Announcing Our Newest Shut Up Contest — “Show Us Your Issues!”

Are you proud of your imperfection? Have we got a contest for you — our “Show  Us Your Issues in Public” Contest.  Simply show us a photo of you in a public place wearing a Got Issues t-shirt and you’ll be automatically entered  in our contest. We’ll select 10 finalists and then open the polls for an imperfect vote. Winners will receive a $50 Target gift card. Entries must be received by May 28. Winner will be announced on May 31.  Finalists will be selected for:

  • Boldness of public display (Note: You must balance safety with boldness — no photos on the White House lawn please)
  • Use of  humor
  • Creativity
  • Swimsuit appearance (just kidding)

To submit your entry, email us at info@shutupabout.com. To order a “Got Issues?” t-shirt if you don’t have one, visit our Shut Up Store.   If you can’t afford a shirt, make your own with a magic market. It just has to say “Got Issues!” Good luck, and may the best imperfect win!

    I am submitting my picture wearing my new Got Issues Shirt. As promised I wore it on Friday to the CAFAP Conference in CT, but didn’t take the picture there as many people knew what it was about. I did get some raised eyebrows from our Program Director though for wearing it to the conference with all those DCF folks there. My husband took the picture Friday night at our favorite crazy week unwinding spot, Loco Perro in East Hampton, CT because they have the BEST Margarita’s. They also know I have issues as that was where we went right after my ER visit when I broke my arm. It was the one place I knew I could go in a hospital johnny, my Elmo slippers and a leopard print snuggie! They even cut up my dinner for me as I only had one arm. Okay, my issues are really showing now, can’t figure out how to paste/post the picture. HELP!
