FYI Caption Contest: Five ‘Oz’ photos, five chances to win
We couldn’t let August get away from us without a “Wizard of Oz”-themed caption contest. And we decided to go big: five pictures and five winners!
Now pay attention here. So we can keep track of everything, contestants must send individual emails to starfyi@gmail.com for each picture they’re writing a caption for. See the directions under each photo.
In other words: Do not send captions for all five pictures in one email. You’ll be disqualified. Also, be sure to include your name, city and phone number in each emailed entry.
As always, we’re looking for funny. Your captions could relate to the movie, or not at all.
Note the extended deadline for this supersized contest: 11:59 p.m. Sunday.
The winning caption for each picture scores a $25 gift card. We’ll publish the winners and runners-up here next Friday.
