*** This contest is now closed – see who won below!***
And this week’s random winner is… Stacy (who says “when I was little, I got the local radio dj’s autograph and thought I was so cool! Looking back, it is just funny how silly it was!”). Congrats Stacy!
We love us some Candice Olson (and still pinch ourselves that our faces share a webpage with her over on BenjaminMoore.com). So we sweet talked our way into a little Benjamin Moore / Candice Olson prize for you guys – including a signed copy of her latest book, Candice Olson Bedrooms. So once you’ve torn yourself away from petting her signature (not that we’d do that, ok we totally would) and are ready to put that Olson-spiration to use, Benjamin Moore’s gonna lend a hand with two gallons of their Aura paint, a 7-piece applicator kit, a $50 gift card, and your very own Candice Olson Design Picks fan deck. And if that’s not enough of a Candice fix for ya, you can enter to win a personal design consultation from her over on Benjamin Moore’s site.
- PRIZE: Two gallons of Aura paint, a 7-piece applicator kit, $50 gift card, a Candice Olson Design Picks fan deck and signed copy of Candice Olson Bedrooms courtesy of Benjamin Moore.
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MOORE ME” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … what other autograph have you snagged? Did you get your favorite band to sign an album cover? Or receive a signed letter from a big name public figure? Maybe you got a big novelty check signed by Ed McMahon? Or just a sweet crayon-drawing signed by a niece or nephew?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Sept 12th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The United States & Canada (we couldn’t leave out Candice’s homeland!)
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

MOORE ME!
I have the autographs of the stars and director of The Boondock Saints movie. They came and did a question answer session at my University a couple of years ago before the second movie All Saints Day came out. It was great, I got hugs from both guys and Sean Patrick Flanery even complemented my shirt!

MOORE ME!
I’ve actually never sought an autograph from anyone. I never know what to do with the piece of paper after.
Cara W says
MOORE ME!
Oh, there are so many 90’s/early 2000 signatures that I have. LFO, Summer Sanders, Ben Affleck. Ben is the only one who is still current. Poor LFO, they just didn’t make the musical cut: one hit wonders.
Jessica says
MOORE ME!
Still waiting for that big-hit signature. Maybe it will be Candice…

MOORE ME! When I was little I got all of the characters at Disney World to sign my autograph book. Haha.
Ashley P says
MOORE ME! I like keeping papers with my kids’ signatures on them and comparing them year to year to see how much they’ve grown. They grow up too FAST!
Lauren Cintron says
MOORE ME!

Jenny Stoudt says
MOORE ME! When I was ten, the coolest thing happened to me – I got Mickey Moose’s autograph while in Disney World. What are the odds? :D
Megan says
MOORE ME!
When I was a kid, I got Mark Kistler’s autograph. He had a short drawing show “Imagination Station” for kids on PBS and I thought was the bomb.
Heidi says
MOORE ME
I guess it would count as an autograph, but I still have a check from the first competition where I won money. It was for $4 or something :)

I received a signed copy of a Rachael Ray cookbook one year for Christmas.

The only autographs I have are from Mickey and Minnie Mouse from a trip to Disney World when I was 9 years old.
J.Mill says
MOORE ME!
I actually don’t think I have any autographs. I remember attending a concert when I was too young and complaining about waiting in line for autographs with the group.
I said: Ugh, if you all want their names on a CD, I’ll write them for you!
karen says

MOORE ME!
When I was in elementary school, I had Walter Payton autograph a ball for my dad.
Lisa in Seattle says
MOORE ME!
I did get autographs from one of my favorite bands, Front 242. They signed a shirt, and since it was the last night of the tour before they returned to Belgium, they were dismantling the stage set. I snagged a parachute (full size) and a giant industrial fan blade. It’s surprising what you can cram into a Honda when you’re truly motivated.
Katie says
MOORE ME!
A few years ago I got the signature of the lead singer (Nate Henry) of my favorite band, Sherwood, at the Cornerstone Music Festival in Illinois.
Taylor says
MOORE ME! I’m super proud of my framed, autographed VHS copy of Buffy the Vampire Slayer — courtesy of Kristy Swanson.
julie g. says
MOORE ME!!! We are trying to choose a color for our hallyways and common areas after my husband decided “we should go a different direction”!
Anyway, my best autograph tale involves my husband and two young sons taking me to a Japanese Steakhouse for my birthday. It was the first time they had the whole cooking in front of you and shooting shrimp in your mouth experience. They were so in awe of the concept that in addition to “filming” the meal prep on their Ipods, when we were paying our bill they asked our waiter for his autograph!!! We were sure he thought we were a family of lunatics that did not get out much but he said he was having such a bad day until he met my boys!
Vanessa says
MOORE ME!
I saw David Rocco do a “culinary performance” this summer and he signed my Made in Italy cookbook! He even stayed to chat with my friend and I for a bit. So amazing.
Ann says
Moore Me! I have a picture with a young Fred Savage circa his Wonder Years and Princess Bride era…does that count? He and his family were on the Haunted Mansion ride at Disney right in front of us :)
JILL says

I have a hat signed by Barry Sanders.
Amy S. says
Moore me. After a presentation by the world famous architect, I was able to get Daniel Lebiskind’s autograph in one of his books. Probably only cool to me.
Adrienne says
MOORE ME! I’m pretty sure I had a poster signed by Alexi Lalas when I was a kid. I just google imaged him and he’s kinda hot without all that crazy hair!
Teresa Wilhelm says
MOORE ME!
Alas, I have no autographs, they just don’t mean anything to me. Seems like a lot of fuss for, well, signing a name;)
Brandy says
MOORE ME! Don’t judge but my first autographs were of Peter, Paul and Mary on my parents’ record album. I was lucky enough to meet them when they played a children’s show when I was about 10 and have loved them ever since:)
