The deadline passed and judges (me, /u/concreteriver , /u/mlnikon) have read and rated reviews written by new mixers for the Boomdog Review Writing Contest. There weren't many entries but the judging was still difficult; it was easy to tell all of these mixers put some work into reviewing these recipes for the community.

And the winner is...

/u/Musth for the review of Prickly Victory

2nd place belongs to

/u/alfredpudding for the Full Review of Sadlad Toast Crunch

and 3rd goes to

/u/graystorm01 for reviewing Strawberry Overdose.

There's also an honorable mention for /u/sc0lm00 who took us with him on his journey though strawberry milks and placid clones

All four of these reviewers will get lots of flavors from /u/Boomdog07 - get in touch with him via PM to claim your prizes.

1st and 2nd places will also receive gift cards to Bull City Flavors from me. Shoot me a message and we'll work out the details of that.

Finally, to /u/WykkydGaming , you just barely missed getting the official honorable mention on this one but providing the community with a thorough, honest review is such an awesome thing to do, I want to give you a shout-out here and a small token of appreciation type prize. I have a couple of options for you to choose from, msg me.

Thanks to everyone who participated, everyone who followed with interest and would have entered if it wasn't limited to new mixers, and especially thanks to Boomdog for giving away over half a gallon of flavoring to encourage quality recipe review writing, which is IMO a type of community service every bit as important as flavor reviews, sharing recipes, and giving advice.

Edit: in not it
