After poor engagement and multiple whithdrawals. The winners is: frogglicker. No poll needed because he was the only one who finished.
And frogglicker gets one year of free sponsorship of the forum on me. Thanks for all your 3d designs.

Didn’t I finish? I mean his is better anyway so congratulations @frogglicker !!!
You did finish—my mistake. We may have had more finishers but we did not have them enter on the poll thread.

The poll thread? Is there a thread with a poll? I think you need to plan this better in the future!
I posted about the poll. Most did not read it. Reading is fundamental.

Ahh I see it now, must have been a edit or I’m just stupider than I thought!

I was making a self deprecating joke.
I just kidding around. I am not sure we will do a contest till fall. I need to work on the plan more.
Thanks, everyone! It was fun and challenging. I hope that we can do more of these because I learn more from others. I hope to have this rocket in the air this summer.

I think the main issue was that this was in two places.. The entries were here, yet the contest / poll was in another [likely less viewed] forum: Contests. Also, that this one thread contained all the entries.. Each entry should have been it's own build thread; easier to link to..
Maybe as well with these types of contests: that the entries are weighted towards completion.. That way, you may have an entry, and it can still be valid, but that it missed a criteria, such as launching within a specific time frame (weather, corn, holidays, etc..) That way, a really cool design can still win, despite it not being flown or built.. (but it'll have to be a really really cool design!!)
3 points for designed, build flown
2 points for designed & built
1 point for designed only
