The World Famous* Hero Pin Photography Competition
Tomorrow is the second birthday of the Hero Workshop blog, so I’ve decided to have a competition to celebrate. I know you’ve always wanted a Hero Workshop t-shirt so I’ll be giving three away as prizes. It’s a very easy competition to enter; all you need to do is take a photo. The photo needs to contain one of my Hero In Waiting pins that are handed out at Hero Workshops. If you don’t have one, email me with your name and address, and I will send one to you. Once you take the photo you can email it to me or add it to your Flickr page with the tags “heroinwaiting” and “hero workshop“.
- Get your Hero In Waiting pin.
- Take a great photo.
- Show it to me – email or Flickr.
- Repeat 2-3 as often as you want. That’s right, enter as often as you like.
The competition starts now and ends November 1st (to allow Halloween photos). On November 2nd I’ll post the ten finalists (as decided by me) to the blog and you will be able to vote for the winners in the comments. Photos will be judged on originality, humour, style, and location.
Each week I’ll post a new photo to the blog to show you what you’re up against, starting with one of mine today.
* People in other countries know about it… ;o)

Matt, how do I get a “hero pin”?
As stated above: “If you don’t have one, email me with your name and address, and I will send one to you.”
Are pawns supposed to be the heroes and if so, are heroes really supposed to be the ones that die the fastest while accomplishing the least? Reminds me of Leroy Jenkins in the WoW spoof. Perhaps there are other aspects of heroism we could encourage
Adrian, there wasn’t supposed to be any symbolism in the photo. Looks like I’ll have to be more careful about what I’m putting in the future photos.
Depends on how you want to see the glass, half-full or half empty. In the right situation it can be a pawn that puts the opposing king in checkmate. They are the most numerous pieces on the board and the least valuable and yet they are the only piece that can be promoted. So maybe the point is that even the lowliest piece can step up to the challenge if you’re willing to risk the sacrifice.

May I please interpret “email me” as “leave a comment below?”
Please??!?
