This photo gave rise to the competition name. We are creating a 2011 calendar to sell that captures some of the funniest English translations of signs and t-shirts from across the globe. Email copevisitorcentre@gmail.com your entries to the competition with your name and location the photo was taken. Please note we can only accept photographs you have taken yourself. Competition closes on 20th August 2010.
