Kids' Contest for Children 10 and under
(October – December each year, see below)

Tyrannoclaus is my prehistoric Santa and he loves to receive letters from little dinosaur boys and girls!

Write a letter to Tyrannoclaus, pretending you are a dinosaur (you pick what kind you want to be!), and tell him:

• How you have been a good dinosaur boy or girl over the last year, and
• What you hope he will bring you for Christmas, and, if you want to write more,
• A little bit about your dinosaur family, your prehistoric home, and your dinosaur friends.

Before you begin, get permission from your parent or guardian to enter the contest. Then, get busy with paper, pencil, and a good imagination! Send your letter to:

Tyrannoclaus
c/o Janet Lawler
P.O. Box 305
Farmington, CT 06032

If you wish to submit via e-mail, ask your parent or guardian if you may do so. Be sure to place in subject line “Letter to Tyrannoclaus” and e-mail me at: J.Lawler@snet.net.

You must include the following information, whether you submit by regular or e-mail:

• Your full name and address
• Your age
• A parent or guardian’s full name, e-mail address, and phone number

For the 10 weeks leading up to Christmas, I will select a winning letter. I will be looking for letters that are full of imagination, the holiday spirit, and dinosaur fun.

The names of winners and their letters will be posted on my website and given to local media only after I have permission from a parent/guardian to release them. Winners will receive a free autographed copy of my book, Tyrannoclaus.

All contest letter/entries shall be considered my copyrighted property and will not be returned. Letters/entries may be edited for length, spelling, grammar, and comprehension, as appropriate.
