Hobbes' 5K Follower Giveaway

To celebrate reaching 5000 followers on Instagram, we're doing something a little special in memory of Hobbes. Below is a fun quiz about Hobbes, his personality and his life.

Answer as many questions as you can (and guess on the ones you're not sure of!) The first person to get them all right - or the most correct at the end of the competition period - will win a special limited edition fine art print of Hobbes from the very talented Australian artist, Helen Grey. She did this custom piece for us in memory of Hobbes after he passed away in April, and it's such a beautiful gift that captures his beauty and essence down to every little spot, bump and claw. No photos can do her work justice, and the print you will receive is valued at around $65USD (including shipping).

Entries are open to everybody! But please remember that the prize is for a real-life, physical piece of art; I will be in touch with the winner to get their address so I can send it to them. If you are underage, please get permission from your parents or guardians before joining this giveaway, to ensure they're aware your address will be required and you are free to give it. (Address will remain private and will only be used by myself and Helen to send the print to the winner.)

If you don't know much about Hobbes, that's okay. Try anyway! You never know how many other people have entered, and the artwork is still beautiful leopard gecko art that you can keep and enjoy!

Entries close October 14th. Winner will be contacted via Instagram DM and/or email and announced on our IG page on October 15th.

 


(Some Common) FAQs

Who can enter? Anybody! Just make sure you can give me an address to send the print to, if you win. If you cannot provide an address within a reasonable amount of time, the next person in line will be contacted.

How much time do I have? Until October 14th - but be aware that the first person who answers all questions correctly the fastest (or give the most correct answers at the end) will win. So there's a little time pressure to get as many right answers as soon as possible.

How many times can I answer? As many as you want! The most correct answers at the end of the period will win, so if you change your mind or learn something new, come back and try again! (But I'm not confirming nor denying your answers are right. Everything asked here is found on Hobbes' Instagram.)

How is the winner determined? Every quiz you submit is saved in the database, with a correct/incorrect score saved, as well as the time the quiz was sent. The first person to get 14/14 right will win. If that doesn't happen, the first person to get the most answers correct will win. Also, if you do multiple quizzes, I won't collate all of your correct answers to get a total amount of "rightness". So no answering A on one quiz, B on the second, C on the third and expecting to win. I'm looking at hard numbers on individual quizzes, so please answer to the best of your ability each time!

When will the winner be announced/contacted? October 15th! Keep your eyes on your Instagram DMs, or your email, if you provided it.
