Restructure of Slogan incentives��

Due to the downward trend of our slogan contributions, the club has put up as an incentive a signed jumper for the poster with the most winning slogans for the season�

In view of this and to make it fair to all our Leaders at the moment (Buckisgod and Jock McPie) have agreed to assign their prize of - being on the ground with the Banner - to a proxy, but it will only be someone who has submitted a slogan in the relevant Round�

This means that any person who submits a slogan which is chosen by the club will:

1. Go on the leaderboard for a chance to win the signed jumper..
2. Will go on the ground with the Banner..
3. If won more than twice, or is unable to attend a proxy will be chosen from contributors of the round in question�(the proxy however does not go on the leaderboard for the jumper)�

If you have any questions please let me know..

today, i noticed on the hawthorn banner they used the design of a 13 year old's and even put her name on the banner. it was a caricature of a young girl with arms wide open and the words" 'i love hawthorn this much'.

how often do we use slogans [and pictures] that are not the 4x20 characters?

i think if we allowed a little more scope for creativity then we might get a few more involved.

Not often if ever... I cant remember slogans with just pictures.... unless they were ads... I'll ask the club and see how we go.... the thing is then ppl will only submit two lines and then what do we do? if they submitted what they wanted maybe it could work... also to have the caricatures... they are
abt 700 bucks each from memory... as the club pays for that it would have to be something really worthy... I dont think u guys know how much a banner is worth... u would get a shock if only u knew..... We have to put a lot of things in consideration especially money when a banner is made.... But yes a little more creativity would be good....

^ keep educating frankie so we can better understand why things can and can not happen. anyway, just throwing up ideas so the younger ones can get involved more.
