After some serious thinking, time for Awards

     We usually get the contest started before we get prizes (hence we call them "sur-prizes" -- once we get them, we'll have a Prize page). We like to give out as many prizes as we can, so prizes will be awarded as follows:

  • Overall -- First Place, Second Place, Honorable Mention and Peoples' Choice recognition may be awarded, depending upon submissions.
  • By Category -- First Place recognition will be awarded in each of the eight categories. Other awardees may be identified depending upon submissions.

    Everyone loves pictures of old trucks. We certainly have lots of them all over this site. But this contest is about illustrating ... The Big Lie.

    Everyone who's been around this hobby longer than 15 minutes has heard it when responding to an ad in the paper or stopping to check out an old truck on the side of a country road with a "For Sale" sign in the window ... The old guy (or gal) comes out and tells you ... "It's a good ole truck and it ran when I parked it."

    Of course Calvin Coolidge was president at the time, but no matter -- even though it's a complete wreck and Barry Weeks would probably make a flower planter out of it, the truck MUST be worth $25,000 because ... It Ran when I Parked It!

So, check out some of his pointers and see if it'll improve your game some!
