The object being evaded could be anything: a random projectile; the horror of kissing a great aunt with a hairy chin; a large dog turd on the sidewalk/pavement or even artfully shirking off the household chores - the only proviso is that your example of evasion has to make us titter like little schoolgirls.
If you're stuck for inspiration, check out this sterling example of a masterful evasive technique in action:
You can post an actual photo of an evasive event, or even show off your artistic skills in MS Paint if you are so inclined! Just host the image on the interwebs using a service such as Imageshack and post the link below. (550px width would be ideal if you have the skills to resize the image!)
Only one winner will be selected on Monday 16th February (at around 10am GMT). This lucky person will get a copy of Evasive Space gifted to them free of charge. To participate your Wii’s country setting must be set to the United States.
Only one entry per reader please - so make it a good one!
Update: The winner is PDTempest, with this quite frankly unbelievable example of death-avoidance that even Frogger would be proud of:
Well done! We'll be in touch regarding the prize shortly.

Dang I wish I could enter this! Here's something that made me laugh anyway:

Master Evasive technique haha
Hey, there's nothing to laugh about someone throwing a shoe. They seem to be the weapon of choice for modern day assassins.
There'll be no sole-less murders from now on.
Random Task.
Here's a great dodge!!!! http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/2561/dodgeballinfacepo6.jpg
@tkubas1 - That's a great example of how not to evade something!
This picture has been making its rounds lately:

Just so happens to also be shoe related
Preemptive edit: Yes, the guy made it. Probably needed a new pair of pants though.
4^He didn't dodge.
Is Monday the deadline too? So no videos huh?

Very close dodge.
@Mr. Saturn: Wow, I wouldn't just need a new pair of pants, I'd need a new heart O.O That guy is lucky.
Only america? Damn. Ah well.
Daz, you have redeemed yorselfwith that picture. Best scene ever
And ES comes out Monday. I cant wait for the review, by Corbie of course (it is a shump after all)
Here's a picture of me practicing my evasion techniques on a ticket booth sign before evading more difficult challenges: aliens, dinosaurs, mummies, and a T-1000

Hmm, yes, that would be when I nodded off at the wheel of my car.
I know, I know, it's dumb of myself if I let myself fall asleep while driving, but here's the real kicker: this had been going on for a month or so. Yeah, real tired after work, I was getting. It was hard staying awake, once I started going off the road, but the sound of the loud gravel woke me up. Eventually, though, my luck would run out. I was nodding off at the wheel, coming on to a construction zone. Traffic was stopped. I woke up in time to see that I was going to hit a pickup truck with its gate down. I managed to swerve around it in time.
...Only to hit an oncoming car.
I eventually did a way to keep myself awake on the way home from work: chewing gum.
Wait... Corbie's reviewing this? I wonder what score it might get...
Corbie is a but busier than usual at the moment so it will be a mystery reviewer giving you the verdict on Evasive Space next week.
Besides it's not a shooter, it's about avoiding things. This would just confuse an shmup king such as the Corbinator!
Some good evasive images so far, keep em rolling in!!
PS: Canadians can enter too, but you will need to switch your Wii settings over to USA to receive the gift.
This is awesome!! I'm dying to get this game so if I participate, that would be great if I got it as it is one of my most anticipated titles.
@Wiiloveit: A 6. Duh (sarcasm,its really a 7)
@Dazza: Mystery reviewer eh? Lets try that new guy Scott, Ilike him:)
Hmmm... a mystery reviewer, eh? Is it... (thinks of the first American guy that comes to my head) OBAMA?
@Wiiloveit
It starts with s and ends with even.
@slambert: By my username starts with a K and ends with an 8! lol. XD
I got some great ideas for this contest.
Can we make a video too?
Jesus evading a dragon in his giant hot dog mobile!
http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/2086/jesusevadingadragon298iv3.jpg
@accc - Did you do the drawing and if so, how'd the heck you think that one up??
The original picture was just jesus in the hot dog, I added the dragon to give it some evasive flair!
http://i39.tinypic.com/1ik19x.jpg
That's the best I could think up. I don't think I can win with this but I hope it makes you at least chuckle a little bit...
@Taiyou: That definitely DID make me laugh!
Oops, my Wii is european, I can't win anyway lol. At least I had a great 5 minutes pause on my studies to make the drawing...
not really a picture, loosely related in the sense of not evading
Dazza makes a good point, Corbie would be lost.
He'd constantly be searching for the button to shoot.
@Bahamut ZERO: Heh, thanks for the comment. But it's gonna be a mystery till Monday, like most VC and WW releases, LOL.
Will I win if I avoid sending in a picture?
Posted Thu, 12 Feb 2009 - By Darren Calvert "the only proviso is that your example of evasion has to make us titter like little schoolgirls."
Well Darren, here is an example of evasion, complete with tittering little schoolgirls! http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc313/citizen_zane/dodgeball.jpg
Check out the air that kid gets as he dodges that ball!
Calculon wins.
@citizen_zane: Neo forgot all about his childhood Matrix experiences. There is no ball.....
@AlexSays: Thanks. That makes you one on Calculon's Christmas list. And only one
insert ROFL emote from deviantArt here
I have nothing against Mr. Bush, but... supresses laughter
But still, I plan to not participate.
Not much, but here's my entry:

I don't care for the contest, but Evasive Space on Monday? If Onslaught, BB+, Cave Story, Butterfly Garden, Pop Them Drop Them SameGame, or Adventure Island WW come out with it, then it'll be the best update since the beginning of WiiWare.
Alright, here's my entry. It's an "unmotivational" poster I found. http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/7897/2851979316f20b7ff3elu3.jpg
Some chucklesome additions here. Keep them coming, folks.
Here's a bad attempt at being evasive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxGGyVklPHg
And another: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTaTvwl4-28
@Calculon: you just have to go and ruin everything, now, don't you?
Also: good artwork on the eyes there, Olimar91, and Taiyou and tccc's creations also made me laugh. As Damo said, "keep them coming, folks".
@Wiiloveit: Aww ... I love it when you talk all cute like that. Do it again
@Calculon: You smell funny.
And I've got more where that came from.
@Wiiloveit: Classic. Keep 'em coming.
@Wiiloveit: OMG The Coke Fail video is pretty awesome. Though he fails miserably at being "evasive".
@Calculon: Hows about... your face looks like a robot's face.
Hah! Although, I should follow the rules of no bullying...
Well there's this that I saw recently... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFdGKeQph-Q
On the other hand, there is the end to this legendary fight... now this WAS evasion of a kind http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np_5BHmaSI4
Here's some great evasion.
http://pure-essence.net/stuff/ICHC/funny-pictures-15-cents-stop.jpg
Here's mine:
http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/8818/evadedogly3.jpg
Did you just go to google images and search evade?
Btw, to several people above, you're only supposed to submit one! That may disqualify you, so you might want to edit and have only one submission. But what do I care, it only improves my odds!
lol, Obj_Blaster.
Looks like I got some competition. Some.. not so much. lol.
If I understand correctly, it's gotta make 'em laugh too...
Narrowed my submission down. Holding off a bit. Still wondering if I'm allowed to use a vid. I may need make my own, which is why I'm asking.
The competition is only for images, not videos
C'mon lets see some more MS Paint art, they've been the funniest so far!
Thanks for clarifying, Dazza! Photoshop FTW! lol.
http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/3232/poododgerfq4.jpg
Here's my picture for the contest. {I didn't edit this picture at all. It is honestly real poo.}
For the game, it actually looks like geometry wars with more dodging like gameplay.
http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/9030/aajh111elimanningsuperbtg0.jpg
Here's my entry/attempt... It's a quick drawing I made. =)
http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/705/evadetb9.jpg
Honestly, a pretty sucky entry on my part, but it's the best I could come up with from an original point of view and I figured it might amuse one or two people. ^_~ Especially since tax season is coming right up and we all know how much we'd love to evade that.
http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/2913/bullettaxtimelo2.jpg
Hey Dazza do you have any idea if Evasive Space is going to have a PAL release since HVS is not publishing this one?
@Taiyou: As far as I'm concerned, you have one of the best submissions. It's such a shame you can't win!!
I'll be submitting my entry once I'm sure it should be submitted.
I had a really good one (two, actually) but the problem is, I didn't think they'd be funny enough and TBH, I was confused as to which one you want more out of our submissions: More skills, or more humor.
I had a better submission, like I said, that exemplified more skill (I'll keep my mouth shut so noone can snag my idea, lol) but this'll have to do I suppose.
Mine: http://i39.tinypic.com/smrnsj.jpg
Hats off to the Megaman and Avoid question ones. Those two are my favs.
@jordanr - We asked about Europe in our interview. I guess they will wait to see what the US sales are like before committing to this.
The winner is PDTempest with a quite frankly unbelievable example of death-avoidance that even Frogger would be proud of!
Thanks for all your entries, it was hard to decide between them!
WOW!!! PD Tempest wins!
The Coca-cola spill video was hilareous!!!
And just for kicks, here's a much less fortunate HD television that did a terrible job of wii-mote dodging
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrrvkPo7TZ4&eurl=http://failblog.org/page/15/
Congrats, PDTempest - but I think what we all want to know is this: what were your other ideas, KS8?
