Maximum two entries per contestant. Once you submit your entry, it is considered final, and in most cases will be posted as is. We will not edit for typos, grammar or spelling mistakes. We will not save you. We are not the Brian Urlacher to your 2005 Chicago Bears. Nor are we your 5th grade teacher.
We encourage poking fun in good taste, or at least in decent taste, but captions that are racist, vulgar, extremely crude, or otherwise offensive will not be tolerated. Please refrain from making fun of someone's ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. If you feel the need to go on a tirade, we suggest replacing obscenities with words like "Brett Favre," or "Vikings fan."
Announcement of Winner
The winner will be announced on the podcast immediately following the conclusion of the contest, and will be sent an e-mail requesting the winner's shipping address in order for us to send the wonderful prize. First prize winners are ineligble to receive another first place prize for 30 days after their winning caption was submitted. Prizes are normally distributed in 4-8 weeks.
How We Vote
Prior to the podcast announcing the previous week's winner, each Bearscast host places one vote for a first place winner. In the event that a second place prize is available to be given away, we will vote in the same manner and distribute the second place prize.
Moaning, Griping, Etc.
We call 'em as we see 'em. Refs sometimes blow calls, and instant reply occasionally is inconclusive, but arguing with the Bearscast refs is probably a bad idea. We admit that we may remember it when you put on the pads in the next game.
Other
Most importantly, have fun. The Bearscast.com Photo Caption Contest is a great way to bring a smile to the face of Bears fans, even when the team's running game and defense is in shambles. Good luck to everyone that participates!
