This year we will have also a special "People's Choice"-award! :)
Your task is to read through all the build threads and vote who will get that award. I have read them all, couple of times, and still can't decide the winner. We have so many great builds and entertaining stories. Contestants have performed very well!
To make it a bit harder for you, there are no categories in this award!
That's right. You will be voting for a single best build in the whole competition - and the winner will get K40t from hc-lights.fi
Voting starts now and ends after one week (= 7 days) 2015-10-16 23.59 (UTC).
This ones gonna be tough. In fact, I think I will have to resort to the dart board to make my choice.
First of all, thank you to everyone involved for putting out time and effort and taking the plunge.
In the machine made category I like them all but have a personal bias towards smaller lights so the Kralyevski triple is on the board along with Steve’s 4x4(if I ever got an SRK I’d want it like this), Dale needs to be on there for a magnificent first effort, and I can’t leave out vestureofblood even though I’m not a fan of that style it’s just too epic to leave out.
Hand made this year is ridiculous as there was no clear winner. Everyone showed incredible imagination, patience, meticulousness(?), skill, and determination. Lanceman showed how elegant simplicity can be, n10sivern how enough just isn’t as long as there’s time for more(for a first timer one for the ages), FMC also delved deep into uncharted waters to bring us something completely new, and alp88 with yet another of his isthataplywoodflashlight wonders.
This isn’t a bump but an acknowledgement that the now finished builds are deserving of a lot of careful consideration(also don’t have a dart board and need to visit the local pub to finalize my vote though I suppose a nail gun might do).
So will the PCA be issued to a non winner selected by the BiAnnual Cabal of Judges? or can one of the winners from the BiAnnual Cabal of Judges also win the PCA?
humm What is more fair? To additionally award great work (one of the top two) or to award basicly third place as the (BACofJ) will already be selecting the two top winners (in essence first and second).
and who decides? the members, or the BACofJ?
beleive it or not I am not trying to cause trouble, but the question did arise in my mind.
I think they are separate awards and could be doubled up on some lucky and skillful build. Supposedly the judges are looking at certain criteria where this is more which one do you like most.
I hope it’s just because there are a lot of builds to read. Come on guys, the least we can do is acknowledge the outstanding work done by reading the threads and voting!
but the question did arise in my mind.
