Extreme Makeover - The Entries

[Pat Whatley]

Ummm....can we extend the voting a couple of weeks? My great comeback is taking a little longer than I expected.

I certainly hope that the lack of voting participation displayed in this contest, is not indicative of the participation or the lack thereof, at the voting booths in our public elections. It must just be a case of "putting it off until the last minute", I hope. VOTE NOW!

Actually Rex it is. Of the thousands of members here, I would venture to say that maaaybee 5% (possibly 10%) will actively vote on this thread. The same happens in local and national elections - BUT I am waiting 'til the last minute on here

Just thought I'd rub a couple sticks together here to see if a spark might actually jump out and set something, or someone ablaze!

There has been for some time. It's a battle for the other top finishes with prizes and bragging rights at stake.

The unfortunate thing about having a "run-away" winner is that a lot of would-be voters, figure why bother, and don't vote. Kind of takes the fun and excitement out of the contest at that point, but thats the way it goes sometimes. Oh well, at least we don't have to contend with "Hanging chads", late or missplaced bulk ballot returns and recounts at members expense. LOL

Those who have not yet voted do not see te vote tally until they vote.

Fred, just an FYI, I've been able to see the vote tally since the start and before I ever voted.

hmmmmmm

Hey Fred, I just read all six pages of this and I've got a great idea deciding a winner of the next design contest! You can just put the names of everyone who enters into a hat and draw a winner at random. There'd be a whole lot less crying then!

hmmmmmm

Might have something to do with the "View Poll Results" button under the poll?

Here are my notes as I perused the entries. 11 wow, 14 very nice, 21 creative title, rest well..., 23 attractive, like the post additions, 29 effective

Here's how I see it !

They're all really good, but some of us [including me] didn't follow the rules

of the contest and all of the design pre-requisites,

and therefore those entries should not be allowed to count.

I think Fred should cast those entries aside in the final decision and award the

prizes to those who submitted entries and abided by the rules of the contest

as they were layed out initially.

Harsh . . . but TRUE ! ! !

Having reviewed all of the entries over and over, again and again, based upon the supplied sign criteria and specifications, overall layout & design, use of colors, kerning/spacing, etc., etc., etc., in my honest opinion, the sign that really fits the bill and should be the "run-away" winner is #33 ...VERY, VERY NICE! (just my $0.02)
