Thank you for participating. This contest is now closed.
We're happy to offer our readers the opportunity to win a skull from Cardboard Safari. "Cardboard Safari designs, manufactures and distributes home decor products worldwide using sustainable materials and state of the art manufacturing technologies. The tall tales and misadventures of my (owner Chris Jessee) woodsman cousin inspired the design of the first Cardboard Safari product, Bucky the deer trophy. Other trophy heads quickly followed as friends and customers made requests for their favorite animals. Our fun products inspire the soul and imagination of our customers at an affordable price." The folks at Cardboard Safari, are excited to participate in this Skull-A-Day giveaway by offering a Special Edition, "Vince", full-size human skull, to one lucky Skull-A-Day reader!
"Vince" is made of over 50 laser cut layers of recycled cardboard, a non-toxic, environmentally friendly product. Laser cutting makes for a precision fit and easy assembly using layered construction. Packaged flat for shipping; includes detailed instructions. There is one skull per package. This Special Edition includes a highly detail contour box. You read that right...there is assembly required and detailed instructions, because "Vince", is a fantastic 3D puzzle. This 3D skull puzzle is a great skull for teenagers to adults. Since cardboard is flammable, please keep the skull away from open flames and hot lights. Also, cardboard edges are sharp, since they are paper, so handle with care. "Vince" Measures: 6W x 6H x 8D inches
Puzzles are a great way to keep you busy on a leisurely day, and this unique one is sure to entertain you for hours. I normally put puzzles together at a house, but "Vince" deserves an adventure! To enter the contest, leave a comment below answering, where is the craziest place you would put your "Vince" skull together? I might put him together deep in the Paris, France catacombs. I think he would feel at home there.
[NOTE: If you are reading this on Facebook or Google+, be sure to leave your comment on this Skull-A-Day.com blog post if you want to be actually entered in this contest.]

Vince could come hang around my office in a medical school's anatomy department with the other skulls; he'd be the first cardboard one in our collection. (ranaregina@rcn.com)

Vince would most definitely live in the Danger studio. My art house made up of all things skull and cross bone creativity.
I'd take Vince to a very public place, a cafe with patio seating, and have coffee and put him together out in front of everyone, leaving them jealous that I not only got to put him together, but also got to take him home!
Vince would enjoy my company because I am awesome !!
I'll put him together in the lounge chair I'll be stuck in for about three months after foot surgery. I had the left done last year, so I am gathering much more to do after they cut the right.

that sucks not paying for postage for international winners... no point in me trying to win from the UK...
at least good ol' sourpuss were willing to pay postage internationally so big thumbs up to them..
I'd put Vince together at the Mütter Museum.
I'd put Vince together with my graduate students in the biology lab where I work. We could make a day of it!
I want, beautiful!
ricardoeustaq@hotmail.com
I would put it together in the basement with my two young sons to pass on my skull obsession.
I would put him together by the light of a full moon, up in a gnarled old walnut tree :3
smexydead@gmail.com
This is an amazing sculpture from a company that just keeps getting more interesting. Cardboard Safari is doing great work.
Vince would have a great time with my biological anthropology students!
misslindahoang@gmail.com
I'd assemble him in my secret lair, thousands of miles beneath the earth's crust.
john@meshandbones.com
i would assemble Vince at the X-mas party @ grandma's house....
We do a puzzle every year & i think this one would be quite some fun!!!
Vince would be put together while I sit at my family's graveyard plot on Nov 2 as I sit and visit with all my family members. ^_~. Nothing like visiting with family and putting together a puzzle.
Redwolfgoddess7@aim.com.
Oops it appears I forgot to put my contact info on my posting.
Vince would love Tucson's All Souls Procession! He'd feel right at home.
Thanks!

I would put Vince together on the international space station. Perhaps in front of one of those time lapse cameras so that you could see a cool time lapse of him being assembled and the background would be the glorious atmospheric changes of our planet.
First of all I have about 35-40 skull things at home that are actual human and animal skulls...I'd put Vince with all his "friends" at the tattoo shop where I work He would be a very awesome conversation piece there. At the shop we could assemble him as a group teamwork project and also to have some fun together!!

Vince would look awesome next to my husband's Yogi contemplating the world statue.
Perhaps in the dark corner of my cell at the asylum.
If I had Vince I would take him to the Round House at the Don Sheldon amphitheater on Mt McKinley and assemble it there with a bunch of climbers.
i would put Vince together on my dining room table...because my twin sister's ashes are in an urn on a bookcase next to it..i think she'd enjoy watching!!!
no..i am not weird...she's there so she can be part of everything..nothing goes in or out without being seen from there..she spent 7 years alone in a nursing home in Texas with brain damage...i swore she'd never be alone again!
I would have him put together in my daughter's car! A perfect place for burial!
I've yet to meet a puzzle that could stump me. I would like to see Vince try!
Really Cool and beautiful!
I think a room in the Winchester Mystery House would be a great place to put Vince together. (Provided that there was enough light in the chosen space) :)
nsrhoads@yahoo.com
I think I would put "Vince" together one piece at a time as a reward for each new skull paiting or drawing I completed. Finish a painting... add a piece, doodle a skull... add a piece... until finished.
I would assemble Vince with my husband (also named Vince) in the back of my 1977 Cadillac Hearse. My son, Steven, would also help with the process. We'd love to give Vince his new home! *Alianalways@aol.com*
I would assemble the skull deep within the womb of the nanny from The Muppet Babies under the guidance of her watchful eyes that gaze from beyond the frame of my conscious.
I would put him together at Calvary Cemetery in Youngstown, Ohio. Generations of my family are there back to when we first came to the State. Brings a whole new meaning to “Family Game night”.

rtwhisler@msn.com
i, not unlike you, would want to put vince together in a place where he would be comfortable, only my choice would the sedlec ossuary which is outside of prague in Kutna Hora...that place has a special resonance to me because I'm Czech and there's a decent chance I have relatives who make up the decor (at least i certainly hope it's the case).
bridget.mcgraw@gmail.com
Either that or I'd take him to a show at Hollywood Forever. Next weekend they are showing Sleepaway Camp!
Bridget.mcgraw@gmail.com
I would put Vince together hiding under a ShamWow!
It is more about who than where. Definitely put together with my kids. I would live it for my collection and even more special to have them help.
It's quite obvious - Vince needs to be placed near a box of bandages. Surely there will be cardboard paper cuts!
Vince would sit on my mantle... Watching me watching him.
Awesome! Would look great on my desk.
I might build him in a box.
I might build him with a fox.
I might build him here or there.
I might build him anywhere.
But, I guess that I am likely able
to build him at the kitchen table...
barklessdogstudios@gmail.com
GREATTTTTTTTTTTT,.......this skull puzzle is SO GREAT...i love 2 do this puzzle and i would set it in my window at night with a light on...keep creepy people away
great give away!

I need thiz.
I would assemble Vince in the childrens room of my local public library, while my grandchildren played.
jonquilsgrdn@gmail.com
I've been afraid to post, because I truly do not feel worthy of Vince.
gwaley@gmail.com
I'm not worthy.
Love this!! I'd take him for a drink atop the Hancock building in Chicago where fellow patrons could help me assemble him.
Perhaps I could take Vince to the Sac Horror Film Festival and let all the ghouls help me put his cranium back together.
shibagirl82@yahoo.com
it wouldn't be the first skull or cardboard safari item i have. Vince would be at home in my studio with his friends and other inspirations to me.
Bshutak@gmail.com
I would put him together as a competitive family sport. To make it interesting all family members participating will only be able to use their left hand and/or tongue during assembly.

join me vince
At the Sedlec ossuary in Kutna Hora http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedlec_Ossuary
I've always wanted to visit ever since I saw the excellent short on Sedlec by Jan Svanmajer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c4kmWJ0dd8
*Svankmajer* Apologies for the misspelling.
I see someone has already chosen Sedlec (I didn't want to read all the comments until I posted in case it influenced my answer but unfortunately this did not prevent a duplication d'oh!)so I'd like to change my answer to the Wellness Skull http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/wellness-skull. I suspect it may have an adverse effect on the cardboard material however the question did ask for "the craziest" place to assemble the puzzle...
I'll take him to Skull Cave on Mackinac Island. There's a container there where visitors add a note about their visit to the spot; I can write that I built a skull there. bintie@gmail.com
I would put Vince together in a haunted Civil War cemetery.
I would put him in the kitchen cupboard to scare my wife in the morning
I would construct Vince at my desk in my dark and crowded library room, lit by one light, to join my collection of other skulls.
I would test the validity of the "A" my daughter just got in her Human Anatomy class, by having her display her talents on Vince.
So glad I did not miss an opportunity in this give away.
Oh, in the middle of the bed with the throw pillows, maybe in the guest room when company was coming.
I would assemble Vince using only my teeth, blindfolded and riding a stag across an open plain. We would speed into oblivion, breathing with the quickened pace of creatures set with purpose and design. I'd probably be high on some kind of magical powder given to me by a crude shaman a few days prior. There would be visions of fire and more skulls to guide me with their faint, unintelligible pigeon voices cackling a thrall of ancient and forgotten native Gods.
Or I'd just use an X-acto, a file, patience, soda, all scored by some Aphex Twin in the background.
Still not sure yet.
I would put Vince together in the Church I attend & I am pretty sure I could our Pastoral Staff to help. ;)

I would assemble Vince while watched The Dresden Files, in hopes of unleashing a warlock thats trapped inside the cardboard skull
i absolutely love this idea... he'd look fab with my balsa wood spiders <3
I would love this for my MAN CAVE
john@john-roy.com

I would absolutely put him together in Mexico city during the dÃa de la muerta festival so that he could feel at home surrounded by his skully brethren :)
I would put it in the Winchester House. The one with all the doors thawt lead to nowhere. YAou would open a door and find a skull waiting, HA, Ha.
I would do it as a performance piece at my annual pumpkin carving contest and birthday celebration. While I piece a skull together bathed in orange light, viewers will no doubt follow what I'm doing and use their power tools to create the best skeletal jack-o-lanterns this side of the North.
