That's ok, wipe your tears. The yearly Christmas exchange is almost here.

Santa comes to your house and takes the best half dozen crankbaits you own, and then gives them to Glenn & The Mods! ;D

When you post the essays for voting are the essays going to be anonymous?

Okay, that seems better then my original plan 

I would like to pass this tackle on to a BassResource member who is 15 years of age or younger, free of charge.

Aw ineligible due to 1 year :'(

im 17 but can i do it for the fun of it?

How old are you?

Im 17 misread the thing thinking it was 16 my mistake.

How old are you?

Maybe we should change it into a math test lol

Haha I can see it now, here is the winning paper:

2*3+2= Crankbait

6-9+7= Crankbait

(69-72)(85-84) = Really big crankbait

Yes, they will be posted anonymously.  That way there won't be any favoritism so don't tell anyone what you've written about.

Student ID should just have name, school name, and current year and grad level. Figure no one who is a senor will be 15 years or older, some late birthday juniors may still be 15.

Some freshman and sophomores are 16-17 though

yep i was 16 as a freshman and ill be 18 this year as a junior

I would like to pass this tackle on to a BassResource member who is 15 years of age or younger, free of charge. Though age verification will be mainly on the HONOR system, winners may be requested to produce a scanned copy of their valid, school identification card.

Remember, this contest is going to be based mainly on the Honor System so please don't try and cheat some youngster out of winning.

Good luck and you may begin with your essay.

I think "honor system" has been mentioned.  If you're not 15 then you can't/shouldn't enter. If you need to falsify documents or deceive  in order to scam a generous member of this forum then shame on you

Just out of curiosity how many have you received so far..?  Maybe up the age limit to 16 if there aren't that many..?

About to say its seems that 16-17 would be better and also allow 15 year olds who want to do it

How can that be? Your profile says been posting a long time...j/k

There's only a few days left of the contest so put the final touches on your essays and get'em submitted.

Here proof I'm 15. ;D ;D ;D

Precocious little rascal aren't you, in a university at 15. Nice job on the ID, almost.

Everything, print and photo run uphill to the right. The age however is level, not parallel to the rest of the print.

p.s. I know you are just spoofing. ;D

Seriously, this is a very generous thing to do.  Best of luck to all who enter.  Now get cracking on those entries.

So far, there has only been ONE essay submitted. I have spoken to a couple members who recommend the contest be extended 2 more weeks.  We have also decided to announce the contest on the forums Facebook site. I hope the change in rules is fair to the only person who submitted an essay, but where is the fun in winning by default.

  If the rule changes are unfair to the only entrant, then I will make it up to him, but the the contest will continue.

17 and under would probably get more responses.

17 and under would probably get more responses.

I know it would, but that age 'should' be more advanced at writing than 15 and younger so it wouldn't really be fair.

Sent in my entree. I hope you like it!
