Aside from a few bathroom and meal breaks, I've been working non-stop since my last blog post on getting the last of the entries processed and posted...and it's FINALLY finished!! All contest entries are now posted! If you do not see yours and/or have not received an official confirmation e-mail by now, please contact me ASAP.
Since my Photobucket account is getting perilously close to its 10 GB bandwidth limit, you're encouraged to use the above link to view the entries for the time being, in the interest of reserving what's left for the winners announcement. They are listed there in alphabetical order. (It provides the option of listing the pictures by upload date, but I'd already uploaded them in alphabetical order before I found that out. ^^;) Enjoy!

Judging Has Commenced!
Back at last!!!
For the last few days I've been down in Georgia with my brother, helping him get his stuff packed and hauled up to Missouri. The trip back was tense because we not only had a big moving truck to maneuver but a trailer hitched to the back with my bro's car on it! Thankfully, everything went very smoothly and we made it home with no problems. I appreciate everyone's patience during that time!
Getting back to business, I hereby officially announce the commencement of the judging process! Not sure how long this is going to take, but I anticipate having the results posted sometime next week. EEEEE, the excitement!! ^^ In the meantime, I'll also be posting the entries received while I was gone (for which entrants should be receiving confirmation e-mails today).
Stay tuned!

Deadline Details
The final day is nearly upon us! The clock's ticking, my nerves are frazzling, and the last-minute entries are streaming in! I'd like to take this opportunity to clarify a few details for everyone regarding the contest deadline:
Entries will be accepted through midnight the night of March 7, Central Standard Time. I'm going to be a little flexible on this since things like server downtime and delays beyond our control can and do happen, so if something comes in, say, a half hour late, I'll go ahead and take it. Just don't be trying to send me something next week and be all like "Did I make it?" 'cause I'll be all like "Uh, no."
Also, don't panic if you don't receive a confirmation e-mail for your entry before the deadline. I will probably be out of town again on the 7th, unfortunately, but incoming mail is timestamped, so I'll see that you got your entry in on time and will process it accordingly upon my return. If you don't receive a response by the end of the week, please leave a blog comment and let me know.
This is it--the final stretch! Best wishes on your tail-end entries! ^^

Nothing Escapes Murphy's Law
This week reeeeeeeeally isn't going as I hoped it would! I'm back from my trip, but a couple of other things have come up that HAVE to be done this week. With only three days left, it's the worst possible timing, I know, and I'm very sorry. This doesn't mean the contest is extended or anything like that, but it does mean that my response time on correspondence is going to be slower and that judging might be slightly delayed. I do anticipate still having it done by the end of the week following the deadline, though, as originally promised. I really appreciate your patience in the meantime. You guys have been great! I'll do my best to keep caught up and keep you up-to-date.

Boy, I have lousy timing. Starting this (Thursday) afternoon, I'm going to be out of town for the weekend, on a trip that was postponed from a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, there will probably be little to no Internet access where I'll be staying, so anything I'm sent in the meantime may not receive a response until I get back. Please allow me to extend my apologies in advance for this absence, especially being so close to the deadline. I promise to catch up as quickly as possible upon my return! 'Til then, take care, everyone!
