I would just like to add something to what Tan has posted, well two things LOL.
I have a much bigger hat than Tan and was keeping the subject of next years show under my hat
About the number of pictures of the same cat/s I would just like to add that we encouraged peeps to enter the show in as many classes as possible and this year to get more entries, as many pics of their cats that they liked in each class cos the more entries the more money we raise.
Now we are into the semi-finals of the voting you the voters again decide which 12 go through to the final so each stage of the voting is decided by the voters and of course you have loads of choice where to put your votes
........am thinking of an additional competition to be added on to the cat show next year........who gets the top 12 right
Last year I learned a lot about running the Cat Show, the more classes you have the more complicated it is to run and to enter and to vote. The more rules we have the harder it is for everyone, so this year have pruned the number of classes and also the rules.
This year I have found that maybe the classes were trimmed too much
but think the rules are about right...........this is definately a learning curve and going by Class 5 this year,and also the number of peeps who sent captions with their entries which were not Class 5, next year is going to be one great big laugh an entry and when times are hard, we all need a good laugh.
I have certainly had some laughs this year with Class 5 and all I can say is to start snapping now and shove the best ones in a special folder for next years Cat Show because they will all be Class 5 but Class 5 will be in different classes
.....if you get my drift!
Finally, please vote cos the cats deserve your support and lots of luck to all
