Contest
Welcome to our series of monthly-ish contests.
July contest: TBD.
This month’s prize: TBD
The winning entry will be chosen by Twisted’s staff. Our selection will be totally subjective and based on no predefined criteria we can articulate ahead of time. As they say, we’ll just know it when we see it.
Entries will be accepted through July 31 at midnight Pacific Time. One entry per person, por favor. We’ll mail the prize to the winner free if you’re in the US, though be warned it will be via the postal service’s slowest snail. Your entry in this contest comprises your agreement to all of the above and your permission to publish your entry and name on our blog. By accepting and in consideration for the prize, the winner will agree to assign all right, title, and interest including but not limited to any copyright and/or trademark rights in the idea and any goodwill associated therewith to Twisted LLC. Good luck!
