What kind of prizes do they award for this kind of thing. Its a pity they wont pay for you to fly over to the award ceremony it would be a nice trip. congratulations
Nessa my prize will be fairly small, a trophy of some sort a certificate for the wall and a smal amount in prizemoney.
The main motivation is obviously not the prize money because its so difficult to win anyway you wouldn't want to be counting on that, but when you get into the top seven positions the prize money is substantial enough to get your attention. The main winner wins 1 million Yen, which is about 6000 euro, so not too bad, it would then go 5000 4000 3000 2000 and 1000 euro or something like that for the other top positions.

Well done mate. That is some achievement. You must be chuffed to bit's.
If that was me i would be dancing up and down O'Connell St. naked throwing handful's of HC at people. Although i would probably do that if i got placed in the first 10,000.
Don't know whether to laugh or cry at the thought of this one
I will keep a close eye out for next years results Darren

That is excellent news, congratulation on a job well done. I'm really looking forward to seeing the pictures of the tank. I don't want to take any credit but I'm sure none of this would have been possible without the use of a certain "ADA pipe" brought back from foreign lands at great expense and risk to human life .
Great Job!
Regards
Denis
Couldn't have done it without you Denis
still owe you a pint for that mate, one of my favorite pieces of kit btw

From what I see on the list of winners, Zig is European champion at the very least!
We done Zig, can't wait to see the photos.

Thanks Seany mate, no reason you couldn't enter this next year if you get up and running, all entries are then published in a very nice book regardless of position, worth considering anyway.

Ps. a guy was caught cheating in this years competition using photoshop to add plants in etc, sort of interesting how he was caught out. One of the other competitors came across his (public) Photobucket account by accident/chance while browseing the web a day or two after the results were released, and there it all was in black and white (or colour
) his crime laid bare. In his photobucket account there was a step by step guide on how he manipulated the origional photo, needless to say the other competitor exposed him by putting the photos all over the web on the planted forums, caused uproar!
Said (well known, won a prize last year ) competitor hasn't been seen since. tut tut
Where's Father Jack for his tuppence worth on that situation!!!
