THE UGLY PEN CONTEST â€" THE WINNERS!!!
The judging for this contest was harsh! Not so much on the contestants, but definitely on the judges! A couple of them have already told me they won’t be talking to me anymore! But that’s OK, they’re probably mentally damaged now anyway!
Before I announce the winners, I want to remind everyone of rule #7, which states “A single entry may win more than one prize, in other words, winning in one category does not disqualify the entry from winning in another category.†Several entries won more than once, and I don’t want there to be any confusion about the ability to do this! Then without further delay, here are the winners:
Prizes are awarded in five categories:
Worst looking normal pen.</u> This is the category for those who tried to make a nice pen, but it turned out ugly!
First Place - 1JaredSchmidt
Second Place â€" Tharvey
Third Place â€" Maxwell_smart007
Most technically advanced ugly pen.</u> This category is for those pens that look like they’re from the future, but are still ugly!
First Place â€" ChuckKey
Second Place â€" Mdburn-em
Third Place â€" Sparhawk
Most disgusting pen.</u> This is for those of you with the perverse sense of humor, but please, I don’t want to see a whole string of Ca-ca pens, and no human reproductive organ pens! Remember, this is a family site! (Note: We allowed the litterbox pen even though it was ca-ca because the main visual element was the litter, not the ca-ca. The Judges)
First Place â€" Sparhawk
Second Place â€" Karlkuehn
Third Place â€" Wudnhed
Most unusual material.</u> Inventive use of non-traditional materials is King in this category!
First Place â€" Wudnhed
Second Place â€" Johncrane
Third Place â€" Karlkuehn
Just Butt Ugly Pen.</u> This is kind of the all-encompassing category for the entry that is truly just the ugliest around!
First Place â€" Karlkuehn
Second Place â€" Wudnhed
