Since I [released The Art of Community](https://archivedblog.jonobacon.com/2009/08/19/the-art-of-community-now-available/), one thing has become evident: the people who are buying it are *awesome*. If you have bought it *you* are awesome. If you have *not*, [you too can be awesome](https://www.artofcommunityonline.org/get/).

This got my mind thinking. We should put a face to the names of these *awesome* people. Credit where credit is due to those of you who are supporting a Creative Commons licensed book about building collaborative communities.

So, I have a fun little competition meme. It works like this:

1. Holding your copy of *The Art of Community*, have a picture taken of yourself with it. Really go for gold in the picture: extra points are awarded for outfits, hats, exciting locations and comedy faces.
2. Upload your photo to Flickr (or other fave photo sharing site) with the tag `artofcommunity` and if you use Twitter/identi.ca, use the `#artofcommunity` hashtag.

I will look over all the photos and pick a winner. The winner of the competition will get a special prize. The deadline for the competition is **October 25th**.

Should be a little fun. 🙂
