Nominations are open for this week’s Project of the Week (PotW) and Community Gardener (CG) awards. You can nominate simply by replying to this thread. Self-nominations are allowed. The selected project will be highlighted in the Maslow newsletter. The user will receive a “Project of the Week” or “Community Gardener” badge on the forums, a cold hard tungsten carbide prize from Bar and Hannah, and @aluminumwelder’s guide to trochoidal handwriting. The approximate weekly schedule is: nominations open right after the previous week’s poll posts, nominations close no earlier than Saturday, voting Sunday through Wednesday, polls close automatically on Wednesday. After nominations from the community have been made, I’ll post a poll for the community to pick a winner. If we don’t get enough nominations, I will randomly select projects from previous weeks’ nominations, the back issues of the Maslow newsletter, Made on Maslow, and of course the Community Garden website to appear in a poll. Projects that don’t win in a poll can be renominated on subsequent weeks. Any project can only win once, but any person can win multiple times. What makes a PotW? It can be a project (old or new) made on a Maslow CNC that shows off the Maslow’s capabilities, or demonstrates a new way of using the Maslow, or just plain looks cool. There is also a Maslow Community Contributor of the Week for great contributions to the Maslow community, which is run by TheRiflesSpiral; nominations which better fit that award will be forwarded to him. What makes a Community Gardener? It can be anyone who creates or contributes to a project on the Community Garden website ([http://maslowcommunitygarden.org/](http://maslowcommunitygarden.org/)). By posting to the CG, you make the project available to the community and you create the opportunity for other users to improve on your design. Vote however you like, but I hope to encourage collaborative projects. Final note: like most things here on the forums, the community is what makes PotW/CG successful. Suggestions for improving the PotW/CG and volunteers to help run the thread are always welcome. ---

That’s odd. I did it the same way as last week, and when I look at the polls, there’s a “close” button, which allows me to close the polls manually. So I’m not seeing the problem. Can someone else confirm they can’t vote as well? @blurfl, do you get the error when you try to check the boxes or when you try to register your vote? ---

This was an impressive week for Project of the Week. First, there were a record number of nominations, then there were a record number of voters! In the end simon\_makes’ Cell PC Case Build took the prize. For Community Gardener, the Maslow Brains motor shield easily outpaced the rest of the field. Congratulations to all the nominees! Remember, there’s still time to nominate for next week. ---
