OK all, it has fun been huh?
But the contests are over.
The plan was to run 20 contests, and I have now depleted my $100 budget for padded envelopes and shipping. Wow, I still have some books left, but have given away almost $500 worth of books!
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for playing. I wish I could have given a prize to everyone, especially those who entered so many contests, but did not happen to win.
There is of course, no way to be sure if my contests had ANY real influence in raising awareness for the ENnie judge voting, but we have had over 400 people vote so far this year, while I believe the 2 previous years were at about 250 voters. Looks like I'll be the first alternate (6th place) for the judging. That is actually only a couple places better than my results last year, so at least I'm improving!
Giving back to this community via these contests was gratifying. Perhaps I'll do something similar again someday.
Thanks again,
BFG
PS -- Oh, I thought you might appreciate seeing the dice that did the deciding, and a picture of the swag too. I'll be mailing out the winnings in the next couple of days: ( see this post for the picture thumbnails: http://www.enworld.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1388840&postcount=1045 )

I have been holding a series of contests (at least one/day) where the winner selects their own prize(s) from a list of over 50 different d20 products!
One reason for these contests was to raise awareness for my bid for ENnie Judge, and the ENnie judging voting. The other reason, is that I thought it would be a pretty cool way for me to give a little something back to this great community - The best I have found on the net.
The ENnie judge voting is being held at the linked thread below, which also contains a link to the "campaign speeches" where candidates explain why they would like to be a judge, and why they are suited to the task.

DISCLAIMER: "By winning or playing, you are under NO obligation to vote for me as an ENnie judge"
Hopefully my contests will also raise awareness for the process in general. We need more people to be involved in voting for ENnie judge. I really only want people to vote for me if they feel I am one of the best candidates.

THE FINE PRINT:
-I will ship anywhere, but at the cheapest rate possible, so if you live in Russia, be prepared for a few month wait! I will not be shipping books to any of the winners until all the contests are over, so I can do it all in one trip to the post office.
-You may enter once per contest unless otherwise noted
-Multiple winners ARE allowed ( You can win more than one contest - If you are lucky! )
-By winning or playing, you are under NO obligation to vote for me as an ENnie judge
- If Morrus thinks there are any ethical problems here, he can let me know, and I'll withdraw my bid for ENnie judge nomination. But the contests will continue either way! At least 20 of them over the next two weeks as I am available.
