But there's less competition for the fake email contest...last picked still plays no matter how lame they are.

My preference, in order: 3,7,1.

 

[Jason Wood]

Who picked the winners?



What did they base the winners on?

If we laughed. In all seriousness, a panel of staff were assigned each contest distinctly. We each nominated people independently and then narrowed it down from there. Also keep in mind that many people submitted entries for multiple contests. In the event someone was in the running for multiple categories, we gave them one spot, and went on to the next person.

Also keep in mind that this is a subjective thing. I was a judge for several of the contests and can tell you that this wasn't easy. There were a ton of laugh out loud captions and while we agreed unanimously on a few in each, there were some that missed out I'm sure each of us felt deserved to make the cut.

The good news is we're paying close attention to those people who either almost made the cut but fell short and/or submitted a lot of entries (i.e., gave it the old college try). Effort will be a factor in determining the wild card entries for sure.

 

[David Dodds]

Who picked the winners?What did they base the winners on?

Multiple staff helped judge these contests. With 100s of submissions and 10 winners per caption, many people with good entries are not going to get selected.

Just wanted to make sure the winners were picked in a fair matter.

I put quite a bit of time into those captions.

 

[buck naked]

Thanks for the explanations, David and Jason. Humor is a subjective thing. I cracked myself up at my captions , but none won. Well, I had fun doing it and reading everyone elses!

[Challenge Everything]

Hey David and other staff,

I won one of the spots from the "Caption the photo #3" contest. If not full and we are able to pick, my schedule would work best for League #7... Sunday, July 27th, 10:30 pm eastern. That would be option 1... option 2 would be League #6 which the draft is on Saturday July 26th. A third option would also be League #9.

If any of these can be granted... great... if not we have time to figure it out.

Challenge Everything

 

[rzrback77]

prefer league seven. will check bacl later to see if I need to add other leagues.

Many thanks again for the opportunity!

 

[reflint]

I won a poetry contest - my mom would be so proud!

My choices in order of preference: 6, 1, 7 (I would vote for starting earlier, if possible)

Thanks for the selection guys - I will have to let all my fellow Browns fans know that some good came of our misery.

 

[Twilight]

9 - 12 - 7 in order are my choices.

I had multiple people praise my entry for #3, so I figured I was a lock :ego boost:. But my first look over Dodds announcement missed my name. Luckily I noticed before I threw something across the room.
