Beginners Challenge Call for Judges

So we are just a little over three weeks away. May we have some volunteer judges? You should be prepared to review the uploads and respond within 3 days of the uploaded entries i.e. by midnight Greenwich Mean Time February 3.

We are beginners, so we need the most help! But also, we will be the easiest to judge...

And no, this is not a job for a monkey!

do you have someone who will the handle the mp3s and post them up? if not, i'd like to volunteer. if you already have someone and you're short on judges, then i can be a judge if you'd like.

Thank you Edguerin and Anthony! We are very glad to have you guys on board!

Anthony, I would really like you to be a judge and get your feedback for all the competitors, and Kozz will handle the entries as he said he would. But if Kozz can't come through then perhaps you can be the back-up...

More judges to follow... off to bed for me now. Cheers everyone!

Thank You everyone!

Yes, you are all judges and I am so looking forward to your comments on this challenge. Without your involvement this would be a sorry challenge indeed. This place is fantastic.

And this thread has given me a good belly laugh with the monkey pictures and funny comments.

I know also that Todd will judge also, and perhaps Jason if he is not too busy, and perhaps Ron also so I am looking forward to perhaps a couple more monkey pictures. I think this just about ties things up on the judging front.

Also, Jason has very kindly offered a 3 month prize on his flamenco lesson website. Jason, I cannot thank you enough for your very kind generosity!

Judges, the time for judging the challenge is soon coming to a close! So, put down your bananas and quit monkeying around! Do I have to go APE???

Your comments and judging scores are very much appreciated and are what make the challenge a complete success. Without you, there is no challenge. Thank you very much in advance and thanks to those that have already completed your judging.

Most sincerely and best regards

Yes, yes, there is still time a little time... but I was worried things will be dropped and not everyone will respond by the cut-off time.

Thanks Anthony for your comments and scores!

Thanks everyone!

Hi Judges, time is running out - it is February 4 at 01:00 hours. If you are reading this and haven't yet submitted your judging scores, there is less than 24 hours to submit.

Deadline is February 4 - 24:00 hours london time. Does anybody read this???

I hate being a nanny. Apologies if that is the way I am coming across. I am just enthusiastic!!

Cheers and thanks in advance to everyone! This has been a great challenge so far!
