Entry of the Month: December 2009
Created | Updated Jan 17, 2010
Thank you to everyone voting in the November competition.
The Winners
As is customary, we have a new winner to announce:
Entry of the Month, November 2009 is Stolpersteine - An Everyday Memorial.
This Entry, written by Malabarista and sub-edited by Gnomon describes Gunter Demnig's brass plaques - controversial individual memorials to victims of the Nazi Holocaust.
This is another Edited Guide Entry which has been illustrated with the author's own photograph. If you have a photo which could illustrate the entry you are writing, then e-mail it to the h2g2 Editors and they will always consider using it.
December 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 12 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 Gentle Introduction to the Art of Matchstick Modelling - An absorbing hobby, lovingly described.
Birthdays - A good old traditional collaborative entry.
The Harry Potter Film Series - Movie magic.
Types of Essays - Some great tips for overcoming writers block.
And Many More .... from the Front Page Archive for December 2009.
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.
