The map of the world craziest signages and our first TYPO London contest winner

At every TYPO conference we set up a competition to enable people to win tickets to each event. For TYPO London “Places” we have thought of something truly special. The more observant among us are sometimes confronted with irritating signs that are actually meant to help us get around, but don’t! Giving us the strangest sense of “Place” you could imagine. Sometimes they are funny themselves, sometimes they are just plain odd due to their environment and surroundings.

Our TYPO London contest celebrates just that: images of the most absurd, weirdest, most intricate overworked and funniest signs.

For the last week, people have been sending their pictures via email or phone to places@typolondon.com. Here are some of the funniest pictures we have already received (watch all last weeks entries):

We’re using this world map to store the amusing stories of our travels and holidays.

From now until the conference, we are giving away ONE ticket to TYPO London 2011 every week! And so that you can’t say, we don’t have no taste – the random generator will decide who has won.

And our random generator did decide for the first time – chosing out of 128 pictures that we received last week. Our first contest winner is Silvia Baz with her entry “way out only in emergency” – who is hopefully not (still) stuck in this underground station. Congrats Silvia!

If you want to win a TYPO London ticket, just email your pictures to places@typolondon.com (the name of the picture goes into the subject area, the location into the content area of your email). You will be sent a password functioning as the password for your MyTYPO-Login, which you will need for uploading, editing or deleting your contest entries, and later on for viewing your myTYPO-programme.

New week – new game!
