Best restore of a classic plug, must provide before and after photos
"Gotta start somewhere" - Best first year builder


What do you guys want to see? I'll make up the ballots etc.

Its also been suggested that each person receive a ballot when the walk in the door/pay. Having the blank ballots in a pile by the lures folks were voting for like 2 or 3 lures at a time on some ballots. Filling out multiple ballots.

Maybe this way, everyone gets in all their votes at one shot.

all that and a creative category...

gotta start somewhere award. for the best first newbie plug

all that and a creative category...

Done:lama:

Done! Thanks Flap!:thanks:

What do you guys think about maybe a write in area for builder of the year? You know someone you feel has really contributed to the forum etc? Its just a suggestion I figured I'd throw it out there. :)

Vic, I like the idea for the most helpful to the forum idea.

Also, check your PMs. Thanks.

I think all of them are great categories.

How about the WTF is THAT supposed to be award? We could re-name it the Dad 818 award. :D

I am having trouble deciding which plug to enter and the categories are so wide that 1 plug can't meet em all. Can we enter more than 1 ??

I think it's been done before. I was planning on entering two myself. I don' t see why someone can't win multiple categories. It's done in the Olympics and this is the Olympics of plug building!

Course, I will bow to the officials as it makes more work for them and it wouldn't be fair if they had to work all day at it and not get to enjoy the day like the rest of us bums.

Thier decision. They would know best.

Last year we did two.. I sure hope so, as I built two, I'd hate to have ti decide..

I'll come and judge them, I'll bring an empty bag and I will gladly accept bribes : )

Anybody got a plug monkey they could bring to watch the plugs on that table?:whackin:

multiple entries are cool with me, lets just not get out of control and submit 1 for each category. :jump:

I think a limit of two plugs keeps it sane...JMHO

2 is cool with me? I'll second that motion passed LOL and if anyone made 4 or whatever already we'll grandfather them in for this one LOL :laughs:

Would be nice if digital pictures could be taken of The catagories

The pictures would be nice for the far away members that can't make it. Especially the Best first year builder for the newbie's like me. Hope to make one some day

you got it nipi we always try and take pictures :buds:

Being new to the whole plug building addiction, would it make sense to create a category for airbrushed vs. cans? not sure if this makes sense but I see the work that you guys are doing with airbrushes and it blows my mind. Not exactly certain the ratio of airbrushers/can guys or if it would warrant a category.:huh:

How about "Biggest piece of Junk" ... might score my 1st win ..

Thought that is why Dave was coming

How about "Biggest piece of Junk" ... might score my 1st win ..

I might give you run for that trophy on that one.:shocked:

How about a category for exotic wood species, just a thought.:huh:

goo goo that would be under artistic no?

This is what we have for categories. If everyone is cool with the options etc. I'll work on getting ballot forms created tonight. Say cut this off around 7pm so everyone can take a look?

How about "Biggest piece of Junk" ... might score my 1st win ..

I know I could dig up more than one that might fit that category...

Damn. I already heated my parents house for 2 weeks. :jump1:
