THE PHISH COMPANION PHOTO CONTEST!

Hey, guys, happy summer! It’s me, The Book, writing from 14,420 feet above sea level.



My good friend and Mockingbird Foundation board member Elayne sherpa’d me up here in her backpack, and I can’t think of a better place to shout the news about phish.net’s exciting new contest...

Details below, but first, here’s Elayne and me making out high atop Mount Harvard. Meow.

And here’s a lovely view of heaven, oxygen-starved as it may be.

Inspired? Good. Because now it’s your turn!

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to take a photo of me, The Phish Companion, in a setting and pose of your choice. Post it on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, with the hashtag #ReadTheBook, by Friday, August 19th. You'll want to make sure your post is set to "public" so that the whole world (including the judges from phish.net) can see me in all my glory!

I love to go to famous places. I love to be seen with important people. Dress me up, take me out, get me buck naked, feed me grapes — it’s all fair game! All you need is a smart phone, your imagination, and a copy of me, The Phish Companion.

Don't have one yet? No sweat! There's plenty of time to enter the contest and you can get one here right this very second.

On Friday, August 26th, I’ll announce three winners, whose pics will be published in this space along with some honorable mentions.

Those three winners will be awarded with their choice of these three phenomenal Phish posters:

Isadora Bullock’s “Out of Control” is a hand-crafted linoleum cut print in a signed and numbered edition of 150. Introduced at the recent PhanArt show in Chicago, this is the first print from Isadora's new press, and her first print for The Mockingbird Foundation.

Zeb Love’s spectacular new print, “Sunrise Over the Turquoise Mountains” celebrates the release of The Phish Companion. “Sunrise” is a screen print, in a signed and numbered edition of 175.

And just in time for the election season, artist and printmaker Brian Bojo’s “How About a Goldfish?” answers its own question with a resounding NOPE! This three-color screenprint is a signed and numbered edition of 150, and sold out upon its release in April.

Important fine print alert: By submitting your photos to phish.net in accordance with this contest, you are granting phish.net and The Mockingbird Foundation rights to its unlimited use, including but not limited to use in promotional and marketing materials.

What are you waiting for, shutterbug? Good luck!

If you liked this blog post, one way you could "like" it is to make a donation to The Mockingbird Foundation, the sponsor of Phish.net. Support music education for children, and you just might change the world.

ElCaballo Does it have to be the most current version of the Phish Companion?

jackl Yes, silly! This is a promotion for our current book. While we appreciate your past patronage, we hope you will check out and buy the new book. Being self published, cost was no object and we didn't scrimp to make this a beautiful book with poster artists and photographers contributing more than 100 color pages. The written content, organizing Phush on a giant 30 year timeline, offers keen insights about the development of Phish and its music from dozens of fan contributors who are super talented writers as well.

Read the book! You'll agree that the Third Edition is light years ahead of the earlier books in organization, content, design, photography and overall execution and attention to detail. Right down to the purple ribbon bookmark and the shipping carton.
