Wordherders, all of your photos are lovely and professional, but that’s not to say you might not have some alternatives hiding in your “Not For Sharing” picture file. Now you can win a prize from your author head shots. Here, a different kind of contest for writers. Come on, Herders! Let’s win it!

From the Official Contest Webpage…

The rules, from Wendig:

• Submit to [Wendig] the most awkward author photo you can conjure of yourself.
• This must be a photo of you. Not someone else. You must also own the rights to the photo.
• Send this photo to me at terribleminds at gmail dot com with subject header:
  REVENGE OF AWKWARD AUTHOR PHOTO CONTEST
• And send it to me by [EDIT: 6/23], at noon EST (meaning, you get two weeks).
• Photoshop or other manipulation is okay, but not necessary.
• You get one entry per person. Multiple entries disqualifies you automatically.
• Winners will be determined by your voting (a roughly week-long process).

See the Official Contest Webpage for the list of exciting prizes for the top three entries.
