I think I'm gonna take a nap now. Looking over coop pages for hours and hours makes me

My eyes are now officially crossed! Fortunately we were able to pick some winners (yup, plural)! Tied for first place, both of whom will receive $20 BYC Store Gift Certificates: jjamerb - https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=29322 chickcribs -...

UGH!! Just so you guys know, it is proving to be VERY VERY HARD to choose a winner!!!

Okay, the contest is closed! All the submissions should be listed here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/chicken-coop-new.html We'll be hopefully picking a winner in the next few days (boy this is going to be really really hard!).

Quote: Quadruple ditto! That's why I've had the same "temporary" coop for 5 years.

Here you go: https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=28793 I'll get it added to the contestest / the listing page today.

BTW, it looks like your coop is listed, it is the 11th coop on that page, right?

Nope. We manually have to enter them into the system so it is possible it was accidentally skipped. If you coop isn't listed in the link above please simply let us know the post # in this thread (top right of each post) of where / when you submitted it to the contest.

Okay, I think we've got all the submissions loaded and ready for the very very hard job of judging! Please take a look at the following link and make sure your coop submission is listed and that everything looks good (and take a look at the other coops and let me know if there are any...

We've got quite a few submissions, so this contest will probably close up soon. For those of you just starting or in mid process, don't worry... we'll always have coop contests going!

HAHAHA... "I'm gonna build a chicken coop!" BTW, I think I've got that same rolling chair from Harbor Freight Tools?

Much better!

Jason, that's fantastic. Can you use a larger image for that great plan you posted?

OH, I also noticed you resized the image inside the editor to make it smaller? That will also make it harder to read vs. full size.

Stephanie, that is looking fantastic! The one thing I noticed is that the image of your coop is tiny and hard to read: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/25815_coop-009.jpg I first thought our system had resized the image, but I see that it is a bit below our maximum filesize so...

You sure can. We have about 3-5 coop contests each year.

"pretty" does't make a coop design win. Good use of materials, great pictures and a great write up make the difference.

Depends on how good your pictures and information are and if you have plans, etc. but usually during construction is pretty important. Either way you should still create a page with pics and info to submit it so it can be added to the BYC Coop Design section so others can learn from your design.

Remember, to be eligible for this contest: 1) The images and the information must be posted into a BYC page 2) Images must be hosted using the BYC upload tool 3) A link to your BYC coop page must be submitted to this thread.

You can submit it even if it isn't done, but that's totally up to you. We'll make sure to give everyone a good amount of notice before we close the contest.
