Turkey Day SHOOTOUT Competition

[Govmnt_Lacky]

BTW, how many times can I enter?

As many as you would like. If you have 5 pedals you want to enter, that is 5 entry fees AND 5 possible chances of winning

[Jdansti]

BTW, how many times can I enter?

At least 8 times.

At the behest of some forumites, I am re-listing the prize pool for those of you who have joined us late 

PRIZES:

Prizes will be awarded in order of ranking. Basically, when all of the entries are judged, they will be given a final score. The 8 highest scores will be deemed the winners. The winner with the highest score will have his/her choice of prizes from the pool. When that person chooses then the next highest scoring winner will have their choice of the remaining prizes, and so on until the final winner (8th place) will receive the remaining prize.

Deadline for entry fees is 23:59 on October 18th. Contest ends at 23:59 on Turkey Day... November 22nd.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO ENTER!!! 

[pinkjimiphoton]

there is no limit to how many entries you can do, but you have to pay an entry fee for each circuit.

so...wanna ensure you win? enter 8 or 9 projects for 80 or 90 bucks, and odds are, seeing as how there's not enough entrants, you may well take one of the prizes home.

unless your stuff really sucks!! 

[digi2t]

Considering that an XP-1000, which pales in comparison to Greg's XP-ALL, goes for between 350 and 500 clams on EBay (when available!), I would enter at least 5 or 6 entries.

My Colorsound Vocalizer clone is already boxed, and ready to ship. Battery included! Just needs a winner.

Come on people, tangible prizes here, no guff!

If some of you are jaded from the "1000 Competition", this is the forums chance at redemtion. We're adamant on running a tight ship here. This is what will ultimately ensure that this competition succeeds.

Besides, personally, I value my name and reputation enough to make sure that this baby works properly. After all, my name and reputation is only thing that will remain after I'm dead and buried, so I don't feel like messing with that.

Word. I can attest to that.

I'm shocked that you guys have to do so much work promoting this contest when the awesome prizes speak for themselves!

It's beginning to feel as if this competition was called the "Touch a Leper Competition". 

[Arcane Analog]

I love these forum contests. Some of the most inspiring, entertaining and killer work out there comes from these. Looking forward to seeing the entries!

No. If it was called that, there would probably be 100+ entries by now.

+1 It really makes people bring out the big guns, and it actually makes me complete a build!

[Govmnt_Lacky]

This is the last time I am going to post about the following topic until October 18th.....

The submission deadline is the deadline. If builders want to wait until then to enter... that's cool! I can understand not wanting to put down your hard earned $10 unless you are absolutely sure! I can agree with that.

I will only attribute the "lack of entries thus far" to that fact!

Personally, I am far too busy to worry about it. I could be spending my time with the family or building some more boxes! 

I will say this, if we do not get the required entries by the required time... it will be a shame however, I will be comforted by the fact that we tried to do something good and honest for the forum, for Aron, and for us.

Also, it won't hurt to use some of the XP ALL eBay money to get a new axe!  I have been wanting one for a while now 

That is all from me regarding this subject until October 18th..... NOW GET SIGNED UP AND GET TO BUILDING!!!!!!

[Perrow]

+1 on how fascinatingly slow the contestants are dropping in. I mean I started a "donate to this site" thread and people donated well over a hundred dollars to Aron within days with absolutely zero chance of getting any money back. If you can donate, why not enter this comp if only to make sure someone will win.

[pinkjimiphoton]

people are just broke these days guys. i know sometimes i don't have 10 bux to my name.
give it time i guess, i'm not gonna keep pimpin' the party, if peeps don't want to, hey,
life goes on...and i can always keep my sterno face and give it to someone else.

but man...i'd think peeps would jump at some of the other prizes.

wtf

[pakrat]

I might pay for another entry just to beef up the pot, would that help at all?

[Mustachio]

Ill toss my hat in the ring

ill enter later tonight just hope I can make the deadline!

[Govmnt_Lacky]

...just hope I can make the deadline!

Well, you have until 23:59 on October 18th so....

Sometime tonight should be good! 

Remember... the more times you enter, the more chances you have to win these luxurious prizes!!

Sorry.. missed my calling as a Game Show announcer 

[haveyouseenhim]

ill enter later tonight just hope I can make the deadline!

You should... A lil over a month and a half is a good bit of time. Well at least for me since I don't have a job. Just GED classes   I aint too dern book smert, but I sure do know how to build them git-tar smashboxes.

[Mustachio]

Haha yeah I have time to enter but time to finish is another story. Been remodeling parts of my house on my own. lots of work I need to finish before it starts getting real cold. But I should be able to finish something up by T-day for the comp. I just wont sleep 

Also haha at the meme!

[midwayfair]

Just entered, and started designing something just for this. It might be completed just in time to be pedal #50 for me, provided I don't box up too many things between now and TG.
