Title: INVITATION For Our JUNE 2021 Engine of the Month - Entries Accepted Through MAY 22nd
Post by: RedRyder on May 14, 2021, 07:08:07 pm
Greetings from the Office of Steam,
We are looking forward to substantial participation in our JUNE unthemed EOTM contest.

First, I have not felt well and beyond my regular job have not done much in the last month. I have been lax in getting out an invitation for entries for June's contest Which should have been out here by May 1st. Sorry about this.

So.... I am going to impose on you to get some entries in by May 22nd midnight eastern.
You have just over 7 days to get your entries in. This will give us 9 days to cast our votes.

All entries are welcome for the June poll.
Boats, Locomotives, Steam, Stirling, & Gas Engines, stationary, rolling, accessories, etc.
Invitation will be open through April 25th for the MAY Engine of the Month Contest.

NOT REQUIRED:
However.... Since in the USA, Monday, May 31st is our Memorial Day where we honor those who gave all for our freedom. I will invite patriotic themes. For example, incorporating a flag or an eagle or anything that symbolizes freedom or pride in your country. This is an invitation for all members from all countries to proudly display your own flag or other symbol of your national pride.



Please send entries to RedRyder.
See notice below.
Entries will be emailed this time.

Invite period remains open
until MAY 22nd midnight Eastern time.
The New Poll will go up as quickly as possible after May 22nd.
Voting will remain open until midnight eastern time May 31st.

The winner will grace the bottom and top of all our pages for the month of June.

If I fail to turn the voting off on time, only those votes placed before the announced end will be counted.

Important......Notice:  It has been pointed out that we do not yet have a way to attach photos to PM's.

If only I could find a steam engine with an eagle on it around here... 🤔
