Entry of the Month: July Voting
Created | Updated Sep 5, 2010
Thank you to everyone voting in the June competition.
The Winners
As is customary, we have a new winner to announce:
Entry of the Month, June 2010 is The African Dwarf Crocodile.
This Entry, written by Willem and sub-edited by Lanzababy, describes the lesser-known and lesser-sized relative to the Nile crocodile. It has been strikingly illustrated by the author, an accomplished wildlife artist. Congratulations to everyone involved!
July Competition
These are a few which caught my eye, and which hopefully illustrate the variety of entries in this month's competition. It's not the full list, of course - there are a total of 15 Entries which you can vote for, and the last item in this list links to the Front Page Archive, where you will find all the others. As always, please look through the Entries and cast a vote for your favourite. Not only that, but please ask your h2g2 friends to take part, too.
Icy's Suggestions
A Brief History of Manufacturing Glass for Windows - All you needed to know about that transparent stuff.
Lamb's Lettuce - Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair.
Mahler's 8th Symphony - A piece of music requiring over 1,000 performers.
Southampton Airport, Eastleigh, Hampshire, UK - An airfield steeped in aviation history.
And Many More .... from the Front Page Archive for July 2010.
Can I Vote?
Of course you can! Entry of The Month is all about popular opinion. So whether you're an old-hand in Peer Review or you just signed up yesterday, you are more than welcome to post your vote to the forum below.
IMPORTANT: Please post only once to the voting forum. Votes can then be quickly counted without having to double-check. Please do not try to vote anywhere else. Voting for your own Entry is politely discouraged. This system is reliant on your goodwill and honesty.
But I don't like any of your suggestions!
That's fine. My list is just a few which caught my eye. If you've seen something you prefer, please vote for that Entry instead. It would help if you could include an A-Number by way of a link.
All an Entry needs to qualify is to have been put on the Front Page for the first time in the last month. Please check the date on the Entry you are nominating. It happens that old Entries are sometimes put back on the Front Page for a 'second spell' – you can identify these on the Front Page Archive as they have a little ® beside them. The Entry Of The Month must be first published in the month in question.
The competition will be closed at a judicious point towards the end of the calendar month in which the competition is published according to the following Post deadline, when voting activity has been quiet for a period of time. Either Icy North or the Post Team will announce closure by posting to the voting thread. The votes will be tallied and any ties will be resolved by the Post Team. The Post Team's decision on any matter relating to the competition will be final.
