Agreed, Brunch on the Rocks is hilarious!

Yep, just barely got my last entry in!

Good Luck!

Thank you! :)

I agree!

We should have a massive insturtables potluck...I want to taste so many of these ibles!

Oh my goodness! What a wonderful idea, I want to try so many of these dishes too! And getting to meet everyone would be such a blast.

If you posted yesterday (I did as well), it appears that the moderator has not approved/posted all of the entries yet..?

I hear you - it's frustrating to have just missed a contest! That's why we're trying to let you know ahead of time what's on the contest calendar. Keep an eye on the author newsletter for updates.

On the other hand, you don't want to have to compete against 50,000 previously-posted projects! Date cut-offs can also work in your favor.

Likely because the contests are about driving new and high-quality (hopefully) content; people want to win something, so they create a new instructable that fits the theme, and make it as good as possible.

I suppose you're right in that some people will make a set of high-quality instructional and hope that a contest that fits them pops up.

A compromise would be to let people enter 'ibles that are new, ie, less than a month old or something. That wouldn't stop hoarding, but it might soften the blow of publishing something and having a contest come up RIGHT afterward...

Of COURSE ! :-)

I am! Do you have a good one? I like good waffle recipes!

Sorry if this was already addressed, but can we submit multiple entries? I love to cook! =]

Yes, according to the rules, although you can only win one prize. Good luck!

Correct! Enter away. ;)

Please!
That would give my an excuse to buy the waffle maker....
:-P

There is a BIG (epic) typo in the code behind the link.

"http://ttp://www.facebook.com/lecreuset"

Should be "http://www.facebook.com/lecreuset"

I doubt that it will be fixed in time to lead us to the correct place before the final deadline. *sigh*

I'm with you on that one, and my "little one" is 28 years old!!!

Its called on mothers day, the "mother" is treated like a princess, waited on hand and foot, every desire and or wim met by all. Thats how it is in my house, why go to the trouble of getting into a crammed restaurant, complete with everyone elses squeezed in families when you can bring brunch to the mom, on her time. Hope you got your nap!

Thanks... I did get a nap :)


Sometimes when people have medically needy little children, it's not possible for any adult in the house to get waited on hand and foot, even for a day ;)

Can you put that in the contest info? I did enter my instructables because I was not aware of it.

Oh boo. Umm...how come my entry was accepted then?

That kinda only applies if you win, also, if you can provide a U.S. address you can win your prize. i.e. The editors don't need your country unless you win.

Awesome - thanks for the tip - will definitely keep that in mind.

There are plenty of contests for people who are not U.S. residents. Please don't suggest cheating in order to decrease the odds of those who are eligible for this one. I'm a U.S. resident who is not entering this one, but let's keep it fair. Thanks.

Whoa, totally not what i meant. What I was getting at - #1 Technically those living outside the United States are indeed allowed to enter; they just can't receive prizes from the sponsor due to regulation, taxes and or shipping legality issues. However the Instructable prize pack would still be awarded as it is sent separate from the sponsor. #2 When i referenced (but... perhaps those living outside of the U.S. could set up some sort of trade thing with someone living there.) I was referring to the fact that if a person living outside the United States were to win, the prizes from the sponsor can be sent to a person living in the United States. This person could then on there own send you something in return for the prize, IE the trade, or the person could be a charity - in which case you are just doing something kind. Send it to a orphanage, kitchen that feeds the homeless, that sort of thing. I hope this clarifies things, not meant it to be "cheating" as there really isn't a lot of personal gain for this contest. Perhaps the moderator and/or sponsor could respond to this, with a yay or nay or even just a "you probably shouldn't do this message". Was meaning to be helpful, not decrease peoples odd of winning.

Thanks for clarifying, and I apologize for not giving you the benefit of the doubt when I misunderstood your suggestion. If non-residents can legally enter and win a contest, I completely agree that there should be a way for them to enjoy the prize or even the satisfaction of knowing that a charity can benefit from their creativity (which is extremely generous of you). In that regard, I hope that you do enter and I wish you the best of luck with this : )

I found your comment to be a very good and inventive way for international participants to enter and even do something good with the prize.

and your pictures and food are amazingly lovely; once I saw them, I figured there wasn't much point in me trying to enter... ;)

Thank you!!!
I LOVE taking pictures of what I cook as much as cooking it!
:-)
Do enter the competition though, I'd love to see your recipe/photos!

I think it depends on the contest. Some of the prizes from sponsors can't easily be shipped to other countries, possibly due to import laws or taxes... I'm not exactly sure.

Due to a lack of information indicating otherwise (and the fact that this is asked on nearly every contest) I would think international entries are probably okay. But then again, you know what free advice on the internet is worth...
