In November, the contest asked "What if there was a one night vacancy on Avenue Q? Does your puppet have what it takes to join the famous cast of characters?" Fans of the Tony Award-winning hit submitted photos of their own puppet creations in the contest, and ten finalists were selected. Among the entries are puppets named Abner Smooch, Kitty Swallows and Woodrow J. Larchbottom, III.
The winner of the contest will win a trip to New York and tickets to see Avenue Q on Broadway, with airfare, a two night stay at the Times Square Renaissance Hotel and dinner at a famous Times Square Restaurant included. The winner will also be given a pass to take his or her puppet backstage and meet the cast of Avenue Q, as well as make his or her Broadway debut with an onstage appearance in the musical.
