tv squad contest

So how did you celebrate your Festivus?

We got some great entries for our Festivus contest, and our winner, Ben McMath (who e-mailed his entry), didn't just take a picture of how he was celebrating the holiday, he actually had a party, with invitations and everything! For his creativity and ambition (the pics don't do the party justice), Ben is the lucky winner of the cool Sumo Lounge Bean Bag Chair! Congrats, Ben!

Of course, if you entered the contest, we're giving each of you at least one star (our runners-up are getting two)! Ben gets 10 for his win. Thanks to everybody who entered (stars will updated soon).

Check out another one of Ben's pics and his description of the party after the jump.

We know, you're busy with Christmas shopping and parties and overall general holiday merriment. But you really have to enter our Festivus contest! Not only do you win a fantastic $250 Sumo Bean Bag Chair, but you also get 10 stars! That's right, 10! If you're already on our top contributors list on the right, this will rocket you near the top. If you're not on the list yet, you'll instantly become a contender! (And because we're feeling merry ourselves, everyone who enters gets two stars! As long as they follow the guidelines, of course)

Here's what you do: take a pic of something festive you're doing for the holidays. Maybe you have the best decorations in town. Maybe you have the best-decorated Christmas tree. Maybe there's a house in your town that has the ugliest decorations you've ever seen. Maybe a co-worker did something embarrassing at the office Christmas party and you caught it on your cell phone camera. Maybe you dressed up your dog as Rudolph. Send us your stuff! You can send your entries to tvsquad@gmail.com, or at our Flickr group.

Deadline is midnight on Christmas Eve. Right before Santa Claus turns into a pumpkin again, or whatever happens. Be creative, be original, and have some fun.
