You have to give GOG credit: their contests are pretty fun.

It’s not the holidays without a chance to visit GOG.com, looking for new and interesting ways that Coala has photo-chopped wintery iconography into them. It’s a tradition that we’re continuing for our fourth year!

The contest is simple: go through our catalog; we’ve edited 12 images, scattered across our wide selection of games, to include obvious holiday references, such as santa hats, Christmas trees, or reindeer…

When you’ve got them all, list them all in an email to “contest@gog.com” with the subject line being “GOG.com 2012 Scavenger Screenshot Hunt”. From every valid application we will pick 10 winners who got all the games right and gift them two games from the entire catalog. The contest ends on Tuesday December 25th 2012 11:59 GMT.

Or, I suppose, on the 21st of December when the world erupts in fire and doom. But if we’re still around after that, then we’ll end the contest officially on the 24th. 😉

Now, the tedious part of this contest is the part where you have to click around all — or at least a goodly number of — the games in their catalogue, looking at between six and a dozen screenshots for each of around 500 entries. That’s a lot of screenshots to sort through, but the prize is decent…especially if you get to pick your own games (which I would assume is the case).

And since there seems to be some confusion as to when the contest ends, might I suggest you get your submissions in by just before midnight on Christmas Eve?
