you'd best forget about col for a bit...
to best illustrate this, let me tell a parable.
An obviousely drunk, naked pirate walks into a pub, dressed in nothing, except a big hat, and a pair of boots, and a steering wheel hanging from his  ... HE walks up to the bartender, slaps gold coin down on the bar, and says, "Gimme a drink! Rum!"
The bar tender hands him the drink, and doesn't say a word.
The pirate downs it and says, "I'll have another!"
The bar tender gives him another rum, but this time he asks the pirate.... "Excuse me sir, but did you know you have a steering wheel hanging from your
The pirate says, "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, I know, it's driving me nuts!"

ha ha. I get it. I'm just super excited about the COL6. I just looked at the line up and the Czechs are in and Mexico and Singapore and some of my old faves like Datana and One Wheel Dave. Yayy!!!! My fire sister, Lindsay and I were talking about making a black light video, but alas we slacked. Hopefully next year, but in the meantime, I really want to get a copy of COL6 and I'm just soooo thrilled that Malcolm didn't cancel this wonderful, amazing, inspiring record of some of the best spinners in the world. woo hoo!  linda, the shorter fire sister

I think there should be a $1 USD entry fee, or something like that. Then, everyone who submitted, whether or not they were accepted can vote and the winner can get a HoP gift certificate in the amount of however many submissions. That way the people who get to vote are the ones who contributed, which is fair, and I do not know ANYONE who would go through the trouble and expense of making an entry and not being able to drop 1 extra dollar. For all those folks in England it less than a pound! That way there can be a competetive spirit, and a prize, and still not be a fiscal downfall for Malcolm.
I am not sure on the policy on multiple submissions, but anyone submitting multiple entries would pay for eac submission, but only get one vote.
What does everyone else think? I think this is a good compromise, and I knwo that I wouldnt mind sending an extra buck in with a submission, I cant imagine anyone would...
yay!!!  great idea m8...that way everybody is happy

Although $1 is a trivial amount, it will be highly inconvenient for some if it has to be submitted by the normal means ie those who don't have a credit card, can't get the paypal/switch thing to work etc.
Hopefully if there was an admission fee this would be taken into account by allowing personal cheques.
However, personally I don't like the idea; given that generally there seems to be only around 60 entrants pre year, the resulting prize isn't going to be that great, and if the entrance fee is raised to give a better prize, then some people won't enter.

so how 'bout $5? that should make for a decent prize, whether you're voted first, second, or third

$5 will put people off, especially those who can't pay due to lack of a credit card.

Still trying to confirm one video. Once that is completed should only take a week to start shipping copies.

Is there a new list? If so can someone post a link? The only list Iknow of is this- http://www.homeofpoi.com/articles/COL2005.phpand that's the list of entrants ie they're not necessarily on the final vid.

With some of the fantastic looking performances that are in the preview what chance does a lowly noob like me have of getting into COL...
I can't wait to order it (I need to wait till I've got my student loan through).
Well done Malcolm and everyone who got on.
*Crosses fingers for having something worthy of a future DVD*
I'm actually drooling thinking about it now. I can't wait for it.

Dear all,
Seems the coverslips for the DVDs were all printed on cardboard instead of glossy paper. So new covers are currently being done. New expected release date is 7th October.
Regards
Malcolm
