Hoboken411 GPS Giveaway!

June
6/6/2009 Winner!
And the winner is…
The top vote-getter for the Hoboken411 Bumper Sticker Contest was: “Turnpike is that way.” Congrats to Ian for winning the Tom Tom GPS Unit!

I said, that as part of this contest – the winning entry would also be made into an actual bumper sticker… However, I’m wondering if that’s wise.. Would you pay $2 for this bumper sticker? Alternatively – I was thinking of making a more standard entry into a sticker, namely the “I Heart Hoboken” one. What do you guys think?
See all entries, etc. after the jump…

6/4/2009 Last Chance:
Voting ends at 5pm today – so in case you haven’t voted yet – please do! I’ll choose the final winner from the top vote getters this weekend!

5/27/2009 Update/Reminder:
Here’s a friendly reminder about the current Hoboken411 contest! I’ve already received quite a few entries (some are REALLY good!) – but you have till Sunday, May 31st to get your entries in! I’ll post them all up in a gallery next week – and you can vote on your favorite. I’ll judge from the top vote-getters which one wins the GPS device!
Please see contest rules & guidelines below!
5/18/2009:
Win a free TomTom GPS unit!

I received a brand new in-the-box Tom Tom One GPS unit that I have no use for – and would love to give it away to one lucky Hoboken411 reader! With all the GPS thefts, parking issues & complaints about the roads, this seems like a fun, timely contest!
But wait – there’s a catch!
Hoboken Bumper Sticker Design Contest!
Are you good with graphic design? Can you come up with clever ideas? Hoboken-related concepts? Want or need a GPS unit?
Well then this contest is for you!
Concept/Rules:
- The goal is to create a funny, witty, relevant Hoboken bumper sticker (having the word “Hoboken” helps a lot!)
- Design must be one of two sizes: 900×1500 pixels or 900×3000 pixels (which is either 3×5″ or 3×10″) – the larger one would be preferred.
- You can submit any design you want – however, a clean, high-contrast image is usually best for bumper stickers. Complex imagery will not look too good when printed.
- The winning design will not only receive the GPS device – but have his or her entry made into actual bumper stickers!
- Entries will be posted on Hoboken411 – and readers will vote. I will ultimately choose from the top vote-getters (depending on number of entries)
- ENTRIES MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN SUNDAY, MAY 31ST!
So bust out your comedy helmets and photoshopping skills and send entries to Hoboken411@gmail.com (files MUST be attached to email.)
Good luck!
(PS, rules are subject to change depending on circumstances unknown at this moment)

Photoshop or Illustrator are two options…
If you need help with what software to use – you might be better off drawing your bumper sticker concept entry by hand.

I think any winner should be checked through HPD’s records to make sure they don’t have a propensity to leave their GPS visible in the car.

stayed in hoboken and went the artist route? glad to hear you’re doing well. i’ve gone on the studio tour a few times. maybe i’ve seen your work. i always find the stories of individuals who grew up here interesting. well, not always. but usually. artists/musicians/movie stars more so.

you can still get a 70’s Bonneville for not much out of pocket. but sincerely a brand new 2009 model looks exactly the same, sounds almost exactly the same, but will start on a cloudy day and you don’t have to worry about the lights going dim at a traffic light and getting hit from behind. plus, the brakes actually work! the Bonne T100 has laced wheels too. Harley’s are just to expensive to justify in my opinion.

this should fit in your book of dreams
