Creative Critic Mini-Contest Prize

In case you weren't aware we sprung this mini-contest upon our regular users a week ago, you can read the official announcement,  OR, congratulate the winners in the LEGO Pirate Forum.

Of all the participants of the Pillage the Village Contest the Creative Critics have the most arduous task - providing feedback for as many entries as they possibly can.  This is no doubt exhausting after all these weeks so we want to give the Creative Critics a little something extra...

Another Prize!

The first entrant to write 20 post of feedback (has to be a solid paragraph) before Friday 28^th of November will win a 6257 Castaway's Raft.
