    Default Cover Contest Dec 4 - 10, 2019: Dining Out

    This is a Jack Kirby cover that I've submitted as entries in a couple of these contests because it's funny and I like it:



    This week's contest is to post a cover showing a restaurant or a fast-food establishment. As usual, here are the rules:

    1) Post One (& ONLY ONE) Cover that fits the theme of this Week's Contest!
    2) Cover must be from a Published Comic Book or Collected Volume! [NOTE - maybe an Admin can suggest a modification to this rule, to make it explicit that covers from graphic novels as well as from collections are valid?]
    3) Covers must be Posted before Voting Begins!
    4) Voting Begins 12 AM Tuesday and Runs Until 12 AM Wednesday PST (3 AM EST)!
    5) Vote by Posting the name in BOLD of the Poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most! A vote need not be in bold, but it does make it easier to Count-The-Votes!
    6) The Winner of the Contest is the Entry with the MOST Votes after the Voting-Period!
    7) It's Okay to Discuss the Covers but if you Think Someone's Entry Doesn't Fit the Theme or Violates the Rules, you Don't need to Argue it in the thread, Simply Don't Vote for It!
    8) Plus: Occasionally Voting will Result in a Tie! The Person Who Started the Thread will do the Counting that Week will Usually call for a TIE-Breaking --Vote from Someone who has Not Yet Voted!
    9) AFTER the Tie-Breaker Vote, Voting Ends and the Winner is Declared by The One Who Started the Thread (or assigned surrogate) and Thus will do the Counting.
    10) HAVE FUN!

    We don't have an admin for the contest. I can and will change the rules I have posted on my Weekly Winners thread but that's about the extent of it.
    I think people (me included) almost always copy + paste from the previous weeks rules anyway so it comes down to someone changing their rules and hoping it will be carried along that way.

    Two proposals for updating the cover contest rules:

    A:

    2) Cover must be from a Published Comic (single issue, album, graphic novel, or collection)!

    B:

    Move rule (7) to (3), and change the numbering of the intervening rules. This is purely cosmetic, but makes for a better structure.

    I would go with A simple and easy.

    Thank you for printing out some rules...

    As far as changing them goes... do we really need to? Seems like we've been trucking along without incident. The phrase "it ain't broke, don't fix it" comes to mind.
