I Thank “The” in advance and I think he really captures the Ol Curmudgeons Spirit.
With that said I assumed (yes I know that does not mean “true”) that one of the underlying assumptions/goals is to have the greatest number of persons/lights entered completed efforts. My specific point is that contest entries should only be allowed once (but when an entry is not completed on time) it seems to me that with the exception of “time range” upon adhering to the balance of rules that person should have the option to enter once officially.
To put it differently I find it unfair to (via the rules) negate all the hard work that was done for a prior contest entry (when that Light was not completed i.e. “not officially evaluated as part of the contest”) to be eliminated as an option for the next (or other proceeding years).
Bottom line it is a lot of time and expense and upon complying with the rules of the contest (as noted except the time frame) it should be fair for each light and “entrant” to have its/their day.
If I understand what you mean, you believe or propose that any previous years project that was not completed by that contest years deadline should be allowed to be entered in this years contest. Sort of like dropping out of the Boston Marathon in 2017 and then being allowed to enter the 2018 marathon at the position you stopped in 2017?
Is there a thread where I can see past winners, like a Trophy Thread ?
I may not enter this yr because I was unaware this existed and thus am ill prepared with no reflector in hand.
But I may still try.
I would love to enter the contest for the first time. I have some very interesting things in mind but there is too much to figure out to have it done in this timeframe… And I will probably dont have enough time anyway.
I will follow this, and good luck to the participants.
Bumpity-bump, MRsDNF. I’m mentally sorting through the 2 or 3 ideas I came up with. The one that seems most likely to come out on top seems to involve more assorted wood pieces than metal. :laughing:
I will open a build thread when I decide which way to go.
