Jackson Free Press

Does the creative spirit in Jackson know no limits? Apparently temperature has nothing to do with it. Last Friday, we were thrilled to see the contest entries rolling in on "Snowmaggedon 2010" when people got out and came up with some extremely creative artistic expressions in the snow. As you'll see in the gallery, everyone got an honorific or two, but we've chosen a handful for actual prizes.

Gallery: 2010 Snowman Competition

Here are the winners:

Gold: Catherine Schmidt - Dragon - $50 Gift Certificate to Fratesi's + 2 movie passes (Malco or Regal, your choice)
Silver: Miss Texan - Large Snowman - $25 Gift Certificate to Cool Al's + 2 movie passes
Bronze: Jordan Rae Jones - Snow Turtle - $20 Gift to Alumni House + 2 movie passes

Honorable Mentions (Two movie passes each):

Ginger Williams - Francis - Best Composite of Jackson Bar Owners
Thomas Broadus - Broadus Family- Best Use of Girl Scout Cookies
Will Bardwell - Uncle Bill's Snow Day - Most Laid Back Snowman
Zoe Hairston - "Friends" - Most Personality on a Snowman
MetroJEM - "YMCA" - Best Integration of a Snowman into a Group Cheer

If you're a winner and haven't heard from us yet (we'll send this out via Twitter and Facebook as well) then get in touch with us by {encode="[email protected]" title="emailing your info"} and letting us know where to send your prize (or you can stop by the JFP office in Fondren).

Also, shoutout to Matt Hillman for this video:

Thanks to everyone who participated!

The bottom of our snowman at work hasn't quite melted yet. But then again, it's in the shade and hasn't had all the exposure to the sun. In fact, there is also some left-over snow in our bushes.
