Send us a tacky postcard. You might win THIS.

This is my watch. The Archive staff pooled their money and bought it for me 56 days after the site's debut, to celebrate our 100,000th visitor. Now we've had many millions, but I still wear it with pride, and I can truthfully say that it´s the tackiest watch I´ve ever owned. And if you´re one of our lucky winners, you can have one just like it!

I was so impressed by this magnificent find that we raided the petty cash box and bought out the store´s remaining stock. All three of them. You can´t have mine, but you can win one of the other three if you submit a card that´s selected as our Tackiest Card of the Month.

This fine example of Japanese craftsmanship is a 200-yen value. Stainless steel back says it´s water-resistant, but I wouldn´t count on it. Non-luminous dial is guaranteed not to glow in the dark. Genuine plastic wristband comes in two colors -- Pustule Yellow and Migraine Orange (winner gets whichever one is left). Matching bezel actually rotates on some of them. The hands don´t. (Batteries not included.)

Here´s how to enter:

1. Read the Submission Guidelines page to find out what kinds of cards are eligible and how to send them.
    
2. Find a suitably tacky card and send it to us, or a scan made to our specs. There´s no limit on entries; you can send as many as you like.
    
3. All entries must include your name and e-mail address. Enclose a self-addressed and stamped envelope if you want your cards back. Archive employees and most of the people they know are ineligible. Judges´ decisions are questionable, but irrevocable.

Special bonus:

If your entry is postmarked (or even if it isn´t) you could receive a special bonus in addition to this stupendously tacky watch. Until our supply of three watches runs out, winners will be given a 7-day ALL EXPENSES-PAID attribution on the world-famous Tacky Postcard Archive, where they'll enjoy the derision of all their friends as their names are snickered at by thousands of visitors daily! (A several-dollar value, based on double occupancy. Some restrictions apply.)
