Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013-2015 - Official Thread
-
Ideally, and I would like opinions on this. I would like to open a new thread for "Pics Only", with no comments, updates only.
-
Thanks G

Oops. Here I am being a goof and what you wanted was a post with some actual substance
Okay then, here goes: IMHO a Pics Only update section with minimal text would be ideal since that would make it easier to see not only denim progression (and therefore more manageable for the judges), but also to determine who is consistently keeping up with the rules and spirit of the competition without having to sift through a ton of comments at the same time.
That said, having and making comments is part of the fun. What I'd propose is there be a Pics Only section with each contestant placing a link in their first post to their personal Comments Only thread section where they can elaborate on their pictures and people may discuss.
Anyway, I'm sure others much more experienced will come up with a more elegant solution but hopefully this will help get the ball rolling. Cheers

If it's going to happen, then the Pics thread would be for pics only. If people want to post and comment on pictures then that would be for the main thread.

If they want to, but please refer to…..
"You will get out of this what you put into it, wear hard, contribute often, and throw yourself into this with reckless abandon"
If people want to compete in this contest, I would imagine that they would want to post wherever, and whenever possible, otherwise what is the point of competing at all.

MAJOR FRIKKIN UPDATE TIME !!!!!
Ok, so here we are only 2 weeks away from the start of the HWDC2
-
The theme challenge starts 01/04, but when is the deadline to post pics?
I presume that the deadline for posting baseline pics is also 01/04?
Oh yeah- a pics only thread for the progression of the jeans sounds good, then the main thread can focus on announcements and general chitchat.

Deadline for posting challenge pics is 12 weeks from April 1st.
Deadline for baseline pics is when you receive your jeans (some people are waiting for a Samurai release, or Beatles jeans.)
Agree with you totally on the pics thread.

I combed through the last few pages but didn't see any news about the hats. Any news on them?
Thanks again for making this contest awesome! -
Hats are Beatle and Jimmys gig. Beats is out of the country at the moment, but I will direct her to respond as soon as she returns in mid week.
-
if someone doesn´t select a single challenge from the 3 given opportunities…is he/she out of the comp directly?
i would lower the time to post a challenge entry to 8 weeks...if we have 12 weeks of time, i think things are going to get really messy, since after 12 weeks one can already upload the pics/vids for the new challenge!

The competition is for jeans evo, I'm not going to start jumping on people for not doing the challenges. But, like I keep saying, you get back what you put in. Without competing in or completing the challenges you don't have much chance of winning the contest, and absolutely no chance of winning any challenge prizes.
As for time, one thing I learned from the last contest is that sometimes real life gets in the way. The time is set at 12 weeks to allow people the maximum opportunity to take part.

Don't think I've said this publicly, so I'll do so now while I'm thinking about it:
Gavin, thank you very much for putting in the countless hours it takes to keep this contest running so smoothly. I have no idea how you keep sane after answering hundreds of emails, PMs, posts, etc. and dealing with the million details and crises that the rest of us don't even know about. You're in a thankless position and you've handled it with grace and class. I know I have zero chance of winning anything in the next two years, but I'm participating just because your enthusiasm is contagious. So thanks, because you rock.And a) I'm a little drunk and b) that's the last nice thing I'm going to say to/about you for a long time.
Possibly ever.

^What Chris said. Bravo.

Thanks Chris, you should get drunk more often

I echo what Chris said!
Also, I just paid for my MBBs and for anyone who doesn't want to hunt back to page 47 for the link, here it is:
