Announcing the Winners of Planet Weird’s First Annual Tin Foil Hat Challenge!

tin-foil-hat-challenge-winners

You guys are weird. Really weird. The entries for our first annual Tin Foil Hat Challenge were predictably awesome, but we never could have guessed how inventive and artistic your foil creations would get. We loved every single one.

That said, it’s time to choose the winners. Trust us when we say that you guys made this incredibly hard. So hard, in fact, that third place ended up being a four-way tie. We chose our winners based on creativity and originality, not just in the creation of the foil hat itself, but in its presentation.

Grand prize winner gets their very own sliver of the real Amityville Horror house, a glow-in-the-dark Planet Weird t-shirt, and a goodie bag filled with weird swag. First and second runners-up get goodie bags. And you know what? Everyone who participated gets a killer Planet Weird vinyl sticker. You’re all winners in our book.
