April Fool’s Contest!

It’s a contest!

Once a year, the Blue Line editors get foolish and post silly stuff about Boulder.  Sort of a Boulder version of the Onion (the Bunion!). Last year, we invited our readers to contribute to our April Fool’s issue and they rocked it. We think you might be funny too.

Write a winning article for the Blue Line’s April Fool’s issue and win this finely crafted Blue Line mug, perfect for your favorite hot beverage.   If you are so inclined, include an original graphic.  We love charts and graphs of all kinds.

So here are the rules:

  • All content must be original, developed by you
  • You must have rights to all images and graphics that you include
  • For this issue only, you may use a pseudonym  (or your real name if you prefer)
  • Each headline must have at least one paragraph of content to accompany it
  • It’s okay to be sophomoric, but not okay to be mean
  • Anger isn’t that funny
  • Entries are due by noon, March 30
  • Submit entries via our Submit an Article page
  • Winning entries will run on April 1, 2013
  • Questions?  Contact us
  • If we post your article, we’ll send or deliver a Blue Line mug to you

We’re looking forward to your entries!
