Scoochmaroo, I have a question regarding contests in general, and since you seem like a very friendly Instructables employee, I figured I'd ask you.

Do the votes from members equate to anything directly? Is it like the top X amount of vote-getters become finalists, or does it just make the judges take a better look at the highest-voted 'ibles, or what?

And if you're on double secret probation or something like that and can't talk about it, that's fine too.

The votes help us to determine half of the finalists, and the other half of the finalists are chosen by the staff (sometimes really awesome projects get overlooked by voters!). Then a panel of judges look over the finalists and determine the winners. The judges don't know how many votes each project got, so they are simply determining the winning projects based on quality and relevance.

Hope that helps!

Well, I didn't really expect to win. I was unable to get the ornament to look as good as I imagined it could... :-)

When I try to submit an instructable (I actually tried two), it says that "You have no eligible entries for this contest". Why is this? Please explain, because I'd love to enter an instructable into this contest.

BrittLiv says:

All your instructables have been published before the contest started, just write a new one and you will be able to enter it.

Thank you! (And good luck if you're entering in the contest! :))

I just submitted one 'ible to this contest. Are we allowed more than one entry? I'm making all my Christmas presents this year, so I have a couple I could add.

Dec 20, 2010. 7:36 PMlunius says:

you may have any number of 'ibles, and may enter them into all contests which the fit into. you may not, however, win 2 prizes.

Just a quickie, I have entered two I'bles that are Christmas gift themed one day after each other, I wonder if it has slipped through the system? My Christmas Pudding I'ble has been included but my truffles I'ble hasn't? Any ideas anyone? Could be that no-one hasn't got to it yet... but just thought I would raise it. :)

I know this is really dumb sounding but...how do you actually "enter?" I'm working on an 'Ible right now, but it's unpublished. Once I'm DONE do I then search here to enter, or must I START an Instructable through this page to enter? Thanks!
