New to this year’s Summer E Games is the Caption Contest, where we’ll give you four photos and let you decide if they could use slight modification and a caption to go along with them. From there, hilarity ensues and the community picks their favorite. Then, of course, we give out badges.

The Rules

You must be a registered member of The Escapist. You can sign up for your free account by clicking here, or Login with Facebook.
Choose up to four of the images found below to add a caption to
While you are welcome to change the photo around a bit, this is a CAPTION contest. Click here to visit the photoshop contest

All entries must be submitted in jpg, jpeg, gif formats

Voting

The winners will be decided based on the number of votes received. Voting will begin on Wednesday, August 25th and will end on Friday, August 27th at approximately 5PM EST.

The Prize

Gold, Silver or Bronze and perhaps even an Honorable Mention or two! However, unlike other events, this event has 4 separate entries for winning! So, if you are REALLY GOOD (or really lucky), you have the chance of winning 4 gold badges in one event.

A Special Thank You

This idea is great and has been a topic of conversation around our office as well as the community, so we would like to thank Portal Maniac for bringing it to our attention!

Permanent Banning

If you are found cheating in any way, shape or form, you will be permanently banned from all Themis Media properties and have all previous medals, badges and titles stripped.
