll ooh and ahh, but you won't win anything, because the Mona Lisa has nothing to do with Halo.)
• Keep it relatively clean. R- or X-rated entries stand no chance of winning. Sorry.
• The top 7 entries will win something cool and summer-themed from Bungie. They won't tell us what (past the 'summer theme' part).
• Contestants can live anywhere in the world.
• You cannot enhance your image; raw photos only. (We've got trained monkeys that can smell photoshop, so don't mess with us.)

Prizes are courtesy of Bungie Studios. Because they rock. Hassles involved with the contest are the responsibility of bungie.org. Because we love to deal with your problems.

Important disclaimer: While Bungie is totally good for the prizes - sometimes it takes them a little while to mail stuff out. Please be patient. I could put a silly standard "Please Allow 6-8 Weeks For Delivery" note here - but it shouldn't take THAT long. The point is, though, that it might take more than a week; don't worry, we didn't forget you (and neither did Bungie).

The Finer Print

This next block was written for the first contest - and amazingly, there were STILL people who did what it says not to do. So I'm leaving the relevant paragraph.

This is the part I hate to write, because it makes me feel bad to think folks are too lazy to actually READ the rules to a contest they're entering... but I'm writing it because folks ARE too lazy, for the most part.

If you send your entry to a different email address (like lwu@bungie.org, or halo@bungie.org, or any OTHER address at bungie.org, or any address at Bungie), or you post your entry on our forum and expect that to suffice as an entry... you ain't gonna win.

The Finest Print

This contest (and all subsequent similar contests) is run by bungie.org. Prizes are supplied by Bungie Studios - we are NOT Bungie Studios, we just have a key to their schwag closet. Don't bug them if you've got a problem - bug US.

We are NOT Bungie, Inc.! Bungie Inc. are bungie.net!
