ROM 'The Snowbird' contest

Post by shauni »

Hello! Here we go people. Here is this years holiday comp!

Last year we celebrated the holiday season with Ryan Antonio’s ‘The Season’ http://www.pebbleversion.com/ROM/ROMArc ... ip207.html . This year I decided the do a similar thing again to mark the occasion. The whole of this month will see ROM’s take on the classic story ‘The Snowman’ http://www.thesnowman.co.uk/ by Raymond Briggs http://www.thesnowman.co.uk/story/creator.htm .

The Snowman animated film was adapted from Raymond Briggs beautiful book which was organically published in 1978 by Hamish Hamilton.
The film was made by TVC London who had been commissioned by Channel 4 when it was just launched. No-one knew the film would be such a success. It won a BAFTA for Best Children’s Drama and was OSCARTM nominated.
This year The Snowman celebrates 25 years on Film. As part of the celebrations, I’ve decided to make this little parody staring the ROM cast. ‘The Snowbird will run up until the beginning of January.

There is currently a chance to get YOUR snowman IN this little festive parody.

There is a snowman party towards the end of the story. The comp this year is to design a snowman to attend the ball. Below is a template. The best entries will be featured in the comics. This will end on the 19th of Decemeber. Please post your entries here. You can use image shack http://www.imageshack.us/ to host your pictures. Post there name and your picture in this thread for a chance to win. Good luck!

I'm afraid I was incapable of making a Snowman. However, I did manage to construct a Snow OnePieceFanboy.

XD It pwns and you know it.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

:-q I didn't see the "contest is closed message"... I kind of had to leave the window open for about four hours while sitting through my school's Christmas concert. The Jazz Band played like nine songs. It was :-{)

...Interpret that for yourself.
