This page announces *Judge* magazine's drawing competition inviting amateur readers to complete a deliberately silly line drawing by adding their own creative extensions to make it form a humorous face, figure, or animal. The contest was extremely popular—so much so that *Judge* was printing winning entries in successive weeks. The magazine emphasizes that this contest is reserved for amateur readers specifically, as professional artists would have "unfair advantage." The "Wiggle-Wobble" refers to a 1920s fad where people held "Wiggle-Wobble parties" to draw these pictures together instead of discussing serious topics like drama, music, or politics—suggesting contemporary frivolousness about world affairs during this era. Prizes range from $25 down to $5, with honorable mentions also awarded. The page displays the third-through-fifth prize winners and several honorable mentions, showing completed entries from various American cities.
