The Prix Eau Faux poll was supposed to be open until midnight tonight, but due no doubt to some mistake on my part, it closed early. I've reopened the poll, so anyone who didn't get a chance to vote, you can do so now and I'll leave it open until the morning. Update: poll is now closed, thanks to everyone who voted!
A reminder…
Today is the last day to vote for your favorite entry for the 2008 Prix Eau Faux...I won't say who is ahead, but the top two entries have been running neck-and-neck since late yesterday.
Prix Eau Faux 2008 ~ help us select the winner
Here they are, the finalists for the 2008 Prix Eau Faux, our contest to honor creative fragrance writing or “faux ad copy” (you can read about the contest here). Thank you again to everyone who took the time to enter! We had 55 entries, and the judges (me, Angela, Kevin, Erin and Jessica from Now Smell This, Marina from Perfume Smellin' Things and Katie from Scentzilla) have whittled it down to 8 finalists.
In order to make this as fair as possible, I won't post the names of the entrants until after the winner is selected, and I respectfully ask that the entrants not “campaign” for votes here or elsewhere…just let the best entry win. Votes will be taken through the end of the day Wednesday, and I'll announce the winner on Friday…
Prix Eau Faux update
A sincere thank you to everyone who entered the 2008 Prix Eau Faux, our contest to reward excellence in "creative fragrance writing" (or faux ad copy), and my apologies for keeping you waiting! We received a total of 55 entries, and the panel of judges — oops, make that the "distinguished panel of judges" (me, Angela, Kevin, Erin and Jessica from Now Smell This, Marina from Perfume Smellin' Things and Katie from Scentzilla) — have all been asked to select their choices for semi-finalists by this weekend. My hope is that we'll be ready for readers to vote on their favorites by Monday or Tuesday of next week.
Last call for entries…
Time is running out! Friday is the last day to enter our 2008 Prix Eau Faux. The contest honors excellence in "creative fragrance writing" (can you write ad copy that is even funnier than real ad copy?), and the prize is a $100 gift certificate to Luckyscent.
I've got a sick child at home, so no review today, sorry. Hope to be back tomorrow.
