Easter 2008 Clown Egg Contest!

Easter is quickly approaching, and that means Easter eggs! We've held a Clown Egg contest for the past two years, and everyone enjoyed themselves so much we're doing it again.

For years now Clowns International has kept a collection of eggs painted with clown faces as a registry of unique face designs, and now it's your turn to make your own Clown Egg. To enter, decorate an egg with a clown face; it can be your clown face, something completely new, or an homage to a famous clown (as long as it is clearly labeled as such; you may not copy a famous clown face and pass it off as your idea). Go nuts; you may use props and backgrounds as well. See the Clown Gallery for inspiration.

Take a picture of your creation and upload the photo to the Clown Gallery (in the Clown Eggs category) by midnight on Friday, March 21. The winner will be notified on by Clown Mail on Saturday, and the announcement of the winning entry made on Easter Sunday, March 23.

If you don't have access to a digital camera, you can also enter by:

• sending me a regular photo through "snail mail" (send me a Clown Mail to get the address)
• drawing your clown face on the egg shape provided below, printing it out and mailing it to me (Please let me know if you need a different size)
• using a paint program to draw your clown face on the egg shape provided below and uploading it to the Clown Gallery

Please do not send me your eggs, unless they're from the goose that laid golden eggs or Faberge.

This contest is open to all members of Clown Forum and their children. You may enter as often as you like. There may or may not be a separate prize for Junior Joeys, depending on how many enter.

Winner will receive a fabulous prize package including:

• the Clown Forum mug of their choice
• the Clown Egg Contest winner award icon next to their name (see past winners Sassafras, Shoq, and Flower)
• various extra props and buttons yet to be determined

Here's the blank egg image: right-click and choose "Save as" to save it to your hard drive, then open it in the paint program of your choice.

Here are my entries for the Egg contest...

The Eggs are 99 Cent Ceramic eggs from the General store section of our Cracker Barrell Restaurant.

The only other purchase was a $2.00 bag of wooden beads from Walmart.

The eggs were both painted with a layer of flesh toned acrylic paint. B.A's was tinted with a little smudge of lipstick to give him a slightly sunburned look... His stubble was watered down black paint applied with a qtip.

The noses are wooden beads with covered in red balloon scraps. They were glued on with Hot Glue.

The Facial Features were drawn and cut out of cardstock then Hotglued on. Fine details (RD's Freckles and B.A.'s Eyebrows) were drawn on with a sharpie.

Hair: RD's hair is yellow eyelash yarn left over from when I made my arm warmers when I did the show CATS. B.A.'s Hair is frayed out brown yarn.

Hats: RD's hat is made completely out of cardstock and a thin piece of orange ribbon.
B.A.'s Hat is the cap from a can of hairspray and it has a cardstock brim and accessories.

Total Expense... Under $5.00
