Contests

We love contests! Here are the ones we are running right now.

The Hidden Items

Okay, our editor thinks its really fun to hide things in the magazine and then give a prize to one of the people who finds it. Weird? Yes. But sometimes the prizes are pretty good.

In our Jul/Aug issue on Medieval Times, find a tiny version of this coin and you could win a real coin from 13th century Spain! Enter here.

Don’t forget about the Comic Captions! Take a look at the latest photo on page 30 and think of a caption. The funnier, the better! The funniest will be published and all entrants will have a chance to win a t-shirt and book prize. Enter here.

Brain Bumpers

Help up keep Professor Pangolin busy! Send him your hardest science questions. If we publish your question, you win! Submit your questions here.

Find the Critters

Okay, this isn't really a contest, more like a challenge. These five critters are hidden in every issue of YES Mag. It seems not many can find all five. Can you? If you do, let us know where they are: letters@yesmag.ca.
