NO PURCHASE NECESSARY.
This is your chance to write a caption for a cartoon image drawn by a well known professional cartoonist. CartoonStock will post a cartoon on its site. Each new cartoon is a new Contest. You submit the caption and our staff judges it to select the winner.
Each Contest opens every other week on Tuesday at 11:55 P.M. EST when a new caption-less cartoon is posted and each Contest ends on the Tuesday night 14 days later at 11:55 P.M. EST.
To Enter. To enter simply visit cartoonstock.com/blog and fill out the entry form on the Web Link with your caption. Fill in your caption, email address and name. You may enter up to 3 times.

By entering the Contest, entrants grant the Sponsor a non-exclusive, irrevocable license without compensation to reproduce, publish and use their caption entry, regardless of whether it is the winning entry or not, throughout the world in any form, media or format.
- Selection of the Winners. Every contest the judges will select one winner from the entries for the preceding contest. Sponsor may use crowdsourcing and other techniques to winnow the entries to the best ones. The final decision will be made by the judges selected by the Sponsor. Captions will be evaluated according to their humor, originality, creativity and appropriateness. The judges’ decision is final in all matters related to the Contest. In the event of noncompliance with the Official Rules and requirements by the person selected as the winner, the prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner will be selected from the remaining eligible entries.
