The Vampire Diaries TV SeriesTHIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. PLEASE DON’T EMAIL US ENTRIES.

We’ve found ourselves on the receiving end of some amazing fandom love and generosity and we think it’s only right to pass on the good karma. We know a lot of you were unable to make it to San Diego for Comic Con and have been envying some of the Vampire Diaries goodies featured at the Warner Bros. booth. Well, here’s your chance to score some of that sweet schwag – we’re having our very first contest! (Damon is smirking because we’re going to ask you to flex your witty one-liner muscles for this one.)

The Prizes:

  • TWO big winners will each receive a Vampire Diaries Comic Con bag
  • THREE runners-up will each receive a Vampire Diaries poster and button

Here are some (not-so-great) snapshots of the limited edition bags, the button (bit blurry, but you get the idea of the size), and the poster.

The Contest:
Write a caption for this photo of Elena, Stefan, and Matt (click to enlarge).

What is a Caption Competition?
The point of a caption competition is to come up with a snappy (usually funny, sometimes profound) caption based on what springs to mind when looking at a given picture, often based on something that sticks out to the viewer. They’re usually no longer than a couple of sentences, though can be presented in the form of a short conversation between any people who may be in the picture.

Example Caption:
“Matt and Stefan only started to appreciate the depths of Tyler’s evil when they realised that he’d super-glued their hands together.”

The Rules:

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. PLEASE DON’T EMAIL US ENTRIES.

  • One entry per person. One caption per entry. You get one shot!
  • Keep it clean, please.
  • If you use their names in your caption, spell Stefan and Elena correctly – if you don’t, you’re automatically disqualified. NO exceptions.
  • Email your caption entry to contest [at] vampire-diaries [dot] net. Please include the name you would like to be identified by on the website.
  • Deadline: Entries must be received by Friday, August 14th at 11:59 p.m. Western U.S. time. (To find out what time that is in your area, check The World Clock.)

This contest is open internationally. We don’t care if you’re in Poland, Bulgaria, Brazil, Thailand, Israel, etc. – if you live on planet Earth and you win, we will mail the goods to you.

After the deadline:

  • We will narrow the entries down to our 10-15 favorite submissions.
  • We will then post that top 10-15 in a poll on the website (who submitted what will remain anonymous).
  • The readers of Vampire-Diaries.net will vote for their favorite caption.
  • The five entries with the highest number of votes at the end of the voting period will be our winners. The two entries with the most votes will win the Vampire Diaries Comic Con bag, and the three runners-up will win the Vampire Diaries poster/button.
  • Winners will be notified and celebrated on the website!

Contest starts now – have fun! We look forward to seeing what you guys come up with. Again, deadline for entries is Friday, August 14th at 11:59 p.m. Western U.S. time. And please spread the word!

  • http://catherine-haines.com Catherine

    Must. Have. SOMETHING.

    *wants*

    At least I have a week to think…

  • Vall

    I just made a BIG mistake xD
    I chek the world clock, and I tought that I could send it today, so, that means that I’m disqualified right?
    lol i’m so stupid u_u

  • http://www.vampire-diaries.net/ Vee

    No, not at all! :) The deadline is NEXT Friday – you have a whole week to submit your entry. :)

  • Vall

    Oh haha thx so much, I was already hating myself xD

  • Ivy

    I LOVE CONTESTS! yesssssssssssss

  • Ele

    That’s great!
    I hope I’ll be able to write in English correctly >.<

  • http://www.vampire-diaries.net/ Vee

    Try your best! Don’t worry, we’re taking that into account on the entries. :)

  • Miriviel

    Someone mentioned my country! *dies* When I was in the USA (I think it was somewhere in Virginia), one guy asked if Poland was in.. Maine ;p Still, I’m not really good at the caption-thingies (although the price is worth dying for). I’ll try, though. Like Ele, I hope it’ll be in English :PP

  • Reilly

    like a comic book type thing or…a caption describing the photo?

  • http://www.vampire-diaries.net/ Red

    Can be either – whatever your imagination comes up with. The funnier, the better. ;)

  • http://www.vampire-diaries.net/ Vee

    Hurrah, Poland! True fact: If you look at our site stats that rank which countries gives us the most hits, Poland was #7 in July and it’s #4 (behind the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.) so far in August. I’m thinking a certain Paul “Wasilewski” Wesley might have something to do with that. ;) (We get an inordinate amount of hits from Bulgaria, Nina Dobrev’s home country, too.) We’ve tried to give the international fans a lot of love since the start and they MORE than return the favor. I hope you’ll enter!

  • Melanie

    Those bags are HUGE. I can wear mine as a dress!!!!

  • Nilly

    Does the caption have to go with the character? Because my caption kind of insults Elena and it doesn’t sound like something Matt or Stefan would do..

  • http://www.vampire-diaries.net/ Vee

    Just use your imagination!

  • Nilly

    Thanks :)
    but I changed it anyway

  • Janine Vance

    I just entered my caption hope it doesn’t stink, I tried..

  • Vall

    Me again xD
    I have a doubt…I just wanna be sure that I did it ok.
    Here’s an example of what I did…

    Elena: bla bla
    Stefan Bla bla
    Matt: bla bla

    lol is that ok?
    Thx for your time ^^

  • Nilly

    If we win, when do we send our address?
    And we do it by email, right? I don’t want random stalkers showing up at my door.

  • http://www.vampire-diaries.net/ Red
