Morning everybody!!!! I apologize for the delay in getting the contest up and running this month, it's been really hectic the last few weeks!!! One of the kiddo's started college, (THAT was a fun road trip in the snow....), several beginning of the year projects at work, you know how it goes, lol!!!
Anyway, with no further ado.......here are your entrants to the YJOTM for January 2017!!!!
Also posted is some updates to the procedures for YJOTM going forward. Again I would like to apologize if any of them are an inconvenience, but at the current time, I've just got too much on my plate to continue running it as I was before.
2017 NOTICE:
Heads up guys, going forward, there are going to be a couple of changes in how I am able to administer the contest.
1) Due to time constraints, I will be unable to correct your entries in the future. What you send me is what will be posted. The posting requirements/instructions have been posted up at the beginning of each and every YJOTM thread that I've put up. And they will continue to be posted. Anyone who chooses not to read or follow the instructions, I apologize but I will not have the time going forward to go back in and correct your entry so that the pictures will work.
Detailed instructions are below, but in short, I need your tags from a Photobucket account in order to make your photo's click free. I understand that there are many photosharing sites available, but Photobucket is one of the few that happens to work on the PC that I run the contest from.
2) This year, the winning entry for the YJOM each month will go into the YJOTY contest unchanged, and unmodified. As I got to discussing the issue, and thinking about it, I realized that it is unfair to the winners from late in the year (November, December, ect…) if the guys from the beginning of the year have had an additional several months to update/upgrade their rig.
I apologize if these changes are an inconvenience to anyone, but I am currently working 2 jobs just to stay afloat, I simply do not have a lot of time to go back and do extra work to make these entries appear flawlessly when the instructions have already been posted.
