Hello Stan,
Wow! Great response to your contest!
I have a question for you.
I think I know the answer, but want to be sure.
You are judging the contest AS A WHOLE.
Meaning that out of ALL the entries in ALL categories your panel of esteemed judges will pick the top 3 best hubs.
I ask this because I am in the middle of writing my second entry. I deliberately chose a category that has not (as of yet) been flooded with superb entries from other hubbers.
My thought was I could "own" the question if no one else chooses to write on it.
However, in writing a hub response to another question, am I not, in fact, lessening the odds of my first entry winning?
I am not generally one for competing against myself!
I am a very sore loser when I beat myself.
Anyway, I was wondering if, in addition to your three VERY GENEROUS prizes you might consider offering "honorable mention" to the top entry in each of your 16 categories.
You know us hubbers. We are all about recognition and bragging rights
.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours sincerely, MMM
