We have our Winners for the Marketing Photo Contest!!!!
I'd like to apologize for the delay in posting these results, but it took a little more time to work out the details on this one that I had planned, and my wife, 16 years ago yesterday, with NO REGARD for the fact that one day I may be asked to manage a contest on an online pen forum, INSISTED that that was the day she had to give birth to our first son... I tried to get her to hold off until April Fools, Day, or even a Leap Year, but she was in a pretty selfish mood at the time, and I'm sorry you had to bear the inconvenience of that...:biggrin: Believe me, counting votes in this contest would have been my preference over a 12 hour party with 30 teenagers!!!!
Man this one was interesting to work out, and a tribute to some of the FANTASTIC work that was entered!!! I decided that based on the way things worked out, I am awarding the top 3 places bast on total votes of all photos entered. I made this decision after consulting with Eric Rasmussen (Sylvanite) as he was the only person affected by the different tally system. Basing the contest entry photos individually, he would have received both 2nd and 3rd place, and I would like to publicly thank him for keeping the Spirit of the Bash and agreeing to allow me to tally the votes as totals!!!
In 3rd Place, Winning Instant Glues from Satellite City (valued at $40) & 1 Box of Blanks from edman2 (value at least $25)
RBcarving, with "pok22.jpg" & "bolts22.jpg"
In 2nd Place, Winning a Honeycomb blank from Healeydays (valued at $60) & Sanding mill from rherrell (valued at $25)
Sylvanite with "AmboynaStatesmen.jpg" & "BlueGent.jpg"
And last, but really first in every way possible, is our 1nd Place winner who will receive an Apron, smock, cap from Timberbits (valued at $115)
plano_harry with "pen in the wood.jpg" & "pen in the wood open.jpg"
Congratulations to all!!!!! As I said before, the entries this year really kicked the bar up in many ways. Very few of us here are professional photographers, but that would not be readily apparent to many who saw these photos!!!
