WTF?!? Just noticed it has finished, what happened to the closing date of this Friday the 16th??? rage


they closed it early so they could announce it at the board world snow week.
If you pm one of the moderators or rider than they might get a look at them before the weekend?

Thanks for the suggestion. I’m not going to bother but if they wanted to announce it then they should have planned for it and chosen a different date. The business operators of BoardWorld and Chemical Storm should know that this sort of thing is covered by consumer law, if they advertise terms for a competition people are going to plan for them so they have to abide by those terms otherwise people will feel gypped.


That is true. But also take into account that they are small companies and I doubt very much that BW is a money making machine, its run by a very small team. its no corporate giant and thats why its cool. I’m sure it would have been an accidental mix up!
Your designs are cool (even if they take me back to the chem lab), i really like the 2nd one, and maybe the first one in another colour. so anyway I still reckon you should send a message through. looks like you spent a fair bit of time on them so id say its worth a try!

Rider is trying to get to the bottom of this. Seems to be a mishap between postings on fb and here.

I have put time into a design to enter and feel ripped that entries have closed early before I posted it. The closing date on the first page is Sept 16 If you haven’t entered but have a design I think you should post it asap and we hope Jeff will consider these entries in the comp.

Man I feel so bad about the honest mix up I have caused. This was suppose to be a fun contest and somehow I feel I have let some people down. All I can say I am sorry for the mix up. I am a ‘one man show’ when it comes to CS and occassionally I make errors. I know how much work goes into each design and appreciate the fustration that artists have when they been told the contest is closed before submitting their entry. I will try and make it up to everyone who submits an entry.

That sounds like a good idea. I must admit that I and Dark were surprised at some of the designs chosen in the previous top 6…
