Full contest rules


When you walk into the WorldCon exhibit hall you will see a 10-foot high paper mache rocket -- visible from nearly everywhere -- erected in tribute by fans of Brewster Rockit, [offsite link] the hysterical space adventure comic strip created by Tim Rickard. Brewster Rockit is an unlikely captain. He's woefully ill-prepared to lead, and that's part of his charm. Orbiting the stars in the space station R.U. Sirius and taking shuttle trips by rocket, Brewster and his crew of misfits encounter a constantly challenging set of interplanetary anomalies, pushing the limits of space, time and humor.

Tim Rickard is an award-winning cartoonist, illustrator and graphic artist. Rickard has worked as a freelance artist and cartoonist for newspapers, books, magazines and Web sites. After writing a popular Star Wars parody, he was inspired to create a comic strip that combined the best elements of space adventure and humor. Tim's humorous illustrations have appeared in numerous popular publications, including Better Homes and Gardens and The Washington Post. The Brewster Rockit [offsite link] comic strip is syndicated by Tribune Media Services. Tim is very excited about the "Name the Rocket" contest at the convention.

Use this web page to enter the contest (see right), or fill out an entry form at the Brewster Rockit exhibit during the convention to win a chance to earn a place in both science-fiction and comic history. The winning name will appear in the Brewster Rockit comic strip and special prizes will be awarded to the winner and two runners-up. The winner will be announced at the convention on exhibit on August 27th. You do not need to be present to win.
