First runner-up gets the tacky but estimable Style Invitational Loser Pen. Honorable Mentions get the mildly sought-after Style Invitational bumper sticker. Winners will be selected on the basis of humor and originality. Entries must be received on or before Monday, June 28. Winners will be announced three weeks from today.
Editors reserve the right to alter entries for taste, humor or appropriateness.
No purchase necessary. No One Heeds was written by David Genser of Arlington. Employees of The Washington Post and members of their immediate families are not eligible for prizes. Many entrants came up with fabulous titles, but failed at creating plausible plot summaries. Also, some entries were very good, but were not, technically, prequels.
