100% of this post's author rewards will be added to the contest prize pool - I will match the SP portion with liquid Steem

Come one, come all,

come ye denizens and delirious citizens of the Steem blockchain! Step right up to my circus tent and observe the strange, the maleficent, the dreaded deranged snowmen!

Contest Runs Through December

If you want to participate in this depraved debauchery, just put your thinking caps on and come up with some creative way to express the theme of a deranged snowman.

It doesn't have to be made out of snow

(see digital art and paper art entries below), it doesn't have to be a physical object (see poetry and short story entries below), it doesn't have to be a man (see snow octopus entry below) but it for damn sure has to be DERANGED, strange, curious, weird or otherwise unusual.

The weirder, the better

is pretty much the motto that I have lived my life by, why change now?!?

#DerangedSnowman Contest Rules

Create a deranged snowman and make a post about it! (deranged, weird, curious and otherwise unusual snow people accepted as valid entries)
The "snowman" does NOT have to be made of snow! (see below)
Use the hashtag #derangedsnowman
Use the #creativecoin tag to earn extra rewards on your post as some big Creative Coin tribe whales will be curating the entries :) (this is not required to enter the contest, but you would be smart to do so!)
Share your post on external social media using hashtags #derangedsnowman and #steemblockchain to win extra Steem!
Resteeming the contest post is NOT required to participate, but would be greatly appreciated to get the word out!
Contest will run through December with winners announced in January

The "snowman" does NOT have to be made out of snow!

Bonus points / tiebreaker edge given to entries that are honest-to-goodness snow creations, but given that many of you won't have access to snow any creative medium will be accepted. Grab your silly putty, modeling clay, chewed bubble gum, Legos, wet sand, etc., and make a deranged snowman! Grab your guitar and write a song about a deranged snowman! Grab your pencil or pen and make a deranged snowman drawing! Make a short film about a deranged snowman (please please)! You get the (snow) drift!
