*** 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…
Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Benjamin Moore.

MOORE Me!
My little neighbor boys gave me a signed drawing of them playing soccer. Kept that puppy on the fridge for years! We don’t have kids so that was the only fridge art for a long time.
Christie says
MOORE ME!
I used to work for an NBA basketball team, so I have a few autographed basketballs, programs, etc.

Whitney says
MOORE ME!
Mickey Mouse… so cool when you are in 3rd grade! I think I would be too nervous to ask someone famous! (Well my dad was friends with Aerosmith so we have a lot of their stuff, but I didn’t get it, my dad just has it.)
Chris says
Moore Me! I have a postcard with a picture of The Dave Clark Five and got each of their autographs when they were in Cleveland for a concert. I guess that dates me as one of your oldest followers!
Loretta says
Moore Me! I have never had a celebrity autograph–but lots and lots of scribbles over the years from my kiddos and nieces and nephews. I heart Candice Olsen!!

“MOORE ME”
Traveling through the LA airport with my family when I was around 10 years old, my sister and I totally snagged autographs from “All for One” — you know, one of the many boy bands of the late 90s. Who can forget their classic “She’s got Skillz” with the memorable lyric “baby, you are all that…plus a bag ‘a chips.” Skills.
Casey says
“MOORE ME”
When I was in middle school some guy came to talk to us about comic books. Then he signed copies for us to take home. That would be the most famous signature I ever attained, lol.
Jane says
MOORE ME! I love Benjamin Moore paint and Candice Olson! Years ago when I taught second grade, I snagged an autograph from famous children’s author and illustrator, Tomie dePaolo. I read his book, Watch Out for the Chicken Feet in Your Soup, to my class and then we made bread dolls just as his grandma did in the story. We sent Tomie pictures of the students with their bread dolls, and he sent back a hand-written note (with signature) to us on a note card with one of his illustrations on the front. I framed it!

Muhammad Ali, he was on the same flight as me and my family. We were headed to my uncle’s 65 birthday party and we got him to sign the birthday card.
MB says
MOORE ME!
I loved Marvin Hamlisch and feel so lucky to have snagged his autograph twice! Both are framed and hang in our Hall. My Favorite of them is my tattered, torn and taped together album “Chorus Line” cover. I was so sad recently we we learned he had passed away so I feel extra lucky now!!!

Sarah PH says
MOORE ME!
I have a card from the President and first lady addressed to my daughter. You can get one too – send a birth announcement to the White House! Their signatures are stamped on it, but it’s not really an autograph.

Valerie says
“MOORE ME!”
I used to work in a semi-high end store and we had various celebrities shop there, but we weren’t supposed to ask for autographs (I probably wouldn’t have anyway). None of them were anyone I admired so why have a signature of someone you barely recognize?
Linda says
“Moore Me”! During Senator Obama’s bid for the White House, my elementary class wrote to him wishing him luck. He sent a signed photograph and letter to our class, which we posted proudly on the classroom bulletin board!
Suzi Moore says

Hulk Hogan – from the 80’s WWF (back when he had the ’24” pythons’ and ripped off his shit before every match.
Kelly says
MOORE ME! The only signature I have is one from the author Laurell K Hamilton. I was a big fan back in the day but have since moved away from her writing.
I am still a HUGE Candice Olson fan however and I got to see her give presentation last year at the local home show – sadly no autograph though!
April Specht says

Bryn says
Moore me! Back in 1997 when I was doing my third year of university in Nantes, France I flew from Paris to London and Andrea Bocelli was on the same flight. The guy who checked me in told me to wait in the lounge for him and he’d try to bump me to first. That didn’t work out but I did get to meet Andrea and he was charming and seemed so tall. I was a student then and had no fear so I asked him for his autograph. I showed everyone back in coach, lol.
