Meteorite Collectors do it with their rocks dude. A place to fall. Besides striking down the occasional mother in law at a crucial moment (this is more of a job for Thor), I would have loved something to fall in the days when meteorites were not thought to come from the sky, and definitely not from space. Shock horror! Anything to stir up some ancient priest, as he's about to sacrifice the astronomer.

Apologies if this message gets posted twice - I sent it from the wrong mail account before: Hi all, I haven't read the other entries, 'cause I didn't want to get influenced, hopefully I'm not duplicating anybody elses ideas. I came up with two possible competitions: 1. 'Meteorite Collectors Do It Insert Words Here!' - Come up with a suitable and witty slogan for a meteorite collectors tee-shirt, Lot's of people on the list have great senses of humour, this would let them shine. (Obviously the slogan doesn't need limiting to the 'collectors do it...' format) 2. Incoming!!! - If you could choose a time and place for a meteorite to fall (historical or in the future): When, where and why would it be? I think the first is probably my favorite (requires very little indepth knowledge of meteorites which suits me better, and the entries should give us a laugh :) but i've put two since there have been lots of entries already - hopefully one of these is original. Thanks also to the regular posters on this list, i've learnt a lot by lurking in the background...

Hello Anne and list, Thank you everybody for there suggestions. Us as a group have came up with more suggestions then I ever could. I would like to comment on Anne's last couple lines ...we could either let Mark decide which one is the winner, or he could ask the List-members to vote. His decision. The winner of this contest will decide what Contest #7 will be. However, after that, if the group likes or cares to...I would like to turn the Meteorite Contest #'ing thing over to the list. Meaning that anyone could come up with a prize and a contest for Contest #8, ect. I think this has been a good way for the list members that are usually quiet to e-mail the list and feel more of a part or those that are new to meteorites to e-mail the list. It is a great way to get to know each other. I will continue to run the contest every so often as long as there is interest, so I am not saying I'm backing out or quiting or the like, but I would like to offer it to other Big Collector's and fellow meteorite sellers. Plus if someone else ran a contest then I could enter:-) What do you think? I would also like to see group voting at some time if possible. I tried one time to get group voting and did not think I got enough response. (again) What do you think?

Hi Mark, How about a word puzzle? For instance, you could give someone a word or phrase and have them spell it out with meteorite names or locations. For example, if the word was "meteorite" you might come up with: M - Murchison E - Eagle Station T - Taza E - Etter O - Ourique R - Rumuruti I - Ibitira T - Toluca E - Esquel This could be done with variations like - Only use irons, stones, H5s, falls, finds, North American, African, etc. You could announce ahead of time when you will post the phrase, so everyone who wants to participate could be waiting on line. People could prepare ahead of time by gathering materials, but they wouldn't know the word or phrase until you posted it. Then the first person to geta correctresponse posted back to the list or to you would win. I think it would be fun!

The hints for the names of the meteorites could be as simple as something that could be found in the Bulletin, or as complicated as would require an exhaustive search of the internet.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Contest #6 - FREE NWA869
Mark- How about an internet "easter egg hunt" Give us a clue and a link to a site with another clue. Dealers might be interested in helping you out with this by placing an egg on their website. Allowing mass traffic through the page of their choice is FREE ADVERTISING. The ultimate destination would be the URL of the meteorite prize, or GPS coordinates on a map, or a lady named Ester to represent Esterville, etc. First one back to the list with the answer takes the prize. A bit of setup but a good bit of fun and dealer support. Something like that.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Contest #6 - FREE NWA869
Mark, I think some of the suggestions so far are great! Contest suggestion: Persons can submit ONLY ONE photo of their favorite meteorite from their personal collection.(might be more difficult as everyone does not have camera). Those without digital could mail you a photo. Many Winning categories, Best small Iron, Best large iron, nicest stone micro, Best oriented, etc, etc. Since you are the judge you can determine the category based on the entries received. (One favorite from each collection would hopefully present a wide variety of entries.) This may take longer as persons may have to process and mail photos...But everyone would enjoy seeing the others' one favorite. Simple contest suggestion:(1) Pre-announce date and time of Contest (Like Sun 8th 5 PM EST) At that time you would quote a sentence from Rocks in Space or CEM (Everybody has Rocks in Space). The first to email you the correct page # is the winner.

For an example, a contestant might wish for a fall to occur at Quartzite, Arizona so he/she could collect the first Quartzite meteorite.
