We now have half of the contests for next year (2025) covered with hosts!

We still have half of them to be covered.

I hope that some of you will think positively about hosting a contest. It's true that there are a few tricky parts, but they aren't impossible. I am more than happy to pass out my "cheat sheets" that I wrote for myself several years ago to help me. I can explain any part which may seem difficult.

Practice makes perfect!

I hope to hear from some of you before the end of the year in particular. January is not that far away.

One thing more: Running the contest cannot be done on a phone. They are simply too small to work. Laptops and desktops work wonderfully! And you do need a star in order to post a poll.

You can choose whichever month you want from those that are still available.

The way it works: you look at the thread that shows the months available and decide which one suits you.

Here's the link to that thread: https://www.democraticunderground.com/1036137618

Then you post in that thread to tell me and I will write your name next to the month you want.

I have written up some notes on how to actually do the contest and I will pm them to you! I will also make you a Host so that you'll have some privileges that you might need to do the contest.

And of course, anytime you have questions, I"m here and will answer!
