Novice Builder award? Hell yes, I love getting put in my place. The rookies are doing some amazing things these days.

Took a look at the old threads and these are the categories we had last year. I bolded 3 I think need to be a part of plugfest. Though I do like having the several categories as it encourages people to build things that are out of the box. I think one way or the other a decision should be made on what categories are going to be included so people can get to building.

Best first year builder
Best representation/restoration of a classic
Best of show
Best hand carved
Wall Hanger
Most likely to catch a cow on its first cast
Novelty plug

I would think we keep at least most of the same categories, at least in spirit maybe combining some.

Best overall
Rookie Plug
Best Classic - homage to / restoration of - Steve was big into rebuilding old and dilapidated classics too. Interesting he won it every year (though tied for it some times)
Novelty Plug

We've generally varied the categories but these above I think best inspire the fest.

When you pay admission you get a ticket for door prize AND your simple voting slip and only those slips will be taken for the vote - that should keep it more simple


Just My Opinion

I'll pretty much support what is best (or what Slip tells me to do).

[Slipknot]

I agree with that John

so I guess we'll have 4 plug contest categories

best overall
best Flaptail plug in honor of Steve
best rookie
best novelty

I have a question. For the flaptail can we put a flaptail on another style of plug (ie surfster or spook) or do we have to stay to this
original flaptail style?

So is this what we came up with for ballots?

if so, that is what we'll do unless you want further discusion
