Event Dates and Submission Guidelines
The contest will be for the whole month of December 2015! All submissions must be lifts that occurred during the month of December.
Within the first week of December, I (or one of the other mods) will announce the results in a new thread. I will set up a spreadsheet on Google Sheets to keep track of everything and share that link with the other mods.
Please Participate!
This should be a fun competition.
If you only want to participate in one event, go for it. If you want all the glory, go for it. Participating in this competition requires at least one entry, that's it. You can participate as much or as little as you want.
