When voting closes, voting logs will be reviewed for any duplicate or otherwise illegitimate votes (for example, those from the same IP or email address), and these will be deleted. The on-line votes will be tallied and used to adjust the original votes of the Panel of Judges at CBJA, in the selection of a winner. The public's votes will weigh towards 25% of the final tally in selecting the Winner and Runner-Up.

POEM


Try Channel 8

"Try channel 8." Boredly, she replied.
He threw the remote to her and sighed --
-- Grumblin under his breath.

"So many channels, but there's nothin' on."
She muttered vaguely, suppressing a yawn.
--they were one night closer to death.

 





LIST OF MATERIALS:

Plastic, agate, various jaspers, rhodonite, smoky quartz, hematite, glass, aventurine, other questionable gemstones, pewter, copper wire, hemp, wood, broken watch face, rubber?, remote control, base metal, unknown metals, acculon, foamy lizard, sequins, chain

A very heavy cement like agate bead adds an uncomfortable weight to one side of the piece.
