Winners are here!!! https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=1022475

Sorry this is taking a while, but I promise the wait will be worth it!!!

!UPDATE! The votes are in and we've decided we've received enough to pick a winner (or two)! We're going to tally them and make a final decision ASAP. A huge CONGRADULATIONS for all the submissions! I think every coop received at least one vote which is pretty amazing!! Stay tuned!

White Elk, you hit the nail on the head, it is VERY relative and very tricky. In general the only ones that are really clearly demarcated from the others is the "tractor" and that's just because it has wheels. A secret: In general we try to have the same # of coops in each section. So...

Quote: HAHAHA... Tiff, you freakin' crack me up! If GopherBoy is going to startup his antics again then we will guarantee a contest right after this one!

Thanks to you and all the others that are voting. Thanks to all the members who created such cool pages that will help hundreds of thousands of chicken owners for years to come! Don't worry, we'll continue to make this process easier in the future. As some of you know, I like to "fail...

ok unclejoe, here you go for that last suggestion: That is much more tricky thing to do. We'd love to have this all automated with really cool navigation buttons and voting features built in, but that's just too much time / energy investment right now. With that said, I dream about a...

Quote: That's exactly what we're going to try to do next time... have each member submit their coop into a specific size category.

Quote: I edited the rules so it is only one vote per coop. Sorry for the confusion.

Quote: Yup, you can vote up to 52 times (one vote for each coop). We are trying to get a feel for which coop designs people like best. Example: If you have 20 that you really you could: Give your absolute fav a 10 Give the next fav ones a 9 Give a couple more an 8 and give the rest...

Justin, I can add it to this contest or the next one... your choice. Firefyter-Emt, really sorry it got skipped. I think it may have been because the linked to page was blank: https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=3300. We've got it on the list on the front page now. Next...

Quote: Justin, was this submitted to the current contest?

Firefyter-Emt I fixed your page. The title had an apostrophe in it, so here is the new link / name: https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=3300-FF-EMTs_Coop Firefyter-Emt, did you submit this to the contest? If so, I can't believe it was skipped. We even had someone go...

vote for as many as you can! if you have only a little time, pick your fav and give it a 10, then your next fav a 9 and so on until you get to your least fav and give it a 1. if you have a lot that you really like, give top fav a 10, then a few others a 9 then a group of others an 8...

Great job! Looks like it took you about 20 mins to get through your favorites. We really appreciate everyone taking a little time to help us pick the winners!!

BTW, not very many people have voted, so the late entry doensn't really make a huge difference. BIG HINT TO EVERYONE We need more people to vote!!

Quote: Sorry about that. Going through 16 pages of posts grabbing links isn't super easy. We tried to make sure we got them all, but we know mistakes happen. Nothing personal.

If you guys are overwhelmed by the number of coops and aren't up to rating all of them, please at least try to rate your top 5 favorites.

Maybe next time we'll have some volunteers to pick out the best ones, but it really is a lot of work for just one or two people to go through all of them. Also, another reason to do it this way is to really get a good feeling for what coops the community likes best. If the people choosing the...

Quote: Now you know how we feel!!!! We were getting a lot of people wanting the winners announced ASAP so we thought we'd solicit the help of everyone (and also show how difficult it is to go through the process of picking a winner). If we can find a way to pick a group of finalists...
