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 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:
