Now, considering that we are scattered to the various ends of the planet I am assuming that meeting up will be impractical, I therefore suggest that we go for looks, weight, girth and length as judging criteria, all of which can be verified by a quick photo or video posted to twitpic or flickr (where we could form a group) or some such place. There will be an element of trust but I think we're all trustworthy people (except of course you, yes you know who you are ;-) and as the prizes will be of relatively low value to cheat would be nonsensical! It's just a bit of fun but maybe a picture of the marrow/courgette on the plant may be a good idea too, we wouldn't want you nipping off to Sainbos to pick up your prize winner would we!? As I will be entering courgettes I think it's only fair that we allow mammoth ones (or I'll take me ball home!)
Suggested Judging Criteria
- Heaviest
- Fattest (girth at fattest point)
- Longest (measured with string to account for curvature?)
- Most attractive (a bit subjective)
- Funniest (even more subjective)
- Overall winner (HxWxG)
Timeframe? I suggest:
- sign up by 14th August
- submit measurements and post pictures/video by 31st September
- judging completed by 9th October
- Winners published by 12th October
BTW we have settled on #twarrow as a hashtag
Update - Sign up period extended to end of August :-)
Brilliant - count me in and thanks for organising! It's gonna be such a scream.
