3rd Annual Extravagant Emu Egg Contest

The polls are closed, but please visit and look at the eggs!
(winners will be announced in the July/August issue)

Welcome to the 3rd Annual Extravagant Emu Egg Contest, once again sponsored by the Midwest Emu Growers Alliance (MEGA).  

For many years Egging has been seen as more of an "arts & crafts" project than a work of Art.  As you can see from the entries on the following pages, this is changing!

MEGA is sponsoring this contest to introduce you, the general public, to Egging, specifically, with emu eggs..  As an incentive, they are offering you an opportunity to win a 2 oz bottle of emu oil in each of the five categories that you vote in.

Rules:

1.  Only one vote per category.  This year we are having a "Best in Show" so it is important to the eggers that you vote in each of the five categories (which also gives you five chances to win!)

2.  Only one vote per person.  We will cross check email and street addresses to ensure that no one votes twice.

3.  Employees of Emu's Zine, members of MEGA and their immediate families may not vote. (you'd think with our pay scale they'd let us, but noooo)

4.  Contest ends May 31, 2001 and drawings for the emu oil will be held on or about the week of June 12th.  Winners will be notified by email.

5.  Winning eggs will be announced in our July/August 2001 issue, winners of drawings will also be announced at that time.

I want to mention a couple of things before we get started - please give the pages time to load - we are talking lots of photos here!   Have a pen and paper ready to note your favorite entries.  Also, and this is very important - many of these eggs are for sale!  Visit the different websites!  Shop!

Now, on with the show!

1.  Carved/Etched/Sculpted
