The Team Switzerland Project — and a new contest!

2008 was all about declaring yourself – Team Edward or Team Jacob – and rocking the vote. Novel Novice Twilight used the 2008 U.S. Nat’l elections as inspiration for our highly successful Team Edward vs. Team Jacob Campaign.

Looking ahead at 2009, we turn to our original inspiration – using Twilight as a way to get people (young people, especially) educated about and involved in politics. And this year in real-life politics there is a renewed effort for bipartisanship. Here at NNT, we want the same thing for Team Edward and Team Jacob. That’s why we’re excited to launch the Team Switzerland Project (or TSP for short).

All this year, we are inviting fans to submit their videos, artwork, poetry and other creative works to show how Team Edward and Team Jacob can get along.

Every Friday this year is Team Switzerland Day – and throughout the year, we’ll share everything we receive – as well as revealing exciting, new parts of the Team Switzerland Project.

And to kick things off, we have an awesome Team Switzerland Project Contest, sponsored by Blue Foundation - the band behind the song “Eyes on Fire” from the Twilight Soundtrack:

tsp-contest

To enter: Send us your artwork or videos promoting the Team Switzerland Project.

The deadline to enter is Friday, March 27th by midnight (PST).

Send all entries to: sara.novelnovice@comcast.net

We’ll share everything we receive on NNT. But NNT staff will choose the top 5 – then YOU will get to vote on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners. Winners will receive the following awesome prizes from Blue Foundation:

1st place: Blue Foundation Sweatshirt, LP & CD

blue-foundation-first-prize

2nd place: Blue Foundation T-shirt & free digital download of the Twilight soundtrack

blue-foundation-second-prize

3rd place: Blue Foundation T-shirt

blue-foundation-third-prize

Remember — send your entries to sara.novelnovice@comcast.net by Friday, March 27th at midnight (PST).

And be sure to check back at Novel Novice Twilight throughout the year for the latest on the Team Switzerland Project.

EDIT: 3.29.09 … the contest is now closed. You can view the top 5 and vote for the winner here through April 4th.

    I’m more of a Team Edward person, but I do agree that without Jacob the books wouldn’t be the same, but I’m still Team Edward FOREVER

    I believe that everyone can love Edward and Jacob the same.

    *SPOILERS for those who haven’t read past twilight*

    Jacob was the one who made Bella’s pain go away when Edward said he had to leave. She was devasted and he numbed the hole in her heart.. she couldn’t help the fact that she didn’t love him as much as she loved Edward. And I think we can all agree that Bella didi love Jacob on some level. But what she felt for Jacob just wasn’t as strong as what she felt for Edward. I am def. Team Switzerland. Fo sho!!
