Calling all Santacon and Santarchy Artists: pick up your camera or paint brush and enter your costume or artwork for a chance to win $50.00, and $50.00 to the charity of your choice.

Here’s you chance to become the Thomas Nast of the International Anti-Claus movement—yes, your name will be praised by art critics forever if you win ASLaN’s first annual Anti-Claus Art & Photography Contest.

Details of the contest, example of existing Anti-Claus artwork and photographs, and submission guidelines can be found at:

Please tell your Santacon friends they can win beer money and bless someone else through their Santa obsessions. The deadline of the 2007 competition is Epiphany (January 6th), and winners will be announced on Candlemas, (February 2nd).

Note: this is an Anti-Santi competition – which seeks the serious, the sarcastic or the surreal, in regards to Santa. Some Santacon outfits are too mainstream Santa for this contest.

Krampuses, Knecht Ruprechts, St. Nicholases, and Belschnickles are all welcome. (See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knecht_Ruprecht for more info on these.)
