This will be the thread to announce the winners of our monthly Show Off Your Pens (SOYP) Prize Drawing for new members.
To be eligible for this monthly drawing, a new member must post a pen photo in the Show Off Your Pens forum within 60 days after joining IAP.
Although you may actually win only one new member drawing, you can have 2 or 3 chances to win this contest: for example, if you join IAP on 16 Jan 2016, you could post photos in the SOYP forum in Jan, Feb & Mar (as long as your March post was made before Mar 16) and you would be automatically entered into the drawing each of those 3 months.
10 new members who joined IAP in Nov or Dec 2015 or Jan 2016 posted a Show Off Your Pen photo during the month of Jan. In the future, posts must be made within 60 days of joining IAP, but I allowed a little slack this month (two of the postings were a few days over the official 60 day limit) since this was the first time we have held this contest and it was only announced last week.
By random draw, the winner of the January 2016 prize is:
Rob Platt
Rob joined IAP on 8 Dec 2015 and posted an SOYP photo on 7 Jan 2016. He is a Director of Global Logistics in Kansas City.
Congratulations Rob, you have won a $25.00 voucher from Exotic Blanks thanks to generosity of Dawn & Ed at Exotic Blanks.
