So the Queen of Mediocre now needs to think what the punishment will be. Think of some object or whatever that the other members must include with their next entry. The entry MUST be submitted in a challenge within the next week.

You must also decide on a second object for the Court Jester to include in their entry.

You must send your decision to me for approval. Please do not forward the punishment onto the members or to anyone else, so as to maintain anonyminity. I will forward it onto the members once I approve your choice.

Also...members you are to keep the punishment to yourselves also to prevent identification of entries during voting.

And finally, here are the entries.

I hope you all had fun. I would also like to say that I won't be running another one for a while as I am so snowed under with work at the moment that I am struggling to find the time to spend on here. I do apologise and I hope that someone can come forward and run one soon for you all.

Thanks for all the fun.

Cheers

I don't think it'll be going out on a limb much to state for everybody that we appreciate all the hard work that Judi did, and the wonderful creativity that you brought to this challenge in the form of the lovely awards and the enjoyment factor.

Speaking as someone who has a 5.2022 avg. vote received to this point, it's nice to be "In the Money" for a change and to enjoy being mediocre.

Thanks ever so much Judi, you'll always be a champion in my book!

Yay, I won! I kept bouncing around the target score, but I wasn't sure if I would win or not.

Now the question is how do I put my award into my bio? (Yes you can tell I'm still a newbie around here)

Hey guys...thanks for everything. I had heaps of fun and feel really bad that I have to pass this on for now. I actually had a good day yesterday...I was also presented with a beautiful big floral display and thankyou balloon, during a meeting...it was a lovely surprise..and then to wake with your beautiful words...thankyou!

Kim...I have PM'ed you with some instructions...but in the meantime, yes...just copy the text in your award code and paste that into your bio...it will link directly to your winning challenge.

Once I have received Kim's instructions I will forward it on to everyone else.

In the meantime...happy shooting.
