Home of the Choose Your Favorite Giant Lens Contest

The Giant Squid Community Showcase blog features the best lenses made by Squidoo's Giant Squids along with tips, lens ideas and useful information for the entire Squidoo community of lensmasters.

This lens is the home of the Choose Your Favorite Giant Lens Contest and enables me to take advantage of Squidoo's great Squidcast feature so that whenever we post a new featured lens, a new featured lensmaster, or the latest Giant Squid Showcase news, you'll be the first to know!

Favorite this lens to keep up with the latest happenings in the contest and at the blog.

Winning guidelines!
The contest plexo will now be reduced to the top 10 lenses every Friday!

And just to make it more interesting... I'm going to clear the entire contest link plexo on the last Friday of every month!

    Hi: I have a question. I am a giant squid. I submitted a lens about a week ago that I have been working on, improving, refining, developing. It is about "Footed Pajamas for Adult". Obviously, I am pretty proud of it.

    Today I looked and it was not there! Was it deleted? Do you regularly delete all lens submissions? Or was it removed for another reason? Should I resubmit? Are there rules to this process? I don't want to spam. Thanks.

    I voted. Also, I think we need to read every lens before being able to vote on it (at least that's how I understand voting) so keeping it to 10 seems more manageable. Thanks to you and the other Giant Squid Organizers for keeping us on our toes, you are just awesome! :)
