Sinfinis: CONTEST!

CONTEST: Win an original Taro Takizawa print!

Posted on October 5, 2011

This contest is now CLOSED.

Congratulations to superfan NIKKI COKER for demonstrating her astounding knowledge of Sinfinis trivia. (Seriously, we're a little disturbed.) We <3 you, Nikki, and hope you enjoy your new artwork!

M.E. + Kai

You've seen the design on our website. You may have even worn it on a shirt...

Win an original "Purity of Chrysanthemum" print by artist Taro Takizawa!

We have an unframed 5" x 22" lithograph print of this beautiful piece, and we would be oh-so-delighted to give it to one of our supporters. Want it to be you? Here's how:

* Take the quiz below. (Give as much detail as you can, since bonus points are up for grabs in many of the questions.)
* Send your answers in an e-mail message to contest@sinfinis.com, no later than 12am (midnight) TONIGHT (Monday/Tuesday, October 10/11). EXTENDED DEADLINE!
* If you earn the most points, you win the print!

You don't have to be a rabid Sinfinis fan to get these questions right (though that might help you blow through them faster than others); a little internet-savvy research will help you earn plenty of points. Feel free to use whatever resources you can think of - Google, Sinfinis.com, and our Facebook or ReverbNation pages are your friends.

Now...put on yer thinkin' cap (or gloves, or pants, or whatever), start your Sinfinis playlist, turn up the volume, and git to work! We'll have new songs for you on October 15!
