Button Competition

[Mark Hamilton]

I put a lot of work into our buttons this year, and it got me thinking. If we were to hold a competition, where teams submitted a button to be judged either by popular vote or a team of judges, how many teams would participate. I am thinking of something along the lines of a website where teams submit their button every year creating not only an online database of buttons but also a competition to reward hard-working designers. Tell me what you think.

i think that a button competition happened last year at nationals
but it would be cool to do again.

VCu had an unofficial button judging contest, not many teams entered though. All in all i saw some very cool buttons there.

[Digo]

In the nationals last year my team got a pen knife for the second best button. We didn't manage to see the first one, though.
We had buttons with blinking LEDs, pretty cool :cool:
The problem was that they were expensive, so we had few.
I think this year we will have simple ones, but a lot of them.

I wanna be a button judge, it sounds fun!! Some teams have some awesome buttons, our team makes ours ourself but they are still pretty cool this year. I think if there was like a table or something, or like flyers, about a "button contest" teams would mos def join in.
