July Caricature Quote Contest: Shakespeare

Journal Entry: Mon Jul 5, 2010, 3:28 PM





The caricature quote contest for July is now open. The subject is Shakespeare and the winner will have a choice of t-shirt/mug/print/postcards as a prize. To enter, simply pick your favourite Shakespeare quote and contact me - either through noting me via DA, through my website [link] or through Twitter [link] .

The first to suggest a quote will claim it, and I will post quotes here once claimed, so check here before suggesting one. It is one quote per person, and the quote should be (1) by Shakespeare, and (2) of a suitable length to fit on a t-shirt/mug/print (check out the PO shop to see current examples: [link]).

The competition will be judged by Sarah Bakewell [link] , author of (among other things) "How to Live: A life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at an Answer" [link] Just to warn you: she has already stated that those suggesting "To be or not to be" will "have to pay a fine"!

The closing date will be the end of 31st July, and the winner will be announced here. Also - and bear this in mind when you enter - the winner will have the opportunity to both choose AND judge the NEXT competition (i.e. August) - if they want (not obligatory). Choice of a suitable subject is conditional on my agreement, but I am quite broad minded!
