What is it? - The photo contest
This week’s contest is a photo contest, but not just any photo contest. To enter this contest you will need a digital camera, and a Militantplatypus sticker.
Rules
The listed rules are guidelines; the final (and completely subjective) decision will be made by Militantplatypus.
- The most interesting picture of the placement of a Militantplatypus sticker wins
- Nudity is sexual in nature and may or may not qualify as interesting. Please use discretion
- An accessible link must be posted in the comments (for this post) by a registered user to qualify as an entry
- Only images that can be downloaded, and then uploaded to Militantplatypus will be considered
- The Militantplatypus sticker must be clearly visible in the photo
- Other than croping, or other ‘minor’ adjustments, photoshop and the like are exluded. The contest is for actualy placement, not imagined
- Photo size must not exceed 1024×768px and/or 750kb
- Limit 2 entries per person
- Entries must be made by April 30th 12:00PM PST
Acquiring a Sticker
The goal here is not to make money on stickers. So the stickers will be offered at cost, or free.

Thats why I put a smiley in it - it was teasing ;-P
April 5th, 2007 at 9:04 am
so im unclear
are we supposed to take pics of anything interesting as long as it has the sticker
or
are we supposed to take a “what is it” picture that has the sticker in it and then tell what it is later?
April 5th, 2007 at 9:33 am
The first one
April 5th, 2007 at 10:30 am

i got my stickers in today. i opened the envelope for them before i opened my letter form the office of admissions at texas tech.
that made me laugh after i’d realized what i’d done.
i can just imagine my thought process “hmmm… stickers… or… whether i got into college or not…? … stickers.”
April 9th, 2007 at 7:25 am
Wow, just wow…
I guess the next question is: did you get in?
April 9th, 2007 at 7:26 pm
yeah.
