Default May Contest: Scion-Themed Crossword Puzzle

OK guys, something a little different this month. We have been doing a lot of photography and drawing, this month you can put the crayons and cameras away.

This month you are going to create a Scion-themed crossword puzzle. The end result should look like an empty set of boxes and a list of clues. The puzzle words and clues are entirely up to you and can contain Scion-related words, general automotive words, even ScionLife member names! Anything!

The easiest way to go about this will be to brainstorm a list of words then, on graphpaper or in MS Excel, start putting your words together like a game of Scrabble. When you are done you can then draw boxes around them and think up clues.... then erase the letters and you will be left with a crossword puzzle.

You can send your results via email (scan or create digital) or you can fax your results to 503-296-2202.

-=PRIZE=-
The prize for this month's contest is your choice of the following:
- A Hotchkis lowering spring kit for your Scion model courtesy of www.hotchkistuning.com
- A Tanabe Strut Tower Bar for your tC or xA/xb courtesy of www.tanabe-usa.com
- An AudioFormz fiberglass xB subwoofer enclosure courtesy of www.audioformz.com
- An OEM Scion Red Leather xA/xB Steering wheel courtesy of www.scionevolution.com
- An OEM Scion xB-Plus Security System courtesy of www.scionevolution.com
- A set of OEM xA factory fog lights courtesy of www.scionevolution.com
- A one-year Premium Membership to Scion Life with Prize Pack ($125 value)
- A set of notebook-bound Scion Service Manuals for an xA or xB ($100+ value)
- A notebook-bound Toyota Service Manuals for a 2000 Echo ($100 value)

-=RULES=-
- Images must be of sufficient size to read writing, etc
- YOUR SCION LIFE SCREEN NAME MUST BE INCLUDED ON IT
- You may enter as many times as you wish

-=JUDGING=-
As always I am the sole judge and my decision is final. Live with it.

The contest will end at midnight on May 31st.

This contest is sponsored by:

Any size ideas? Recommended number of words? 10-15? 20-25? Etc?

EDIT: oh ya... do you want the answers on a separate sheet?

Sent a submission via email... let me know if you got it Darren... the admin@scionlife account returned one of my emails before because of some crazy spam error based on the domain (gmail!). Who knows...

Did I mention I have no life? Oh, wait, it's not drinking time yet...

I think the clue should be changed to "The Scion Life Member with the best Chest Hair" or "The Scion Life Member who officially rules." You gotta see the pic to understand.

Man... only two entries so far? Odds are pretty good to this point.

Is anyone else cooking something up?
