The Competition
We want you to make a homage to Hal and photograph yourself holding it. The forum will be making a gorgeous glossy ‘Homage to Hal’ photobook to send to Damien of ALL the competition entries. Each will have their own page, with the winning entry on the front cover.
1. Create a written ‘Homage to Hal’ and take a photograph of yourself holding it. It is up to you how much or little of yourself you hide in the photo, or where you photograph yourself holding it. You do not need to show your face, it could just be your hands holding the homage, as long as you are somehow holding it up in the final photo.
2. Your homage can be a short poem, quote, haiku, song lyric, a random collection words, a thank you, a message, anything that conveys how much Hal inspired you or why you are a fan.
3. Your forum username has to appear in the homage you hold up in your picture
4. Your homage can be handwritten or typed, or you can get creative, as long as your homage is clearly visible once photographed, the word limit is 200.
5. Please keep it appropriate - this is a homage to Damien's work as the character Hal, not a love letter, marriage proposal or thud fest.
Here are 2 great examples from Damien himself:
