Dear Hank-Fans,

    Another CONTEST!!! Here’s a chance to put your creative skills to the test:

    We know that we haven't even had Thanksgiving yet, but we wanted to give y’all a head-start on this great Christmas contest! (Deadline: December 10th, 2013)

The Contest:

   We've provided this illustration (click here) straight from the cover of The Original Adventures of Hank the Cowdog for you to use and turn into a Hank the Cowdog Christmas Card! You may use the image in any way you like: crop it, add words, borders, decorations to it, and anything else you want to do to make it a fun and festive Christmas card!

The Prizes

    Winners will be chosen in the following categories: 

•  There will be a Grand Prize winner for the Best-Overall-Card (chosen by Mrs. Erickson, a.k.a. Sally May) who will receive a prize package containing: 1 autographed, hardcover copy of Hank #62 (“The Ghost of Rabbits Past), 1 audiobook of Hank #62, and 1 pack of Hank playing cards.

• AND: We will choose 3 additional winners who will each receive an autographed hardcover copy of Hank 62, “The Ghost of Rabbits Past.” These prizes will be awarded in the following categories:
• Cleverest: Makes Sally May Laugh Most
• Most Surprising / Wackiest: Makes Sally May’s Eyebrows Jump
