Puzzlemaking CONTEST! Beatles Songs

Puzzlemaking CONTEST! Beatles Songs

So, it occurred to me during our last Pirate-themed contest, that what we were all doing, in a sense, was group-designing a Hypercross. So why not actually do that? And make it a kind of competition?

The First Official Tanga Hypercross Clue-Making Contest
Here’s how it works:

• Everyone can submit TWO (2) entries. Two only, please.

• Your entry must be a 400×300 pixel Hypercross clue whose answer is the title of a Beatles song. For the purpose of this contest, your answer must come from this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Beatles_songs
Also, please do not use any of the Girl Songs from this nice little Hyper from Donimo: http://www.tanga.com/crossword_puzzles/201-10-2-2007

• All entries should be Tangagram’d privately to me with the Subject Line BEATLES HYPER. Do not post them here, on this thread… not that you could if you wanted to, as I’ve disabled that feature :)

(how to do this, after you send a TG, you can then go back and EDIT it to add a picture file)

• When I feel I have enough “good” answers, I’ll build the Hypercross and Feature it for all to solve.

DISCLAIMER: Since this will be a Featured Hypercross, “good” will be determined by me and will be entirely subjective. If I get multiple versions of the same answer, I’m gonna choose the clue that I think is the best version. If that eliminates BOTH of your clues, I’ll TG you and give you the chance to create an additional entry.

Determining Winners
In addition to being able to solve this Hypercross when it’s Featured, users will also be asked to VOTE for their THREE (3) favorite clues. All votes will be public – posted in the Comment Field for the puzzle – and are worth ONE (1) point each.

There will be two categories of winning:

1) Favorite Clue, as determined by the solvers
This will be the clue that gets the most points from everyone who DIDN’T enter the contest. People who created clues may not vote for winners in this category.

This winner gets: 300 Tanga Points

2) Favorite Clue, as determined by the entrants
All people whose clues made it into the Hyper will be required to vote for THREE (3) clues, and CANNOT vote for their own clue. Aaron and I will also be voting in this category, mostly to break ties.

This winner gets: 150 Tanga Points

DISCLAIMER: There will likely be a few other “awards” given, but I’m not sure what they are right now, so I reserve the right to figure that out later :) As well as correct anything I may need to as we go along.

Mods are perfectly eligible to enter, by the way.

Okay, I’m sure there will be questions and stuff, but for now… let the contest begin!
