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 Carlos Marmol to your 2008 Chicago Cubs. 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 "Yankees," "Cardinals fan" or "shirtless father and son duo at a White Sox game."
Announcement of Winner
The winner will be announced on the Monday 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 Monday podcast announcing the previous week's winner, each Cubscast 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. Umpires sometimes blow calls, but arguing with the Cubscast umpires is probably a bad idea. We admit that we may remember it when you come up to bat in the later innings of the next game.
Other
Most importantly, have fun. The Cubscast.com Photo Caption Contest is a great way to bring a smile to the face of Cubs fans, even when the Cubs are comfortably in fourth place, nestled right behind the Milwaukee Brewers (this was written in 2006, can you tell?). Good luck to everyone that participates!
