Announcing the winners for the 2006 Do The Q! Contest:

Across all four categories, there were over 300 votes to go through! But after some careful coutning and double-checkin', here are your winners!

BEST FULL MONTY:

There was a tie between Ollie and Rocky the Gutter Cat, so they both win!

BEST MONTY Q:

Her Royal Higness Tara, Princess Meezer!

BEST INTERPRETAION ON A THEME:

Tripper the Psycho Stray Kitty!

VIEWER'S CHOICE: Sabi's Catnip-induced Full Monty!

...after going through all of the entries, there was a last-minute category addition.

(It's my contest!)

MOMBEAN'S PERSONAL PICS: Sir Edmund and Silky!

If you're one of the winning cats, please send an email to me at DoingTheQ@gmail.com so can get your address and get your prize to you. Since there was a tie for the Full Monty, MomBean will make another kittybed so each winner gets one. ('Cause I don't think Rocky is into sharing his bed with mancats...)

For evefuryone who entered, here are some buttons that you can add to your site to tell evfurryone that you took the Q Challenge!

Me an' MomBean had SO much fun doing the contest, it was so much fun seeing evfurryone's pictures. We had a little talk and decided that we'll do this again! We've got one more idea for this year's entries, but we'll come back to that after the summer is over. Can't reveal all of our secrets at once!

Thanks again for making this so much fun!!!

Votin' Time!

This was hard to figure out, it made my brain overheat tryin' to figure out the best sol-oo-shun. I mean, how could I pick one picture out of almost 90! An' then I thought evfurryone would vote for themselves, so that wouldn't help, so here's what I came up wif:


Votin' Rules!
Best Full Monty - you get TWO votes,

that way you can vote for yourself an' some other kitty

Best Monty Q - you get ONE vote for, 'cause there weren't as many entries

Viewer's Choice - ONE vote

Best Interpretation on a Theme - ONE vote, although MomBean already has a favorite

(if possible, I'd like to ask that the Viewer's Choice and Best Interpretashun votes

be for someone ofur than you, but vote how you want!)


Voting goes until Saturday, August 25, and the winners will be announced Monday the 27th. Please put: 'Contest Votes' in the subject of your email and get them in soon!
Send your votes to DoingTheQ@gmail.com!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh! An' I need some help makin' a little badgie-thing for evfuryone to use who sent in a picture. If you can help, please let me know. I'm not so good wif that type of compooter programs.

Submissions Are Closed!

WOWZERS! I can't belive how many cool cats (and bunnies and woofers) sent in picture! I'm gonna get things ready for the polls to open on Monday, so get ready to vote for your favorites. (I'll have more details then, I just wanted to update all you cool cats.)

This has been pawsome so far! Fanks to evfurryone!

Welcome Everyone!

Welcome to the First Annual 'Do the Q/Full Monty' Contest!

Most of my furrends have heard of me doing the Monty Q and the Full Monty, and now it's your turn! Can stretch your back legs and do the Q? How about showing off some furmimin and try a Full Monty? You can? Great! Take a picture and share it here!

Examples:

The 'Monty Q':
Back legs extended, tail placement optional.

The 'Full Monty':
Needs no explanation. ;)

Categories:

• Best Monty Q and Full Monty
  
• Viewer's Choice
  
• Best Interpretation on a Theme
• Have you done a Q With a Twist? Or a Half-Monty?
  

Prizes:

• Best Monty Q and Full Monty will each receive a handcrafted fleece kittybed.
• Viewer's Choice will receive a remote control mousie.
  
• Best Interpretation on a Theme will receive a kitty themed photobook and papers.

Rules:

• There aren't too many!
  
• The contest is open to all kitties who blog.
• (Well, really we'll allow some other bloggin' animals, if there's a Bunny Q then let's see it!)
  
• One official picture for pose per kitty/animal, and please title each one!
  
• To quote Skeezix: "It's my contest, so I can change the rules anytime I want."

D'oh-I didn't think of something when I typed up 'da rules'. It's one kitty pic per pose, but you can enter both poses. And if you're a multi-cat household each kitty can enter both times too. (I fink I just confused myself...)

Example:

Donny and Marie and Casey all live together, so each of them can submit two pictures each: one Full Monty and one Monty Q. (If they do each pose.)

How To Enter:

• Take a picture of yourself in one of the two poses and post it here.

Finally I figured out the Full Monty...

I have never done a Full Monty before - at least until August 12th.
While snoozing on the couch,
I rolled on to my back with my feet up.
~~~~~
I didn't know what a big deal it was
until my FL was exclaiming "Full Monty" repeatedly
and flashing the flashy box.
There you go...I now have my entry!!! (P.S. I haven't done it again so far...)

Coco Wanted to Play, Too

Well, Coco looked at Monty Q's rules carefully and she said that he said that other critters could play too, so I couldn't argue with her anymore. So here is Coco's Wiener Dog Full Monty:



In case you were wondering, she looks a little different because she's a long-haired wiener dog. Those of you who aren't too fond of the woofies, I apologize. She can be really pushy sometimes.
