We're now in the home stretch of the Reinvent BookMan contest! We're looking for the most inspired, creative, and all 'round jaw-dropping reinvention of our beloved mascot, BookMan, and we're willing to hand out an equally awe-inspiring prize for the best of the bunch. (READ THE PRESS RELEASE.)

Contest judges include Bob, Bookmans' founder, and Max Cannon, mastermind by cult favorite comic Red Meat.

One GRAND PRIZE WINNER will receive:

• Two 4-day membership passes - one for you and one for a friend/parent/guardian/significant other - for Comic-Con International 2008 in San Diego, CA, July 23 - 27. This includes access to Preview Night on Wednesday, July 23, where you'll peruse your way through the Exhibit Hall before the event opens to the public on Thursday. You'll also score the all-important Events Guide early so you can get a jump on scheduling your weekend.
• Round-trip airfare from Arizona to San Diego (or comparable flight vouchers).
• Hotel accommodations for five days and four nights in San Diego with transportation allowance.
  
• A special feature on bookmans.com and in the Bookmans newsletter!
• Goodies and other on-site perks to be announced later!

In addition, three runners-up will receive $100 BOOKMANS GIFT CERTIFICATES for use at any Bookmans location. ALL submitted entries will be forever enshrined in the Bookmans Flickr gallery and on bookmans.com with their respective origin stories.

Good luck!
