Glad you asked, Jorge. :-)

You may remember that the rules for the Group Projects contest stated
that the winners had the right to suggest a judge for the next contest
if they decided not to judge it themselves. I have been in touch with
Jeb Havens and Ian Schreiber, the winners of Group Projects. They
regret that they are too busy right now to judge the next competition.
However, since I won the Mesomorph  competition, I have Jeb's and
Ian's blessing, as well as the blessing of Clark Rodeffer, the judge
for Group Projects, to judge the next contest myself. I already have a
theme and am writing up the rules. I'll announce the contest in a week
or two. Don't worry; the theme won't be Ludic Synergy II.

I *am* looking for donations of prizes for the contest. The last few
competitions had some prettty good prizes, so let's try to at least
match them. Please send me private email if you can contribute a
prize.

By the way, Jeb Havens has promised to send the Trophy Cloth back.
He'll mail it to me in a few weeks, and I'll send it to the winner of
the next contest. I will not be signing the cloth myself this time
because the contest I won was not part of the "lineage" of the public
competitions. I consider it enough of an honour to be judging the next
contest.

Long live the piecepack!
