'STOMP' Grammar Ninja Contest: Fight bad English and win prizes

Be a Grammar Ninja today: Find and fix English errors in Singapore and stand to win up to $800 in Kinokuniya vouchers.

To enter:

1. Snap a picture of an English error found in a public place in Singapore.

2. Suggest a correction for the error.

3. Submit your picture and correction through our iPhone app or via email: stomp@stomp.com.sg. Include your name, phone number and email.

To qualify, your entry must have been found in Singapore. Other than this, there are no restrictions -- menus, product labels or banners are all fair game, so long as they occur in public places.

The best Grammar Ninjas stand to win up to $800 in Kinokuniya vouchers.

Our judges' decision is final. Note that by entering the competition, you are agreeing to be featured in interviews, photos or videos in Stomp or other SPH publications.
