1st Ever hapa bento Contest!
I hope this isn’t too corny of an idea. I’ll be gone and without bento boxes to post we need to somehow continue our entertainment. Right? So without further delay here it is.
Small print first:
1. Friends, Family and Coworkers can participate but cannot win. You’ll read why in a bit.
2. Multiple entries are fine. The more you enter the better the chance of winning.
3. Let’s keep it fun.
Contest Description:
1. Post a link to your bento photo in the comments below. This must be a bento that YOU created recently. No grabbing cute bento pics from the World Wide Web.
2. There are no rules for the type of bento. The winner will be selected randomly.
3. Here’s the fun part. Along with your photo link, you must email me hapabento@yahoo.com with the name of the place I’m headed for my vacation. (hence, no family, friends, etc. you guys know where I’m going)
4. The contest ends at Midnight PDT, Sept. 26, 2009.
5. At that time I will round up all the correct answers and corresponding photos then randomly select by “robotic arm” the winning entry. The winner will be notified by email and posted here.
6. Here’s the prize, which I will mail to the winner anywhere in the world.
- 1 single tier bento box with 4 colored lift out sections.
I’ve left many clues to my destination on this blog, twitter, Foodbuzz, my facebook page and I will be posting more hints later.
The contest starts now. Ask any questions (except where I’m going ) in the comments below.
Thanks and have fun!
- 1 bitter and milk, Yamanaka 2 tiered box with band and bag.
- picks,star shaped cutters, furikake containers, squeeze bottles, cups and partitions
Hello Ms. Fish On A Bicycle! I didn't know you were having a contest and that is not why I added your site to my page, but I like your prize (I am new to bento boxing), so I'm going to play. So watch out contenders! I like to win!!!
haha reality bento boxing. either you're in or you're out.
Hi Judy, That's the spirit!
Hi hapa bento!
Here is my bento entry — a happy face one I made for my son!
I can't figure out how to leave a nice pretty link like Sherimiya did, the a href tag gets rejected. I feel like a blogger newb now! But my bento is posted at:

Hi MandLMom- Here you go! what a super cute bento
Keep them coming!
Oh, I have a question. Do you want as Location a country, or is that not enough and you want the city? =)
hello bento friends! good luck to everyone! here is my bento: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gamene/3937991837/
enjoy!
Hi Lil'chan-Good Point! I did not define "location" in my contest rules. To answer your question, it's a City!
Hi~
Here is a picture of a bento I made last week.
I have to make a new guess, so here is a new Bento link. This is kidlet's lunch for today.

I hope I am doing this correctly. My bent can be found at my blogspot. I would love a chance to win some more supplies.

Hmm… I have a new question.^^ You said we can't ask for the location you went to. But I surely can ask in which direction, from your hometown, you are traveled?
here is my bento for tomorrow's lunch, representing tonight's guess! hope you all are having fun in this contest…

good morning bento pals! here's today's entry (kind of sloppy, please forgive me!): messy thai bento
but at least i finally figured out how to do a hyperlink, haha!
thanks again to debra for putting this contest together – it's been so much fun looking at all of your bentos.

Argh, I still can't figure out the hyperlink all the way. When I try to turn it into text instead of the address it yells at me!
