Zeta is sleepy, and we need a nap. And we want you to tell us what we’re dreaming about!
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to draw one or more members of Zeta shift asleep on set, and what they are dreaming about. Is it their own bed? Is it taking over the world? Is it finally being awake during Alpha Flight? You tell us!
Send your art (Please include your user name somewhere in the file name) to contest@desertbus.org. The subject line MUST include the words Zeta and Dream, and MUST be in .jpg or .png format. This contest will run until 4:30am PST, and the winner will receive one of our Desert Bus For Hope 2019 t-shirt, and a 2019 DBloon!
