Are you saying that in this contest you have to 'make' the blank?
Does that mean you can not use a blank you bought from a vendor or on line?


No, thanks for pointing that out Wayne. I remember last year we had to edit that part. Forgot to do it this time....

Mike....can you edit that out? Will we have extended editing capabilities when the time gets closer?

Should say
"All work must be completed 100% by the entrant"

Thanks
