I know voting ends on April 30th, but at what time?
I have a feeling I'm going to be down to the wire.
Spoiled for choices here.....

One minute till midnight. One minute until May 1.

Time zone...?

Another couple of days to complete the critiquing/voting!

That said, I've run into a scheduling problem for ending the contest. I would usually announce the winners either shortly after midnight on the closing day, or first thing the following morning, but I'm traveling that morning and need to get to sleep earlier than I would otherwise.

ATTENTION!

SO!!! Do you voters prefer me to wrap up the contest a couple hours earlier, say 9 pm Central, or give an extension until Tuesday? Tuesday May 4 is the next opportunity I have to be at my computer to make badges and winner announcements.

I'm adding a poll to this announcement. Please let your preference be known as soon as possible! Or I will have to decide without your help.

I'm cool with whatever though!

Just because I'm ok with ending it tomorrow doesn't mean everyone is in the same place.

Okay, it looks like the contestants have spoken.

The voting gets an extension and will conclude on Monday night, 11:59 pm US Central.

Winners will be announced on Tuesday!

(The announcement has been updated to reflect this change. Apologies for having to draw this out, everyone. This was an unforeseen interruption.)

Terribly sorry for the delay. I am finally settled in the vacation rental for a day of routine work, so I will be tallying the contest votes and making badges asap.
