All you need to know is that there will be four judges scaling you on 1-5, 5 being the highest therefore qualifying you to Semi-round 1.
Only sixty will make it into the preliminary round which will be open for two weeks

Lastly the finals will remain open for just FIVE DAYS where the top 10 will compete.
For judging, the top thirty will see their Oreliminary entry titles along with the gold place. Acknowledge right now that we WILL NOT LOOK FOR YOU OR SHOW FAVORITISM
Once again, if the rules aren't heeded, you will be removed without any notification so we suggest that you read carefully.

second round of contest
crystaldust 08-02-0716:56
I did IM you sometime on Feb 6 when I got home from a 5-day trip to my grandson. I also asked if it was too late to enter for the second round, since I had also to be away yesterday (Feb 7) So far I've had no reply, so am asuming you didn't have any flowers left and also that being away has knocked me out of the rest of the contest. Pity. But that's life or sod's law - whichever way you look at it. Enjoy the rest of the contest and the judging.
