I want something totally SFW and humorous.

Here's the scene:

Fireman Sam sitting at a street corner in ragged clothing, begging for money and using his tarnished fireman's helmet to collect the money in.
He has a sign too, explaining why he needs help...
"Out of work due to Norman Price winning a Darwin Award."

Anyone who knows the most recent Fireman Sam series will get the joke. :D

Post a link to your entry as a reply to this journal.

Entries will close on Jan 10th which will be the last day for entries.  I'll make my final decision and award prizes before the end of January.

I'll judge which pictures I like the best, based on quality of the artwork, faithfulness to the character's likeness and over-all humour.

First prize will be 1200Points , second prize 600Points  and third prize 300Points

Inclusion of supporting characters such as other fire station staff is optional.

Changing the wording for the sign is permitted so long as the meaning remains clear.  If you change the wording, its appropriateness and aptness will form part of my judgement.

If insufficient entries of suitable quality are received, I reserve the right to withhold awarding second or third prizes, or to cancel the competition.  I really hope this isn't necessary, but bitter experience means that I have to cover my butt.

EDIT: My watchers are encouraged to share this information and spread it around since I don't have a lot of watchers.
EDIT2: Rendered scenes are also included, so long as the character is recognisable.
EDIT3: Since I don't expect a lot of entries, I'll give everyone who puts forward a decent entry 30Points just for entering.  By decent, I mean something which I can recognise as the character and obviously has some effort put into making it.
EDIT4: I've extended the deadline so that people who are away for Christmas have some chance to enter.
EDIT5: The contest is now closed.  Time for The Judgement Day!
FINAL EDIT:
Since there were only two entries and my judgement is that they're about equal (although for different reasons), and although they're both good, neither is actually what I asked for, I've decided to award no first prize and two second prizes.
Congratulations to :iconlegendarywhisper: and :iconiisamxarts22:.  Your prizes will be arriving close-up (a little Pidgin English there, just for fun). :)  Thank you for entering.
