Model Coop contest: Organized and judged by Drumstick Diva because no one else wanted the job. Prizes will be awarded to the top four winners. Winners will be announced on this thread at close of contest March 14,2011. Winners will be personally contacted thru email or pm. At that time they must submit full mailing address so prices can be sent out.
Model coops do not have to be to scale but they must NOT be large enough to actually house live chickens. Serama people - no tricks !! Models will be 3D (no drawings), made of any materials( that are not banned by Homeland Security) ie, cardboard, poster board, legos, modeling clay, bricks, straw, styrofoam, bamboo, ice blocks, plus whatever else comes to mind.
ENTRIES: one model coop entry per participant. Entries will be the actual post of photos, coop name and BYC user name. In respect of BYCERS with dial up PLEASE
DO NOT SUBMIT huge photos. Entrant may post several photos of said coop to better show off features. A brief description should be included explaining points of interest. This contest is for model COOPS only. Run need not be included and will not enhance chances of winning.
JUDGING: will be at the whim and reason of Drumstick Diva. Coops will be judged primarily on CUTENESS FACTOR., cute being a subjective term it's a wide open field. Cute could be a well turned roost bar, a really chic nesting box, unique color, unusual choice of building material, little gimmicks or gizmos that the judge would like to play with., or none of those things depending on the mood when judge makes final selection. Judge's decisions are absolutely final, begging, bribery, threats will have no affect on her placements.
Prizes: will be awared for 1st.thru 4 th.place. First prize winners get to select his/her)prize from list of offerings. Second and third place winners will do likewise. Fourth place contestant gets whatever is left (sorry!)
