We were just going to allow you enough time to make more prizes and acquire more nickels.
I'm thinking a 55 gallon drum, a 1963 Bel Air, a 1950s Phone Booth, you know, common objects everybody can relate to.

I did my best to find 'common everyday objects' to show the scale of the open nickel containers. I'll take any suggestion you have to offer for the objects whenever I approach my 20K contest.  How is your 10K contest prize box serving you? I hope you are still enjoying it! Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Participation Prize Drawing
Now is the time to award the two participation prizes.
By the rules:
"All players eligible for the participation prizes will be listed by me in an Excel spread sheet and a unique number assigned to their name in the range of 1 to n, with n being the number of eligible players.
I will then ask a non-eligible moderator to draw two random numbers from the range of 1 to n and post them in the contest thread. The players whose pre-assigned numbers correspond to the moderator drawn random numbers will be awarded the participation prizes."
I've shown all 20 of you above with a unique number.
A slight problem that I have now is that none of the 3 moderator players made the podium - unlike my 10K contest where jbuck was a podium winner and non-eligible for a participation prize.
I'm asking that you consider me as a non-eligible moderator - and I'll generate the 2 random numbers.
If I host a 20K contest I will make this change in the rules.
Stand by for the random number results:

Random Number ResultsInput criteria was two unique integer numbers in the range from 1 to 20 with no duplicates. And the result is:  The Participation Prize winners are 16 and 3. So, referring back a page to the random name assignments I find: 16 is loonielewy - Congratulations!  I now need to figure out shipping to a Canuck friend. I suspect that Keith now has ammunition to compare contest prize sizes - just saying.  3 is HondoB - Congratulations! I've always enjoyed your valuable contributions to the forum - and pleased that you'll get to enjoy one of my handmade items. You both need to send me via the CCF email function your mailing address. In Looney case, I need any special instructions for getting a smallish package across the border to you. I'm keeping this contest open until the prizes are conformed as delivered. Thank you all for participating in my contest. I've enjoyed sharing it with you.

The elves have been busy packing up prizes:  Prize shipments on the way to halfamind, loonielewy, HondoB and Petespockets55. I'll hold on shipping Zurie prize until Friday as agreed upon. I ask that the prize recipients check in here when they arrive to let us all know they made it safely. |
