Vision 2040 Time Capsule
Just as a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the 2010 One Book, One Vancouver choice) provided a wealth of silliness for readers, give future generations a taste of life, the universe and everything from 2010. We want 42 hilarious, ridiculous and/or useless items (things like duster cat slippers or a mechanized egg cracker) to send into the future for the upcoming generation to enjoy. |
Starting on November 1, tell us what item you think should go into the time capsule. If selected, we will ask you to provide your artefact (so be careful what you're suggesting), to the Central Library to be included in our almost-hermetically sealed time capsule that will be opened 30 years from now. So, no perishable items, please!
Have a silly, weird or amusing item from 2010 that should be included in our time capsule? Entry forms can be picked up at any library branch or fill out our online entry form.
PLEASE NOTE: Do NOT submit your item with your entry form. Winners will be contacted by the Library to bring in their items after the contest closes.
Full contest rules and item criteria available here.

Vogon Poetry Contest Are you the best Vogon poet in Vancouver? Does your poetic prose melt paint off walls or cause spontaneous vomiting? Do your sonnets make even the most hardened criminals beg for mercy? Prove it and you will win $100 Canadian Earth Dollars! We are looking for the absolutely worst poems in the universe to be presented slam style at our evening gala on November 29. If selected, you will present your work in the most outlandishly horrible fashion possible to gain the favour of five randomly selected judges. To enter, send your best Vogon poem to programs@vpl.ca. Official Vogon Poetry Slam Rules (and other important info). |
