Good luck everyone.

Quick Q Whiskers, do you require any info other than the answer in the email, or will that be sorted out with the winner after the date?

Good point, Timberwolf. I guess a (nick)name would be handy - if you don't want to be referred to by your RL name (should you win) - but address details, etc. will be sorted out once the winners of all three contests have been announced.
It's also worth mentioning - if I haven't already - that of someone enters all three contests and wins either the first or second their entries for the remaining contests won't be counted for the sake of fairness to everyone else. (IOW, there's a maximum of one prize per winner.)
