1. The dead line is the 25. I'm going to make it 12:01am WST. (I gave real though about pushing it back for to something like the 31st for my sake, since I'm coming to this so late, but that isn't fair to all of you, so it will stay the 25th.) However, voting may not start on the 26th. My Moms Bday is the 26, and I will be spend my free time with her, so pics will probably be posted on the 27th or 28th. (sorry, but got to be good to Mom. )
You can join the contest right up to the end. (so none of this, "is it to late for me to join", or "I would have joined but it's to late" business. You have right up to the dead line to join in, so please do so.)
$20. = 20 of any other currency. (there have been like a thousand post asking about this, even though it's ben answered over, and over again.) It's about having 20 cheep items, not about conversion rates. the max for each item is $3.00 The max is limit is $20. (or 20 pounds, etc, etc, etc,) This is excluding tax, shipping, etc.
Unless Darth comes bak, the helmet is off the table as a prize, but if anyone wants to donate anything, large or small, I will take offers through the end of the voting period.
If you post pictures of your entry in this thread, or any other, before the contest is over, I am going to disqualify you. (I'm sorry, but this is an anonymous contest, and posting pics in advance, or revealing withc one is your, is unfair for a number of reasons.)
You need to send me (or Darth if he comes back) your pictures via e-mail to jedimasterjpb7@aol.com, or by PM.
Since I've only received one entry so fair, I'm going to set the limit at 3 pics of your finished reactors. Along with pics of all receipt, and either a pic of all the parts before building, or some build pics. (the
receipts, and parts pics are for proof, they will not be posted in the voting thread, but they are required.)
If you send in more then 3 pics of your reactor, that is fine, but I will pic the 3 that get used. (I am a photographer by trade, so I know what I'm doing) If you send in less the 3 of your finished item I will post what you send in, but your are doing yourself a disservice.
I will allow collages, but I will not require them. (some folks don't even no how to post pics, I'm not going to ask them to edit them) However, there can be no more then three pics of your finished reactor in the collage, and the collage will count for as many pics are in it. (i.e. if there are 2 pics in your collage, you can still enter another single pic, if you have 3 pics in your collage, then your done. except of course for your "proof" pics.)
Those are the main things I can think of right now, but feel free to ask any questions, I am here to help.
On, a side not, their have been a lot of folks saying they can't find anything at the store to work with. No offence, but that shouldn't be a problem. These aren't Prop, or even hardware stores, they are dollar stores. You can't expect to go in and buy exactly what you want. it's about MacGyver build! I find it helps if you don't draw up your plans in advance, just go and let the parts talk to you. The guy that won the LS contest, made an amazing saber, the blew peoples mind. Then after the contest was over we all found out that it was made of placematts, cardboard tubes, Pens, and other things, you would have never guest it was made of in the end. I kept hoping some one would do a chocolate saber, but no-one did. (maybe they will in this years contest. ) I know it's a little late for a pep talk, but i just thought I should put it out there.
Feel free to start sending your entries any time.
Oh, and once again, Darth, I hope you, and your Dad are Ok, and feel free to come back any time, I'm just keeping yoru seat worm. .
