Firstly a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who took the time and trouble to
enter.  I think you'll agree that there was some great work going on here:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/j.markham/index.htm

There is a link to the start up of the Third Annual Midnight MOCkery, and
you can enter at any time over the next 12 months!

There were a couple more entries than last year.  Next year I would like it
to be HUGE!  Any suggestions for improvements would be more than welcomed.
(and I CAN take criticism!)

I would like to have the judging done by a voting system if I can work out
something feasible.  What do you think?

The Diorama category was by far the most popular. Do you think the
categories need to be altered?

Did the prizes suck?  What would you like to win?

And last but by no means least, a big thanks to Sarah Mather for the
original concept.

I'm happy to hear that there will be a third annual contest.  I would have
entered this recent one, but I didn't know about it untill about 12 days
before the contest deadline and I didn't have enough time to get the parts I
need from birckshelf and put them together.  I should be ready for the third
annual contest though.

That reminds me.  Are entries using custom made/modified lego parts allowed?
I need to know since I'm rather keen on customisng lego parts in order to
achieve my dubious lego modeling goals. ;-)

This year there was a category for custom mini-figs which actively
encouraged custom parts.  I also accepted entries which had custom parts as
long as they were not in the majority.  I'd be very interested in people's
opinions on this sort of subject, so that a clear set of rules and guidlines
can be included in next year's contest.  Is there enough interest in custom
parts to make it a separate category?  let me know!
