The first, best, most accurate and only Castle fan site that allows you to interact with the Castle cast & crew

As mentioned on our forums a few weeks ago here at CastleTV.net we’ve been thinking about an artwork competition to help promote season 2 of Castle… This competition is now open!

Rules:

1. All forms of artwork will be accepted (digital or hand drawn/created although the latter will need to be scanned or photographed).
2. Entries are open to all including those outside the USA.
3. Entries close Monday 27th July, 8pm PDT (USA).
4. Entries should be free of offensive language/images (if you are unsure what is acceptable please PM or email us before posting your entry).
5. Entries need to be posted to our forums at
   http://castletv.net/forums/get-creative/castletvnet-artwork-competition-entries you must register to be able to post in this section of the forum.
6. Maximum of 3 entries per person.
7. One entry will win the prize, a Castle cast photograph personally signed by Nathan Fillion.
8. Winning entries will be posted to the CastleTV.net website.   Other prizes may be allocated at the discretion of CastleTV.net.
9. All entries will be posted on our forums at the completion of the competition where people will be free to repost them to forums, blogs etc (remember, the idea of this competition is to promote Castle)

Prize:

8×10 of the original Castle cast signed in person by Nathan Fillion at the Collectormania convention in the UK last month.   Valued at $40.

Note: Sorry about the quality of this photograph of the photo, I will replace it soon, but you get the idea.   The actual photo is clear and not overexposed as this image would have you believe.

Some ideas include banners people can use to post on forums etc.   Videos that can be posted to youtube and linked on forums, blogs etc.   Icons that people can use on facebook, myspace, blogs etc.   Hand drawn artwork, really pretty much anything.   The intent is to draw interest to or directly promote season 2 of Castle.

Things you can include in your entries are:

• Images of the cast or images from series 1
• Premiere date of season 2 September 21, 2009
• Reference to this website ie. castletv.net

For this competition to be worthwhile we need lots of entries so please mention it wherever you go online!

You can use this banner if you like, or just post a link to this post or directly to the forum.
