Sam’s Dad, Roy, is running a contest and you can win as much as $200 for the best signs increasing public awareness for freeing Sam. The contest runs from now until Sam is set free. Here are Roy’s contest rules: (Please see this updated post for a rules change and prize increase!)
I am doing a promotion to increase the public awareness for Sam. Entries are for the Keene area only. If you live outside of the Keene area, but you work or drive in the Keene area regularly you qualify. If you are from outside of the Keene area, you can get a local person to complete your message and enter it for you. Distribution of the funds will only be made to the local person. Any agreement to split the proceeds between you and the local Keene person is strictly between the two of you.
Two winning entries selected. Each winning entry will receive $100.00.
First Category – best message on a vehicle
Second Category – best message on a non-vehicle/property, i.e. your yard, house, business, apartment, walking sign (T-shirts and etc).Each winning entry will be selected for content (the message) and appearance (visual appeal) solely by me, Sam’s Dad. My decision is final and with no recourse. Each category winner will be selected on the day Sam walks out of the Westmoreland prison a free man. Each message must still be on the vehicle or the property on the same day that Sam becomes a free man. Ian will hold the funds locally for the duration of the promotion. I will announce the winners on the same day Sam walks. Ian will present the winners with the awards.
To enter – email me with a picture of your message(s) and I will reply back with a received message. My email address is roymiller01 (at) hotmail.com If you don’t get a received message from me within 24 hours you better send the picture to me again. In the event of two entries being virtually identical in my opinion, the email with the earliest date and time stamp received by me will be selected.
FAQ’s
Don’t have a car – get permission to use a friends or neighbors car.
No place for message where I live – get permission to use a friends, neighbors, or relatives place.
Can I have more than one entry in each category? – As many entries as you want to have.
Can I submit entries in both categories – Yes, enter both if you desire.
Can I have different messages on all of my entries – Yes, submit as many as you like.
Can I win both categories – Yes, I suppose that is possible.
Keene area activists are welcome to use my yard for signs I approve of if they do not have yard space. Also, you should approach businesses on main roads like Main St. and West St. and ask to use their roadside space – of course, this could be civil disobedience on the part of the homeowners business owners, as I have no idea what oppressive sign regulations Keene has.
