I’ve arrived at the pinnacle of vanity, and now, as a rite of passage, I must hold a profile picture competition. I’ve had some pretty sweet profile pictures in the past, if I do say so myself (and I think I just did.) I know you’ve all been hording pictures of Josh Hansen for ages; now it’s time to dust off the photo albums, get those pages from your scrapbook, and scour your computer for the best of the best.

Josh Hansen Profile Picture Mega-Competition 2008!

Which, of course, was not anticipated by anybody, ever!

The idea: Gather up your photos of me, use your imagination, photoshop, oil paints, whatever—and crank out the awesomest picture for Josh Hansen to use on his Facebook profile.

The rules:

1. Your submission must somehow use a picture of me (Josh Hansen) or some recognizable reproduction thereof (drawings, sculptures, sock puppets, etc.) and must be usable as a profile picture on Facebook.
2. It mustn’t be offensive, according to me.
3. I have to like it. (In case that wasn’t already obvious.)

Submissions: Email images to me. If you don’t know my email address or how to get it, then you probably shouldn’t be entering 😉

Deadline: February 29th at 11:59:59 pm.

THE PRIZE: A box of brownie mix with a bow on it. I’m too lazy to cook the brownies for you, sorry. But this way you can have brownies whenever you want!

For those of you who have made it this far, it’s worth observing the disproportionate number of photos in which I am wearing some kind of vest. Interesting….
