New Year’s Resolutions — Public Speakers
A good New Year’s resolution would be to enter our Cartoon Caption and Joke Contests every month. It’s a great way to sharpen your humor creativity.
Over the past three years, over 1000 people have participated in our contests. Seventy-five of them have placed first, second or third…and they represent 11 countries:
Australia
Canada
India
Italy
Kuwait
New Zealand
Philippines
Portugal
Malaysia
United Kingdom
USA
A dozen people have been in the top three…three or more times. They are:
Gary Bachman
Andy Dolphin
Paula Frederick
Les Harden
Brian Hinton
Nancy Lininger
Sol Morrison
Arun Ramkumar
Jim Spero
S Frank Stringham
Cindy Tebo
Ken VanDrese
Our top contest winner is Les Harden of Australia. He enters regularly. And he understands that quality comes with numbers. One month we had over 800 entries…and over 200 of them were from Les!
So how about YOU committing to writing some winning captions and jokes? It’ll sharpen your humor skills and make you a better speaker!

” LES IS MORE THAN ENOUGH ! ”
No Wonder Mr. Harden wins so many of your Contests ! Imagine,
Two- hundred entries ! I think you should put a LIMIT on the
Total Number of Entries Accepted from Any ONE Entrant, John.
I think you should bring the Total Number of Entries down to a Reasonable and Fair Number. How about NO More than the Total Number of Entries That I usually Submit : One Hundred, Seventy-Five — Tops !
I know ya’ ain’t gotta’ lot to do down there in Australia, Les;
but Try to Get Down Under 200 Submissions, will ya’, Mate ?”
