It's really more for fun than the prizes, so please participate, enjoy the contest and have fun!

Good Luck Bulls!

Please allow six weeks for delivery of prizes.

As with previous years' contests, Bulliever is the final judge on all entries.  He will select the winner based on pre-established criteria.  All decisions are final, unless Bulliever changes his mind.  Finally, Bulliever will only refer to himself in the third person when typing in small print.
