Hi Steve. I only became aware of the contest today. I would not have entered anyway as I am only starting to dabble in polymer clay, but I would have loved to have seen entries. Please don't give up on this - it is a fascinating and promising new avenue for pen makers to explore. I will be experimenting and will hopefully learn enough to enter next time.

Actually it isn't up to me about whether we have the contest next year - I'm trying to convince the powers that be that since I was hosting the contest and nobody won the prizes they should go to me....

If I do manage to convince them, I can guarantee that we will have the contest next year (and I will try not to publicize it)!

Seriously, if you want the contest to be run next year then watch for announcements about the bash in December and January and see if you can get a number of people to commit to entering!
