Well, they did reject my comic because it argued against the bible and faith. A pity, because if they wish to promote science education, that’s exactly the kind of oppsition they’ll get. It’s only the people that view certain holy books as inerrant that have a problem with good science education. I have yet to meet an anti-evolution agnostic.

Is this for U.S. citizens only? It says “contest is open to anyone who wants to enter with the exception of contest judges and their families”, but it looks all U.S.-ish (fields for “City” and “State”, but nothing about “Country”).

I’ve been asked if folks outside of the U.S. can enter. Sure, why not! Antiscience/antievolution is not restricted to Americans. If you’re a winner, we just ask that you be patient with us concerning the shipping of prizes. I’ve never sent anything international before.

I submitted one with the intent of doing several, then noticed they had a “one per member” clause. Dammit.
