I will get a list of contests for the Bash listed in the coming days and you can start selecting the contest(s) your willing to chair. Once you have chosen your contest, rules should be posted in their own contest thread. I can edit any rules needed as we go or you can post a new set in your contest thread. I would like to post the Contest rules to the public forum By Mid December for discussion and any changes from member input.
THe first week of January we will repost the final rules and Feb kicks off the Bash.

 

[mredburn]

I will confirm that Curtis will provide us with entry forms again this year. All contests other than Puzzles and Trivia will use the entry forms. The entry forms are critical at the end of the bash when I have 300+ prizes from dozens of donors that I have to make sure get to the winners.
All photos will be uploaded on Iap and not from an outside website with links to the pictures. Make yourselves familiar with the process of posting the pictures in the thread rather than just thumbnails. Jeff has a couple of youtube videos of the process I can help point you to if you need help. Its not hard but does add a couple of minutes per entry to your work load. It makes viewing the entries much easier by the members.
When we go live with the contests we will have separate sub forums for each contest like last year and you will be able to moderate your own contests.

Just FYI, Mike - I still don't know...I'm treading water and spitting out seawater right now....

 

[bobleibo]

I'm in if needed.....BPP contest if possible please

 

[mredburn]

I have posted a list of the contests for this years Bash Some of you have requested a particular contest. I have assigned those. If you ran a contest last year and would like to do it again let me know you can have first choice on it. If you would rather run a different contest post which one you would like. If a chair doesnt want to run a contest they ran last year that contest is up for grabs. Claim it in this thread.

We had very poor participation in the hunter contest and the Freestyle so I am eliminating them for this year. We may rotate them back in next year.

 

[Loucurr]

I'm here

 

[Loucurr]

I would be up for the slimline unlimited if not taken.

 

[mredburn]

I have added Pretty Wood Pen Contest this year, Brian G has volunteered to run it.
I have also made a separate contest for Poly clay pens from casting. We will see how well it does. I have assigned that to Creid since it was part of Basic casting last year.
