*Style Invitational Week 906: Your mug here - design a mug for the runner-up Losers* By Pat Myers Sunday, February 6, 2011; As devotees of the Invitational Fine Print know, the third- and fourth-place Losers of each contest "win" their choice of a coveted Loser T-shirt or yearned-for Loser Mug. We've had only one model of mug, pictured here , since we started giving it out almost four years ago, and our supply is running low. So: */Give us a new design for the Loser Mug/* - it can be just a slogan or it can be an idea for artwork (you can just describe it rather than draw it). A very intricate design, or one with several colors, won't work well. Winner gets the Inker, the official Style Invitational trophy - plus the new mug. Second, third and fourth place also get the new mug - which of course will have someone else's idea on it. Loser. */Honorable mentions/* a lusted-after Loser magnet . First Offenders get a smelly, tree-shaped air "freshener" (Fir Stink for their First Ink). E-mail entries to losers@washpost.com or fax to 202-334-4312. Deadline is Monday, Feb. 14; results to be published March 6 (March 4 online). Put "Week 906" in the subject line of your e-mail, or it may be ignored as spam.
