Win a Harley and a trip to Comic Con

10 JUNE 2013


I think this is a contest that hands you a Comic Con badge, but I can't actually tell. Here in Harley-Davidson's own words are what you win:

One Grand Prize: a 2013 Harley-Davidson® Street Bob motorcycle with factory customization up to $15,000 in total retail value; inclusion of your personal likeness in a custom online comic book by Marvel; and  a 2-night trip with airfare and hotel for winner and guest to Comic-Con International in San Diego to see the reveal of the winning entrant’s digital character.

Four First Prizes:  inclusion of the winner’s personal likeness in a custom online comic book by Marvel; a 2-night trip with airfare and hotel for winner and guest to Comic-Con International in San Diego to see the reveal of the winning entrant’s digital character. 


Obviously the bike is the big prize - I get that. But the verbiage makes it sound as if the winners are going to be whisked in and out of the Con to see the "reveal" and that's it. 

The contest itself demands a certain amount of imagination and biker love. As the rules say, "This is not a game of chance."  You have to create a hero, name him or her, write an essay describing the hero, and then choose a bike. You'll also be asked about your riding experience and military background. Entries will be judged based on how well they reflect the following: 

Originality of hero name and story – 40% 
Development of your character as part of the Road Force – 30% 
The values of freedom and independence – 30%

The 20 highest scores will be semifinalists, who then get re-judged by Harley-Davidson marketing executives. 

The deadline is 15 June. You can take a shot at www.h-d.com/ironman .
