Sheepshead Review Contests
Bo is Sheepshead Review’s fluffy mascot. This semester, Bo is touring campus and will be popping up in many places. He is photo-documenting his visits and wants you to guess where he is. The people who submit the most correct places by the end of the semester will be put into a drawing for a prize.
Rules:
· Each guess (other than the orgsmorg debut guess) must be emailed to sheepsheadreview@uwgb.edu with a note in the SUBJECT line indicating “WHERE’S BO?” by SATURDAY at midnight the week the photo was posted. Photos will be posted at the Sheepshead's Facebook page by Tuesday at noon. No late entries will be accepted.
· Entries must include the specific location* of Bo along with your name. Also, your campus email address must be included if you are submitting from an email address other than your campus address.
*Specific location means: if Bo is located in an elevator, need the specific location of that elevator – for example, the blue elevator in Theater Hall. If Bo is located in a private study room in the library, stating that he is in the private study room is enough, we do not have to know which one. The picture should have enough hints within it to allow you to make a pretty specific locale. Entries should not simply state “In Theater Hall”. It should state something like: “on the couches on third floor of Theater Hall.” Some leeway will be allowed, but very general answers will be considered incorrect.
· Contest only open to currently registered students and faculty of UWGB. Contest is not open to members of Sheepshead Review.
· At the end of the semester, we will post a listing of all the correct locations at the Facebook page. Each week, we will post the correct location of the previous week’s photo along with the new picture.
· Those people submitting the most correct answers will be entered into a drawing for a prize at the end of the semester. The prize winner will be announced between December 10 and December 13.
