[2003.09.16: The Period for submissions is Closed and Finished. There were no entries.
There shall be no winner this time. One Judge was nominated and is now released.
Therefore I will take myself and a guest to a fine dinner instead and contemplate
next year's Contest. I'll leave this page up as a reminder. Please keep using
surfPPC whenever you get a wild tick. Then send your best image and perhaps
I'll post it here.]
