TR Contest: Memos from Themyscira Industries
 |
?I was all set to run this contest when the Wonder Woman show premiered on NBC, but given today’s news, there doesn’t seem to be any reason to wait. Plus, the best contest on TR is still arguably the results of the Memos from Batman Inc. contest, I’ve been genuinely excited about this contest idea for a while. Might as well do it now, right?
In the (utterly failed) Wonder Woman pilot, Diana Prince was going to be the CEO of Themyscira Industries, a company which would do… god knows what, other than make Wonder Woman toys. Your job: Think of memos that Wonder Woman/Diana Prince would send to her employees. Now, this might be a bit more difficult than the Batman Inc. one, because Batman had employees who were all potential Batmen, while WW would send memos to… the Wonder Woman product manager? The HR department? The people who take care of her invisible jet? Whatever. Your call.
So that’s it. One entry per person. The more memo-like it is, the more bonus points you get (like to/from, subject line, etc.). The contest ends at 12:01 am EST on Monday, May 16th, 2011. I’m looking forward to whickering at all your entries! Then beating myself to death for using the word whickered!
