Fellow Shadow Watchers, What began as an idle thought seems to have taken early root with two fine entries ALREADY!! - and the 'suggested rules' were only intended to stimulate interest and further discussion at this stage!!
As the originator, although Pete Swanstrom must take some *dis*credit!! (just kidding Pete) for sparking the idea off in the first place, I suppose I must volunteer to act as Clerk and Collection Depot for entries unless anyone else would care to volunteer?? - a sincere request as I have plenty to keep me out of mischief. If there are any further suggestions for the rules/structure/timing/judging etc. can we have them via The List asap for open discussion. Suggestions for potential judges would be especially welcomed. In the meanwhile I think it may be better if entries are sent directly to me to be published collectively AFTER the judging panel has finished its work. All entries will be acknowledged. The prize has just left the design stage and ought to see actual brass within a couple of weeks but if anyone would like a GIF of a line drawing of what's on offer I'll attach one on request. Many thanks for offerings and suggestions received so far. Tony Moss
