CRYPTOZOOLOGIST SAYS, `SHOW ME THE YETI!’

PORTLAND, Maine (Wireless Flash) — A cryptozoologist is encouraging people of all ages to submit photos related to Bigfoot, Nessie or Yeti — a.k.a. The Abominable Snowman — to compete for a grand prize of $5,000.

Duel Masters trading card company is sponsoring the contest, offering a total of $9,000 in prizes for photos that successfully maintain the folklore and further the allure of finding the legendary beasts.

Loren Coleman — a famed cryptozoologist and one of the judges of the competition — says they’re not asking for hard proof. He explains, "It might be a picture of a Native American child with an elder pointing something out on a totem pole" or "a creative picture of a full-scale model of Bigfoot."

February 3 is the last day to submit photos, and Coleman is surprised there haven’t been more entries thus far. He marvels, "Five thousand dollars for a first prize…That could equip a good expedition for a week. Or it could be a mortgage."

Photos can be e-mailed to:
DMphotocontest@hunterpr.com

CONTACT: Loren Coleman, ****; Arrange with Joe Moscone; (212) 679-6600, ext. 235

Well, I did say "a mortgage payment," to be exact. 🙂 – Loren

  1. The Toad responds:

    I’m curious. Does it have to be a picture of an actual resemblance to a creature, or, can it be a picture of possible evidence of the creatures presence.

    My reading of those is that either works.
