# Life Magazine Title Contest, December 1924 This page announces a contest inviting readers to suggest titles for an untitled cartoon. The illustration shows six figures in 1920s attire in what appears to be a social gathering—men in tuxedos and women in evening wear, seated and conversing. The cartoon likely depicts a fashionable social scene, though without its intended caption, the specific satire isn't clear from the image alone. The contest offered $1,000 in total prizes (first prize $500), requiring submissions by December 20, 1924, judged by Life's editorial staff. The page also includes two short humorous items: "Rush!" (about judges overwhelmed with contest entries) and "Safety" (a banker's joke about vault security). This was typical Life content—mixing reader participation contests with brief comedic vignettes.
