Writer Mark Rayner holds contests in which he invited people to create vintage ads from the 1940s-1960s. Except that these ads would be from future environments depicted in science fiction. Rayner has now held a new contest with the same theme. You can view the winners at his site: http://markarayner.com/vintageads/ Extract below.....
Details on how to enter are below. See the finalists from the first contest here. Okay, I'll admit it, I wimped out. Getting the list down to five was impossible, and to be honest, six was brutal too, but I just can't afford to give away so many copies of Marvellous Hairy. (Available on Kindle for $1.99, Amazon for $10.99.) Thanks to everyone for their creativity and willingness to play! Vote using the poll to the right -- you have until October 11th!
