Do You Wanna Be in My Gang?
Welcome to the home of JustBon's Blue Ribbon Squids!
The home of what, I hear you ask? Well, you are probably aware that another group of talented Lensmasters are soon to join the elite of Squidoo - the Giants and the Giants 100 Club. Are you going to be one of them?
If it is your goal to create 50 quality lenses (for Giant Squids) or 100 (for Giant Squid 100 Club membership), then why not join the Giant Squid Challenge? The Challenge is being arranged by the Giant Squid Organizers and the Greeters.
If you have put yourself in the running, then I'd be honored to have you as part of my team, so that I can show off all your new, shiny, Blue Ribbon lenses!
So, what's in it for you? Read on, to discover all the details of this great new Challenge, and how it can benefit YOU.
But, remember, June 30th is the deadline for both the Giant Squids And Giant 100 Squids to reach the target of 50 or 100 quality lenses.
The Blue Ribbon Team is currently on hiatus, but please visit some of the wonderful lenses created for the June Challenge!
