Be Cool with a Polaris Bundle (Contest)

Ahoy!

I don't know if it's the heat or what, but I am in a Polaris mood lately!  Can ya'll tell?  So let's take an imaginary adventure to Polaris to stay cool! And what better way to stay cool on our imaginary trip than going with the new Pennyfarthing mount and Black Rain Shades!  Here is your chance to win these awesome items, plus some crowns as well!  Here is what you have to do:

• Create a Polaris themed bundle (similar to the Cutthroat, Admiral and Boochbeard bundles. Not a hoard pack.) Tell me what items will be included, and what they will look like.  Will your bundle include a house, ship or both? A cool companion or pet? What about gear? And how much will it cost?  Be as creative and detailed as possible! Graphics aren't required, but are always welcome.
• Once you create your bundle, email it to secretsofthespiral@hotmail.com.  Please include your pirate's name in the email and put "Polaris Bundle Contest" in the subject line.
• Please make sure all entries are family friendly!
• This contest will end Friday, July 12, 2013 at 12:00pm Eastern.
• If you are under 13 years old, please make sure you have your parent/guardian's permission before entering.

The winners will be announced no later than Monday, July 15, 2013.  The prizes will be as follows:

• Grand Prize - Permanent Pennyfarthing Mount, Black Rain Shades, and 10,000 crowns
• First Prize - Permanent Pennyfarthing Mount, Black Rain Shades, and 5,000 crowns
• Second Prize - Permanent Pennyfarthing Mount and 2,500 crowns
• Third Prize - Black Rain Shades and 2,500 crowns

Good luck everyone! And watch for more contest announcements in the next few days! Also keep an eye on the other official fan sites for more chances to win! See you around the spiral! :)
