Prize update! Pretty Wood Pen Contest

[Brian G]

Did you hear the news about the Pretty Wood Pen Contest?

No? Well, how about this?

BREAKING NEWS: PRIZE UPDATE

This is exciting! In addition to the $50 Gift Certificate from Robutacion, the first prize winner will also win a GENUINE PRETTY WOOD PEN made by Lou Metcalf

That's right! Through an anonymous and generous donation, one of Lou's pretty wood pens has been donated as a prize. That should add incentive to enter the Pretty Wood Pen Contest.

BUT WAIT. . . . THERE'S MORE!

All entrants in the Pretty Wood Pen Contest that do not finish in the top three are automatically entered into a random drawing for a SFRB of an assortment of pretty wood pen blanks, and maybe some pretty other material blanks, from my hoard.

Instead of posting your pretty wood pen in the SOYP forum, submit it for entry into the Pretty Wood Pen Contest, and you'll have a chance to win a great pretty wood pen or more pretty wood blanks.

Even if you don't win first place, or the random draw, you still have a chance to win the 2nd place prize of a $25 gift certificate from an anonymous donor, or the 3rd place prize of a BOB from stonepecker.

Wouldn't that be a great way to get yourself through the dog days of summer?

Brian, you're kidding. . . a pen actually made by Lou Metcalf?

What other contest offers something like that?

Makes me wish I could enter.

I'd probably lose, though, and end up trying to win a SFRB of my own pretty wood pen blanks.

Makes me wish I had a pen to enter.

There's still time!

Good luck finishing your Pretty Wood Pen this weekend. The deadline for entering is Sunday, August 21, at 11:59 p.m. Central plus one minute.

I have the random draw prize of a BOPWB (box of pretty wood blanks) packed. I shed a tear letting a few go. :wink:

You have a little less than 10 hours to get your entry done, photographed, and entered.

Midnight Central tonight is the close.

If you have sent in your entry prior to the posting of this message, and haven't received an acknowledgement from me, let me know ASAP. That means something went wrong.
