====================
RULES:
To be eligible, the photo needs to be somehow spintop related, taken in 2018, and either taken by a member of the board or featuring a member of the board. If the photographer is not a member the prize goes to the player in the photograph. Otherwise it goes to the photographer. The winner will be selected by a poll on the board. Deadline is December 31, 2017, 23:59:59 GMT-11.
That's it as far as rules. We recommend that those proposing a picture also give them a name/title/caption. This administrator reserves the right to give it a name or caption if none is given ;D

I would say it's a fake... Just a knot on a well tied string...
-
Is the penguin a forum member or does the credit go to Jim? :P

It's very cold in the Antarctic: my guess is that it froze half way into the trick.

Here I leave the photo that I like most of the ones I've taken on the move

Jim would never stoop to fakery. I'm sure it's real! :)
-
Sadly, the penguin seems sad about the trick. He sure does a good job of holding the string even without fingers.
-
Wow that penguin's got stage presence :P

Here is my entry from I show I did a few weeks ago of my top trick I call "a top atop a top".

I think this photo by Turegano is Photo Contest worth:
(http://ta0.com/Button-n-String/Photo Contest/turegano_spinners.jpg)
Any good caption?
-
Fascinating. A battle on cement. And the spinning arena is a permanent ring (square).
Jim, did you see the Paris and Eiffel Tower t-shirt the girl on the left is wearing? And the girl next to her has a t-shirt that says something about "the love begins" with tops on it.....or are those hot air balloons?
-
hello Mike! thanx for pointing the paris T shirt which I had not noticed :)
" "the love begins" with tops on it.....or are those hot air balloons?"
in fact it says : "the movement begins" ( with tops)
good day

Tony Steinbach took this at the 20180NW Arkansas juggling festival. I need help with a title! I thought of Joy, but that seems a bit silly.

Very nice!. I like it.
-
I love the facial expression... it's exactly how I feel when I'm playing top =)
I have to submit something to this contest this year :) I can't believe that I've been spinning since last september I think....
-
Great photo! The timing, depth of field, alignment and smile are perfect. 8)
I'm pretty sure SpinLynn will be a finalist, again!
Perhaps: Revolving Joy
-
Only two weeks remaining! I have been remiss in adding photos to this thread. I'm sure there have been many other deserving this year.
I'll nominate this one:
Bent Under Top by Mark Hayward
(https://i.ibb.co/h1sxRjS/contorsionist.jpg)
Please, nominate any other photo from 2018 that is worthy.
-
WOW...
-
Those are some great pics! Does the contest end at the end of this year?
-

Yes, it ends at the end of the year. Photos have to be from 2018 and either have been taken (or composed) by a forum member or a forum member has to appear on them. And they have to have some relation to tops :D
-
Last few days to take a photo. I'll try to get one myself.

My niece was happy to pose in the port of Punta del Este.

^^That’s a great pic!

This was taken at the "Castillo de Piria" in Piriápolis, Uruguay. It's one of those places I should have visited when I lived down there, but I never did.

hi all

poll to be ready soon ....

I think that we are missing some very good photos that people took, specially in Miamisburg, but also Marines, worlds, etc. There should be at least one nomination of a photo by Jay.
If anybody wants to nominate a photo taken in 2018, you have until the weekend.

"qui ne dit mot , consents" = silence is consent
meaning that the 2018 contest is now over
let's vote ! >:D
