Head over to the LOVES page, check out the rules and get subbin'! We'll be accepting submissions up until January 31, 2008! Not only have we amped up the cash goodies for this challenge, we're also including a wholesome barrelful of community donated items for the Grand Jury Selection! Head over to ladrones' original blog for a constantly updated booty list.

speedyjvw on Dec 12 '07 at 4:18pm

bortwein on Dec 12 '07 at 4:21pm

They should post that Part about one design only BIGGER on that page.

chelly on Dec 12 '07 at 4:30pm

if you have time for more than one revolution, you're probably doing it wrong

thunderpeel on Dec 12 '07 at 4:37pm

haha, too true, chelly

thunderpeel on Dec 12 '07 at 4:42pm

BlameTheSuburbs on Dec 12 '07 at 6:03pm

So the winning design gets printed? Those three judges have a lot of power here. I hope they will be fair.

kaloyster on Dec 17 '07 at 9:43pm

I just read the "avoid list" and noticed that "one tree"

Are you guys talking about Dan Rule's Tree?

stubby43 on Dec 17 '07 at 10:16pm

I'm really looking forward to this and I might submit to it.

Sgt.Dobad on Dec 18 '07 at 5:20pm

what tree is that 'one' tree?

staffell on Dec 19 '07 at 4:34am

it's obviously the predicament tree

tesco on Dec 19 '07 at 4:44am

I thought it meant a christmas tree

roadkill3d on Dec 19 '07 at 4:50am

fatheed on Jan 03 '08 at 12:00pm

There seems to be some confusion.

It is one sub per person, or one sub per account?

If it is one sub per account - which would allow people to sub multiple times from multiple accounts, then I can't really see the point in the rule.

(matthijs) on Jan 03 '08 at 3:52pm

from the guidelines:

You may only have one entry so make it good.

seems to me only one per person

Montro on Jan 03 '08 at 3:55pm

hmmmm *checks subs*

pyr4lis on Jan 03 '08 at 4:19pm

Oh my! This is so exciting it's making me want to enter something! Only there are so many awesome designers who've put in their subs already I don't know if I should even bother :P Oh well I may try anyways.

Flying Mouse on Jan 03 '08 at 7:35pm

Yeah, I'm confuse too. I have submited 2 designs in a different account. Anyhow, it is fine for me if 1 person 1 sub, because the second sub still can run as a regular sub.

So is one sub per person, or one sub per account?

jean_warhol on Jan 03 '08 at 8:34pm

i think its 1 per person, unless its a collab

ladrones on Jan 03 '08 at 8:39pm

one per person. sorry.

Flying Mouse on Jan 03 '08 at 8:41pm

Thanks for the info, ladrones ;)
