Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013 - 2015 - Official Thread

[Megatron1505]

The HWDC2 ends in a little over a week's time, two years has almost passed and we all probably need a little reminder of happens next. So here is how it is going to work…

- Special threads will be created on Superfuture and the Iron Heart forum for those still actively competing to make their final submissions.

- All final submissions must be made into these threads only in order for them to be judged.

- Those submitting images will be checked to ensure that they are active participants in HWDC2.

- All final submissions MUST be made before May 1^st.

- The judging process will begin on May 1^st with division winners announced on or around May 16^th.

- The overall winner will be announced on June 1^st 2015 and put in contact with our sponsors to receive their prizes.

- Judges decisions are final and not open to questioning.

Doesn't the contest end April 1st? That's what the original post of the thread says. Just want to make sure that I'm not late on something.

[FLDenim211]

I need to go run to borrow a good camera so that I can actually get a good representation.

[everyinchofgod]

I assumed it was over on April 1 as well, but I will happily spend another month in my pair.

[Megatron1505]

Yep, you guys are right. Between DWC and HDWC I screwed my dates up haha

I'll edit the post 😎

[Megatron1505]

Btw, it doesn't change the dates for judging as it will probably take a month for all the final picture submissions to be made.

[greathoudini]

I need a better camera to shoot some pictures.

[louisbosco]

so wait. when is the dates again?? lost and confused between the posts..

[Megatron1505]

As per both posts, April 1st, then a month for final submissions, then judging.

Post #4831 still says May.

[greathoudini]

No it says the finale submissions should be be made before may. The first sentence says the contest will end in just over a week

Got my oldblue back from the tailor today. So I hope I can wear them for another 2 years or something

[louisbosco]

awesome! now to get some decent shots for final submissions...

[cander49]

Perfect. My brother, who has a super nice camera setup and does professional shoots on the side (engagements, portraits, sports, etc) is in town for a few days starting tomorrow, so we'll see what he can do for me.

 

By the way, how many active participants are left? Seems like we've dwindled a bit here on SUFU, but there are still quite a few. How many are on the other forum?

Honestly, I'd be amazed if we make 25 finalists. Such is the nature of a 2 year contest I guess, only the strongest survive.

[swiss-jeansfreak]

yeah, let's see, how many people sre still in this contest at the end of the month

[cander49]

Cool! It seems like there are at least a dozen really great pairs at this point! Will you guys announce 2nd and 3rd for each category as well, or just the category winners?

[Max Power]

Looking forawrd to all submissions. I'll try to take my shots and submission today (while I make use of my 6 LP Sun Records Box that just came in). Just a thought - I will probably add some of my favorite pictures of those two years and show the evolution. Would love to see other's do the same, as it's hard to keep track of all posts.

 

I think I'll play it like this:

 

1.) The judging pictures: front, back, details

2.) Front Evo

3.) Back Evo

4.) Favorite Pictures

 

Hope this is not consiedered spamming, but it could make the last pages of this thread an awesome conclusion of theose 2 years.

One of the best things that happened - my little niece is well, after weeks in the hospital.

And now...hopping on to the next contest. See you there.

Sorry for the huge post, but it felt appropriate for a 2 year contest.

Great updates Max, that's what a two year contest is all about.

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Thanks for your final updates Flo.

 

I myself will also try to post a very few pics from my out of the contest judges IH 25 oz pants just taken with my old I-Phone after the contests end

[cander49]

Cool final update! I was thinking about doing the same thing with favorite pics over the years!

[louisbosco]

hey max. i thought the posts go into the submission thread? but anyway love the pictures. now i've to go dig up some to find photos over the 2 contest years. 

[Megatron1505]

Great update Flo, I'll start the final submissions thread at the beginning of April, can you move them into that when it is up please?

[summ3rhays]

Great update Max!  It's been fun to follow your journey
