15
I'm announcing this comp a little earlier than it actually starts to give everybody a heads up and some time to plan ahead.
This will be a TUTORIAL competition.
The comp will start on the 15th of February to coincide with the end of Slingshot of the Month and run till the end of the month, the 29th of February.
To qualify you need to post something to the Slingshot Tutorials sub forum between the 15th and the 29th of February.
This can be a pictorial, a build log, a video, a step by step set of instructions, a how to shoot class, anything really.
The winner will be chosen by me based on:
- Originality of idea
- Quality of content
- Quality of presentation
- Usefulness to the community
