Contests aren't new over at Custom Toy Union, but they do like to up the ante and try new things! They have teamed with Ardabus Rubber to bring you a fun and new contest that requires you to take photos of double images for a chance to win some handpainted artwork from Ardabus Rubber himself. Ever see Mother Mary in toast or Brian Boitano in a snow drift? Take a photo and put it to good use!

There are several prizes up for grabs including both custom toys and paintings, so it's definitely worth your while to get your photos in for the contest! The only requirements are that you have a camera and that you are a CTU member (which is free and easy to do!)

To see more information about the contest head on over to the contest post at CTU or hit the jump!

Deadline for all entries: MONDAY, APRIL 5th, 2010 at 10pm PST

REQUIREMENTS:
-Camera
-must be a CTU member (It's FREE and anyone can join!)
-Facebook (optional)

CONTEST DETAILS:
Find a double image somewhere in the world around you, take a picture of it, and upload it here!
I will post example images in this thread if anyone is confused.

The entries will be judged out of a possible 100 points:
ORIGINALITY: 40 points - if you take a picture of a bacon and eggs smiley face, you will not get very many points in this category.
CREATIVITY: 30 points - the stranger and more creative the image, the more points you'll get.
COMPLEXITY: 30 points - the more complex and involved the image, the more points you'll get.

BONUS: 10 points for active forum members. THIS IS INSTEAD OF HAVING A REQUIRED NUMBER OF POSTS TO ENTER THE CONTEST. We don't want a flood of threads just to get someones post count up, so this is a good incentive to actually use the forums for discussion.

You can submit as many photos as you'd like, but only ONE ENTRY will be judged.

All the entries will be posted on the CTU facebook page for everyone to view for the duration of the contest, and then they will be moved to http://www.ardabusrubber.com. Winners will be picked on April 6th and announced later that day.

Have fun! Explore the world around you... open your eyes and your mind... maybe you will see things you never expected in the strangest of places!
