Deadline Reminder

NOTE: We haven’t forgotten about the previous challenge (“And now, for the next century and a half...”), but we didn’t think through the logistics of Christmas week.

At the moment, the reindeer are all kvetching about the unseasonable lack of wintry precipitation at this latitude, and the elves miss their frostbite. We’re in the process of banishing packing them away for another year, so we can get on with mo’ better challenge judging in 2012, and all the other Stupefying hijinks we have planned.

---

The deadline for the current Friday Challenge — Higglety Pigglety Pop! — is 6 AM Eastern time on the morning of Friday, 30 December 2011... less than twenty-four hours away.

Entries may be added to The Friday Challenge Yahoo Group (see the appropriate directory within the "Files" section), hosted on your personal blog(s) and linked within the comments for the challenge, or copied directly into the comments section as a post.

In previous challenges, we have accommodated late entries. This time, we have no such luxury; if you post an entry much later than 6 AM Eastern time, there is a chance the judges will not be able to properly consider your work. Should you anticipate a need to snowdog, please mentally back the deadline up as much as necessary. If the deadline hits and you are very, very close, please publicly announce your intention to enter.

A winner will be declared by the evening of Sunday, 1 January 2012 (or thereabouts!).
