Thanks to everyone for participating. It was fun overall and we had some nice entries.
I personally voted for #9...but the masses have spoken.

Congrats to MacCrimmon, Cacheman, and CarlWohlforth!!!

Let me confer with the sponsors to get the prizes together and I will be in touch with all of you.

Hopefully sponsorship will grow as the contest does!! image

  • Thanks John for working on this. I learned a lot and enoyed myself. Please, no prizes for 3'rd place! I am super happy I received so many votes and that is way more than enough reward for me.

    Thanks to John for this idea and also for the considerable work involved in piecing this poll together.

    Also, a big thanks to John for personally hosting the YH Crown.

    And yes, some bits were slightly scrambled in the JPEG during the email transmission. So, remember to always WINZIP those files before launching them into the Ether.

    Congrats also to Cacheman and Carl, and the other fine images displayed in the poll, and many thanks to those who voted for Victoria.....I assure you, she would bestow a Title and Lands upon you but she's lost her Reign for now! image

    Lastly, please forward my prize on to FrattLaw for his YN Giveaway.....thanks again! image

    DG,

    Glad I made you happy!!

    Also, thanks to Russ for hosting alot of the pics... I was at work when I posted the thread and couldnt wsftp the files to the server... Russ did it for me!!

    I will forward the prize I was going to send to frattlaw for the YN giveaway. Cacheman and Craton should send theirs there as well since they volunteered to throw in some prizes!!!

    How does that sound for everyone?

    John
  • Again, Thanks to John for thinking this up and putting it all together.

    Sounds like a few other Thanks need to go out to.

    Thanks Russ, for supporting this contest with your server space and efforts to get it going.

    And Thanks to the weiners image for donating their prizes to Michaels YN contest !! image

    I wish i had both the talent and a decent camera to have added my contribution. Oh well, Maybe next time i'll have upgraded the camera. Just have to work on the talent part image

    Thank you Coinlieutenant for overseeing this contest - I realize the scope of it was a challenge!

    And Congratulations to the Winners and all others who participated - I think these images will set the bar fairly high for future contests.

    I will gladly take credit for my pic - even though it was beaten by a foot (although it wasn't the first time I've been trumped by someone with a tube sock!).
