The “Caption Contest” in the quarterly publication, The Bent magazine, has quickly become one of the most popular segments of each issue. An image is chosen from the Association’s archives and published. Readers are asked to submit (witty) captions for the image. The submissions are judged and the top three winners receive a TBP t-shirt of their choosing.
For the Fall 2019 issue, there were 63 captions submitted by 41 readers. We encourage you to take a look at the upcoming Spring 2019 issue to participate and join in the laughs.
