Bricksplosion has taken the nation by storm. Hollywood is knocking down our doors, demanding the rights to make a feature film out of our antics. And who are we to refuse them? We like money (for the children, naturally).
But our contract has a rider: the promotional materials MUST be made by loyal Zeta watchers. We know you can do better than some Hollywood schill who doesn't really understand us (and our journey). Make a promotional poster for this future blockbuster, complete with a tagline and an all-star cast!
Send an email with the title "Bricksplosion Movie Poster" to contests@desertbus.org before 4:30am for a chance to win! Use PNG, JPG, or GIF formats only and please include your name (and pronouns) in the email so we know how to refer to you!
We'll pick one favorite to win a Desert Bus 2023 T-shirt (Unisex) that will look fabulous for your red carpet appearance.

What better way to (Wind) Wake(r) up than with this bright, warm blanket featuring the Princess and the Knight from The Legenda of Zelda: Wind Waker? It's even quilted in a wave pattern, and if you stare at it long enough it might just gently rock you to sleep.
Donate $10.29 (or multiples thereof) before 9:55pm PT for a chance to win "The Legend of Zelda - The Princess and the Knight"!
MomoCon, you're a peach! Once again you've donated a cool prize to Desert Bus for Hope, and we're thrilled to have you as a sponsor. Thank you for supporting us, and thank you for creating a wonderful space to celebrate geek culture in Atlanta!
We all get greedy sometimes. But greed is justified when what you want is as charming and lovely as this No Face Handknit Blanket! Unlike the gold in No Face's little hands, this is not too good be true. It's very real, could be yours, and we guarantee will not transform into a ravenous monster that eats you.
NOTE: Someone else's legs and arms not included.
Donate $7.20 (or multiples thereof) before 8:40pm PT for a chance to win the No Face Handknit Blanket!
LIVE. RAW. UNCUT. These Uncommon Innistrad Magic cards are shiny and new, even though the set released back in 2011. You may recall that we auctioned a different uncut sheet of uncommon Innistrad Magic cards back then, and the winner of that auction permanently loaned it back to Loading Ready Run where it's been on our wall ever since.
This sheet - which is a different sheet, mind you - could hang on your wall for 12+ years, giving you joy every time you pass by and see its sparkly, printer-fresh foils.
Contest over! Congratulations to That_One_Purple_Fox who took it away for $6,699. Very nice.
We set the stage for Desert Bus 2023 with our anime intro video, but something was missing. We sat down for a few days and thought about it, and thought about it and thought about it, and then we got distracted by crabs, but then we thought about it again and AT LAST we realized what it was: we need a title card! We can't be a proper anime without a title card. Please, come to our rescue!
We need you to create a Desert Bus for Hope 2023 anime title card. Send it to contests@desertbus.org with the subject "Title Card" before 10:30pm PT. JPG or PNG format only!
Our favorite will receive a Desert Bus 2023 t-shirt (Unisex, size of your choice) and a sense of pride in knowing that you encouraged us to continue being Like This.
We've got items! You might want 'em. Let us know by bidding very, very quietly. If you bid too loudly, then the auction bunny gets scared and flees into the safety of its burrow, taking all the prizes with it. So shhhhh. bid very softly
Legend of Zelda Wood Panel Triptych
The craftswork on these triptych pieces would make any Zonai proud. Link and Zelda look wonderful, but we both know that you're really here for Handsome Gannon. You can bring him home and gaze longingly at him every single day if you win this item!
"Legend of Zelda Wood Panel Triptych" auction ends at 2:00am PT.
Cross Stitched Progress Pride Flag
Progressing the main quest in a video game? Optional. Progressing society to make it a more welcoming space where everyone can explore and express their unique identity with both institutional and inter-personal support? Necessary. Put that progress pride up on your wall!
