Hey gang,

sorry it's taking so long. The contest was huge and there was an overwhelming amount of great entries. We're sorry we've been extending. This one just has an unusual amount of managing to do.

Hang in there!

ostomesto says:

congrats on the win. I loved your idea. Good job on the win, you really deserved it. Still bummed I didn't win anything. I really worked hard on the coat. It took me alot of hard work and 2 whole roles of extra large duct tape:(

Don't worry, just keep making 'ibles man!

ostomesto says:

NNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I DIDN'T WIN!!!!! not even a runner up. Man I worked so hard on that for so long just to be a finalist. I thought I was going to be a surefire winner. But I guess not. Seems like a huge waste of time and duct tape now. Well if they make this an annual contest then Ill keep trying. I thought you might get some sort of prize just for being a finalst.

Congrats to all the winners and runners up, you made some awesome stuff and did a great job. And to all the people who didnt win (like me) keep trying your bound to win sometime. I am still really dissapointed that i didn't win:(

ostomesto says:

Is there any word from scotch about the contest yet? Everyday feels like a week. Did say about how much longer till they decide?

6

Dec 14, 2010. 9:55 AM

ostomesto says:

oh your waiting from scotch for the judging. oh ok that makes a lot more sense. i really cant wait to see who the winners are. Thanks for the update on the judging. Cant wait for the word on the winners.

P.S. you should make this a annual contest, everyone would love it :)

Dec 15, 2010. 11:48 AM

ostomesto says:

that would be so awesome if they made this an anuual contest. i would enter every year. This is my favorite contest ever. Its also my only contest but its still awesome, we can all agree on that

Dec 15, 2010. 6:14 AMoverblast says:

ostomesto says:

i cant wait either. im a finalist so i check every second. wait it's 11:00 at night on the 11th. The winners should of been announced a while ago, where are they. im really confused abou this :( Can somebody explain this to me, is it like this with every contest? whats going on im confused:(:(

Dec 12, 2010. 3:41 PMyoyonut says:

How do you know if you are a finalist?

5

Dec 12, 2010. 5:20 PMfallental says:

You would have gotten an email message or there will be a banner on your 'inle that says "finalist"

3

Dec 12, 2010. 5:27 AMIam4NUru says:

well sometimes it's right away like with the kinetic sculpture challenge and sometimes it's a few days like the chow thanksgiving recipe contest.

5

Dec 11, 2010. 9:01 PMfallental says:

I would just be patient while they decide, this is my first contest so I have no Idea. Im sure they'll have them in due time

6

Dec 13, 2010. 1:30 PM

ostomesto says:

yea i guess. Its the 13th amd they first said they would announce it on the 6th so they have had a lot of time and should be announcing it soon. i wouldnt be to worried about it. they have had about 7 days to decide. it sould be posted very soon

Dec 10, 2010. 11:51 AM

ostomesto says:

AGAIN :( well ok it was a pretty big so i can see how it could be hard to manage all that. But you already have the finalist what else would you have to do other than just choosing the winners. There's probebly a lot more behind it than i know but thats all the stuff i would think you would have to do. Hope you can finish judging it soon. Good luck to everybody.

P.S. do you know how many more times you will have to extend it and how long it will be. thanks

Has the judging been extended again?

6

Dec 9, 2010. 11:49 AM

ostomesto says:

OMG they need to stop extending the judging it is so annoying.so yes they did. This is my first contest so the time it took to vote, judge, judge again, and again is so agonizing. I come sprinting home from school to find that its going to take ANOTHER day to judge it.

I'm sick of this they really need to stop extending the dead line because it's really annoying. This better be the last tim the extend it cause I have waited to long to find out i have to wait even longer

5

Dec 9, 2010. 3:38 PMAwesomeSwordGuy says:

i know right!!!
its my first also and i want to know the winners

3

Dec 9, 2010. 12:21 PMIam4NUru says:

Hey, Instructables Does their best and they do an awesome job. they have a small team so let's not bring them down. I mean it would be tough to judge such an awesome contest with so many great entries. So Let them take the time to judge and they'll choose some great winners .

Dec 9, 2010. 6:16 PM

ostomesto says:

oh sorry if it sounded as if i was rude to instructables but iam just really intense from all this waiting. But i love this site and could never be a hater, lol. a hater. but i actually was sorta friends with one of the editors and they are all really nice. My aploligies if i was rude.

sorry people of instructables.

Nelson_Yepez says:

the fact that they are taking so long just makes me think what a hard time they must be having, all finalist have great projects and after so much waiting the prize is going to be so much sweeter for the winners.

Dec 9, 2010. 1:51 PMrabidsquire2 says:

Yeah, I know..... I was just asking for clarification

Dec 9, 2010. 4:36 PMIam4NUru says:

Dec 7, 2010. 7:55 PMjmonty says:

so, have finalists been announced yet?

6

Dec 8, 2010. 9:16 PM

ostomesto says:

Hmmmm it's 12:13 at night where I live and they still haven't posted the winners. Maybe it's the time difference. And yes I did stay up till midnight or later to see if I won. I'm a finalist and I really worked hard on this. Anyways it's not much later than I usually stay up.

( without my parents knowing). Lol

Dec 8, 2010. 9:52 PMfallental says:

its hard to think you have any chances of winning when you see most of this stuff. i was really hoping people would like my duct tape winter jacket and duct tape rope but after entering them they didnt really live up to what i thought they would be. a lot of duct tape gone to waste. :( vote for my instructables duct tape jakcet and duct tape rope.
