We are on the case and have three independent judges looking at the entries, Thelma, Phoenix and Danny.

I don't suppose you'd give us any hints on how to bribe the judges, would you?  :)

Well I suppose we could, can I come and stay for a fortnight?

The second judge is getting there, slowly.

My door's always open!  I've got an extra bedroom, but you'd have to share it with my balloons.  Hope you don't mind.  :)

Whiskey or cold hard cash?? Not much to choose from then  ;). Although I'm not a judge if anyone feels like passing any spare my way I won't complain  :)  :)

Judge number three has sent in the results so we are just waiting for a few more results from judge number two.

I was planning on putting names in a hat so that it does not matter if you have been twisting for 2 months or 10 years.
The scoring system is for every picture/sculpture entered your name will be on a piece of paper and be one vote, so if you entered two models you will get your name in the hat twice. Those that win each competition will get three extra votes, second, two extra votes and third one extra vote. Then I will add your name for every single question you got right in the last comp about Buster Balloon. I think this is fairish but we will not do the draw till Monday so if you disagree please get in touch with suggestions. For those that did not get the chance to have another go at the questions due to myself not sending you a PM I will add an extra vote in the hat for you.
