HEAR YE, HEAR YE!

ORDER OF THE LEVIATHAN

There be big doin’s afoot here at Pirates Magazine. We’re holding a contest to pick the nation’s
best buccaneers. With your help, we’ll scour the globe to find...

The Devil’s Dozen!
13 scallywags that best exemplify the spirit of piracy!

That’s right, YOU can join the ranks to be one of the
13 official Pirates Magazine Devil’s Dozen of 2010!

Here’s how the contest works: if you’re part of a cosplay pirate crew, parade group or a pirate reinactor,
send in a photo of your captain along with a short paragraph about him (or her). The editors of Pirates Magazine
will pick twelve captains from east of the Mississippi and twelve captains from west of the Mississippi
(Aye, we’re splittin’ the world right in half like a cutlass through a cooked goose)
to comprise a total of 24 captains from which 13 proud pirates will be picked by their peers and
the readers of Pirates Magazine via www.piratesmagazine.com. So e-mail a photo and
paragraph about your captain to me - Davenichols@piratesmagazine.com.

Your entry for the Devil’s Dozen must reach us by September 30, 2009.
Watch for Pirates Magazine Issue #11, due on newsstands November 1, 2009,
to see the 24 Captains chosen for step one of this here contest and
we’ll fill you in on how you can help pick the Final 13.

The identities of Pirates Magazine Devil’s Dozen for 2010 will be revealed at a lavish pirate
event, location to be announced when the voting begins on November 1, 2009. If chosen, you will
receive that rarest of all prizes, the Pirates Magazine Devil’s Dozen sterling silver ring by
Skinny Dog Designs, makers of the Pirates of the Caribbean rings for Disney!

A Custom Sword Cutlass by the famous Tony Swatton of www.swordandstone.com
and one from renowned Matt Stagmer of www.baltimoreknife.com
will be presented to the "Devil's Dozen" and they will then roll dice in pirate fashion for these blades.
This is going to be a high quality yearly event, don't miss the ship on this!

Remember, you must travel to and attend the event (at your own cost) next year
(location announced Nov. 1, 2009) to become one of the Devil’s Dozen,
and must be willing and able to vote on important issues in
the pirate community such as the naming of the 13th member of this foul company.
We’ll also present the Pirates Magazine Pirate of the Year for 2010 with
THE GOLDEN HOOK!

Sound intriguing? Just think, as one of The Devil’s Dozen ye’ll go down in history without having
to swing from a gibbet. You’ll also appear on the Pirates Magazine masthead in our prestigious
Order of Leviathan. So get busy and send in a photo and bio on your captain today so we can
run this killer contest up the main mast.

Welcome ye to the "Order of Leviathan " if ye dare!
