I am announcing “The Knitting Fiend’s Cute Cat Contest, 2005″!

If you contribute to a knitting blog and you own a cat, you can enter between now and noon, July 17, 2005, Eastern Time. Visitors to my blog, “The Knitting Fiend”, will be asked to vote between July 18, 2005 and July 22, 2005 Eastern Time. The cat who recieves the largest number of votes will win the distinction of being called “Knitting Fiend’s Cute Cat, 2005″!

Entering is simple. Fill out the form below. When you click “submit” you will be sent to a page that lets you review and confirm your entry. If you have questions about the meaning of any item in the form, refer to the sample nomination announcement for my cat “Orange Puss”; since I count the ballots, he’s can’t run.

Once I recieve your entry, I will review. If the entry is complete, and conforms to the rules described here, I will accept it. If your cat’s nomination is accepted, an announcement containing the information you provide, will be created and posted on the “Cute Cat Ballot Blog”.

Entries will appear in “first accepted, first place order”; so enter early for best placement.

Sample Entry Ballot Entry.
Your cat’s entry on the ballot page will be similar to the one shown below, but
with your contest entry data substituted:

  3. [...] I’m watching a show about cats on A&E, and now I’m entering Murphy in the Knitting Fiend’s Cute Cat Contest ‘05. Murphy want’s you to vote for him! He’s threatening to electrocute himself if you don’t vote for him! Why does Murphy deserve to win? Because he’s really smart and funny. He acts like I don’t feed him and begs people for their food. He likes being chased. He has a stuffed zebra that he considers his girlfriend. He likes to fight his older buddy Fred for a spot in a window. He’s two years old and still my little baby. He makes “brrr” noises while he prances around. He’s a total mush when he’s sleepy. Vote here! btw, I don’t think anyone would get the title of my post…but if you think you do, take a guess. [...]
