Creative Design Studio (RKR4CDS)Let’s Name those Cubs!
Team Bear has kindly offered to run a ‘name the cubs’ contest. The complete rules for the contest are at Contest Rules. But, in short, here’s their plan.
Everyone email names to cubnamingcontest@gmail.com between 11:00 AM EST Thursday (2/17) and 11:00 AM EST Saturday (2/19).
Each person submits two names; one for the female and one for the male.
Please include your own name and complete mailing address with your submission.
Only one submission per person.
At the end of the 48 hour period, Team Bear will tally the entries and make a ‘Short List’ of the 3 most popular female names and the 3 most popular male names. They will send those 6 names to us for approval. If we have to remove a name like Stinky or Terror, the next most popular name will be inserted until the ‘Short List’ is approved. (We know you wouldn’t name Hope’s sister and brother those names.)
On Sunday (2/20) at 11:00 AM EST, Team Bear will draw a fan name from the emails submitted. The winner then has 24 hours to select two names from the list, one for the male cub and one for the female cub. The winner gets a certificate of honor and a copy of “Lily & Hope – the Light of the Northwoods by Olatz Azcona Munarriz.
On Monday (2/21) at 8 PM EST, Team Bear will announce the winning cub names. We’re anxious to see the names you come up with! This will begin a new era in the saga of Lily, Hope, and the cubs.
Thank you for all you do.

Past Time BearsThere's been a change in the rules of the cub naming contest due to additional information concerning a "theme" the researchers are using to name cubs. This was in tonight's update.
ANNOUNCEMENT: Due to the complications this update caused for Team Bear's record-keeping, the Name The Cub Contest will be RESTARTED at 8:00 PM Eastern Time. If you have submitted names, please resubmit them to cubnamingcontest@gmail.com. We thank you for your understanding and we thank Team Bear for their flexibility!
