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, Nov. 23. Winners will be announced three weeks from today.
Editors reserve the right to alter entries for taste, humor or appropriateness.
