Got something weird? Slap a postage stamp on it and send it to Ripley’s Believe It or Not! headquarters to win the ‘Strange Mail Contest’.

Under the rules of the contest, which was announced on June 13, the item should not be in a box, envelope or wrappings of any kind. The postage stamp and address must be affixed to directly to the item. Depending on what strange curio you have in mind, the 'no box' rule may be tricky but it's not impossible.
