12 days, that's one and a half times eight! I'm sure you can come up with something about numbers so another of the eighty themes one could get inspired by - you've been cre-eight-ive before.

In light of the FAQ/How to Write an Issues Guide update, I highly recommend reading through the very detailed feedback to consider what points you may have missed before submitting for the contest (still plenty of time to go).

We try to aim for mid-July. We had an excellent response, yielding nearly 200 entries, so we need to make sure that members of the editing team have time to review candidates, narrow down the options, give those all a good examination, and then cast their votes.

Been meaning to post this, but oh my god I won! And on my first try! Technically it's my second, but I never submitted that one. Thank you all so much for your help, and I hope I can contribute more in the future.

Side question for this- is there anything else I need to do for the issue I submitted from here, or is it considered complete and just pending implementation?
