FML’s Xmas COMPETITION

Find the 10 FMLs that were published in the fmylife book by hunting for them amongst the website’s pages, and win one of the fmylife books up for grabs.

Before explaining the rules, your mouse can already start hating us because it’s going to have to go into overdrive. Quotes from the book’s FMLs are hidden in the pages of Fmylife, and you’re going to have to find them.

How to enter the competition

Step 1: Sign up on FML and log in. This is mandatory if you want to take part in the competition. Click here to create an account. Everyone can enter the competition. No matter where you live or how old you are.
Step 2: Find the link called "FML Competition" in your member's panel on the right hand side of the site.
Step 3: Click on it (yeah OK, seems obvious, but you never know with some people).
Step 4: Follow the instructions to start the hunt. None of the members will have the quotes in the same place. To find them, use the page numbers at the bottom of the home page and… click away (and you can then start hating us). The quotes will only be in the website’s archives, nowhere else. There’s thus no point going into the Top, the Flop, the Random FMLs… All you have to do is go and look in the previous pages. Once you’ve found one of the texts, a link will allow you to update your participation.

This is how a hidden quote will look like (the size has been reduced a little voluntarily):

On the 20th of december at midnight, the competition will end. All the people who’ve found the 10 quotes will then be part of a draw, which will select the 20 winners, who will get a copy of the book. The results will be announced on the 21st. Good luck, and happy clicking to all!

The results are in

The “pull your nuttiest face” competition ended a couple of days ago, and we have to admit that we had a great time validating all of your photos. 122 confirmed participants fighting over an iPod, personalized FML books, Spreadshirt t-shirts and M&M’s, you have to admit that this is quite unheard of! All the votes are now in, and except for a few sneaky people who tried to cheat and were eradicated with a nuclear powered grenade launcher, everything went smoothly.

   

Here are the prizes, as well as examples of the personalized edition and t-shirts.

Before giving out the results, we’d like to thank our two partners, Random House who as a matter of fact have just launched the personalized edition of the FMyLife book, as well as Spreadshirt for the tee-shirts that you can order 24/7 in our shop.

Pull your nuttiest face! New rules!

Let your ugly mug do the talking and you'll be able to take part in FMyLife's first photo competition, and win some really fun prizes.

Due to popular demand from a lot of you wonderful people, the competition is now open to people from all over the world, with easier rules.
All you need to do is get a picture taken of you with the FMyLife book* (you can print a picture of the book cover, no need to buy the book to take part in the contest, but no Photoshop or other magic tricks, you must be holding the book cover). However, the thing you must do is pull the nuttiest face possible, the craziest face you can muster in the situation of your choice. Your photo will be published on the website (http://www.fmylife.com/contest/book), and the other users will vote for it (or not!). Go nuts in the picture, have loads of fun!

We've taken some ourselves, to give some examples, all the while telling you that to win, you'll have to do way better, the crazier the situation, set up and picture quality, the better your chances!



The competition will last for 28 days, from the 21st of June to the 23rd of July. You thus have until the 16th of July to upload your picture, so get cracking straight away.

Your photo will be displayed on the website for 7 days, so that all the uploaded photos get the same chances to be voted for. Once the 7 days are up, the photo will stay displayed on the competition page, but you won't be able to vote on it, to guarantee equal chances to all.

You can win some amazing stuff (thanks to Spreadshirt and Villard):

  • 1st prize, a yellow nano-chromatic iPod with a special engraving just for you: "Today, I won a contest and all I got is this iPod. FML"
  • From the 2nd to the 10th prize: a special edition of the FML book with your photo printed inside (or a picture of your choice)
  • From the 11th to the 20th prize: an FML t-shirt saying "Today, I didn’t win the iPod in the FML competition, just this t-shirt. FML" or another text of your choice.
  • From the 21st to the 30th prize: a packet of M&M's containing only yellow M&M's, with FML written on them (which is pretty classy).

Make your ugly mug do the talking and you'll be able to take part in FMyLife's first photo competition, and win fun prizes.
 
All you need to do is go into a bookstore, any bookstore, get a picture taken of you and someone who works in the bookstore, with the book (no need to buy the book to take part in the contest). However, the thing you must have to do, is make the nuttiest face possible, pull the craziest face you can. Your photo will be published on the website (http://www.fmylife.com/contest/book), and the other users will vote for it (or not!). Go nuts in the picture, have loads of fun!

We've taken some ourselves, to give some examples, all the while telling you that to win, you'll have to do way better.

The competition will last for 32 days, from the 17th of june to the 19th of july. You thus have until the 12th of july to upload your picture, so get cracking straight away.
