Man. When Muppet fans enter a contest, they enter a contest!
A couple weeks ago, we put out a call for entries asking you to make a meme centered around Bert and/or Ernie. Five of our favorites will win free copies of the new book “The Importance of Being Ernie (and Bert)”. Everyone who entered will get a free, rare Sesame Street pin! You can’t lose!
We were pleased to receive over 60 entries! That’s a LOT of pins! And a whole lot of memes. I didn’t even know there were 60 memes.
So without further ado, here are our five lucky winners:
by Sebastiano Ricci
by Avrumi Weinberger
by Casey Daron
by Connor Burke
by Gabriel Gatica
Let’s give those five talented folks a hand! (It’s your choice if the hand is live or rod.) Choosing the winners was particularly difficult since there were so many amazing entries, so here are just a few of our assorted runner-up favorites:
by Cameron Garrity
by Chris “Smig” Smigliano
by Emily Quick
by Eric Pahl
by Erica Crooks
by Gavin Borchardt
by Harry Emas
by Jerry Harney
by Lucas Ross
by Noel Schornhorst
Now let’s give THOSE Muppet fans a hand! Did I mention how impressed I was by everyone’s creativity and hard work? Because I totally am.
Below, you’ll find the rest of the contest entries. These were all fantastic too, but much like Ma and Emmet Otter five minutes before their movie ended, they were just missing, well, something a little special.
