How about producing some old school 1940s era replica hat devices?  I know I would buy one.

Are they supposed to be acknowledging those who submit? I see the cutoff date is the 15th but I do not see antying about "formal" acknowledgment of submissions.

Yeah they allready told me I was wondering if they let the rest of you know!!

[a2capt]

Thats really nice. Just like they let deadlines slip and slip thereby making them meaningless, in general, in CAP.. it would be just as well that they pick a winner early and ignore the rest of the submissions because they extended it to the 15th, but seem to have gone by the original date anyway.

I am not sure if this is directed at me but mine was a response to a joke that someone else posted. I have not received any notice or anything else for that fact about my submission. That is why I was asking. I know the people at NHQ have more integrity than that. I have not seen nor heard of any reason to suspect that they have changed the dates or anything else having to do with this contest.

[CAP Producer]

114 entries have been recieved by NHQ and they will be judged in the coming weeks. BTW today is the final day they are accepting entries.

[a2capt]

Should be tomorrow, not today, according to the note posted.

Please e-mail your entry to paa@capnhq.gov no later than Feb. 15, 2011. Please type "theme/logo" in the subject line of the e-mail and include your full name, rank, CAPID, full mailing address and e-mail address in your entry.

So we're into the last of March, and no word yet on a wiener. Bueller? Bueller? 

[BillB]

From what I hear, the decision has been made,  but not yet announced.

This monstrosity was in my email this morning. Is this the logo?

It has The Triangle Thingy, so it must be the winning entry chosen by our professional rule abiding impartial judges...

This is the best compelling reason yet for adding an "actively vomiting" smiley to the site's assortment.
