Quoster Contest 2015

Contest CLOSED

What's a quoster you ask?

It is:

i) A quote-poster. Like these:

 

Look HERE for loads of Broken Empire / Red Queen's War quotes.

ii) Something that can win you a prize. Like these:

Prizes to include: an uncrumpled example of this T-shirt. A rare Advance Review Copy of Prince of Thorns, Emperor of Thorns on CD audio, hardcover copies of The Liar's Key, various paperbacks and foreign language alternatives - all books signed and (if requested) dedicated.

Also: The winner will get the option to place a pre-order for the Broken Empire omnibus, The Big Book of Thorns (leather-bound or cloth-bound), at any time from now until 24 hours after Grim Oak Press officially open for pre-ordering.

Ten runners up will get the same option but only for the numbered / cloth-bound edition.

But wait - there's more!

If you're agreeable and your quoster doesn't include copyrighted material Pen Astridge will add it as a T-shirt option in the store she's setting up selling Broken Empire / Red Queen's War quotes on T-shirts to raise money for charity.

[A collection of experts (random folk) will select the 3 main winners (who get to choose prizes from the photo & also get the pre-order options (1 leather-bound the other two cloth-bound)) and there will 7 random winners one of whom will get a prize choice and all of whom will get a pre-order option (cloth-bound).]

The quote should come from a book or short story written by me. The picture (photo, hand-drawn, or just interesting use of the text) should add weight to the words.

There is a maximum of 3 entries per person.

I will post the entries here.

The Entries
Winners first
I canvassed opinions to help my selection and while the over-all winner got 7 votes 61 entries got at least 1 vote and only 3 entries got more than 2. So as you can see opinion was very much divided and the majority of entries were someones favourite. Very many thanks for taking part.
