Unmarked 100% printable version of illegal tender, just dont tell the shop owner or someone is doing some time ...
In response to @Riaz - you asked about the criteria for judging and the rules.
I dont want to make it clinical and complicated, so i will leave you just with two things:
- read the title of the thread and @mathhee's original post right at the beginning
- posting more pics wont necessarily improve your chances of winning

Wow, introduction by way of a picture. Awesome @Rob Fisher! Most welcome to the forum. If you feel like it, you can also introduce yourself by way of words at the end of this thread: http://www.ecigssa.co.za/threads/introduce-yourselves.24/. Happy vaping.
Laila my little girl and me.
Rob, I found you can not use accented characters. Like the accent on the "e" in my name Andre. If I put that on I get the same message. So, I just leave it out.
forgot to introduce my too little girls Imaan on the left and Jihaan on the right

I have to congratulate all of you for posting such amazing photos! It has been interesting, funny and sometimes quite surprising to see the faces behind the posts on our forum.
After much careful consideration - let me announce the winner:
Well done @Smokyg - you have won the Face Behind the Post competition!
There were a number of reasons:
- For me, you had two winning photos of your face - the second photo in your first batch - a lovely shot - and the Black & White your girlfriend took of you while waiting for the engagement shoot. I loved the angle and the blurry background.
- your action shot of you DJ'ing in the Spiderman suit was also superb
- your shot while playing with your camera and a torch was excellent. You looked spaced out in that one, mesmerised by the colours.
- you also posted an extremely funny one of the tiniest fish you caught
Well deserved! Please PM @Matthee to arrange for the delivery of your prize.
But that's not all. Since you all posted such good photos I decided to discuss several other awards. This is just for fun and bragging rights - no prizes
The "funny" award - goes to @drew
There were two finalists in this award and it was a very close call.
- @devdev with your literal interpretation of "face behind the post" - that was classic! I initially thought it was Mr Bean. But on closer inspection I discovered this was the real thing. Now we all know you are an Altech Autopage subscriber
- @drew, the dog sleeping on you "passed out" was also classic. Moreso because you unlikely knew this classic capture was taking place. The question is why were you lying face down on bricks? Drinking, tiredness or a massive nic buzz?
The "first out the blocks" award - goes to @Derick
You wasted no time in posting your picture straight after Matthee created the thread and posted his picture. That wedding photo is superb. The expressions on both of your faces are priceless. A big smile from you and a very cautious/nervous look from Melinda.
The "far out" award - goes to @Matthee
There were two finalists here:
- the hooded Mr Eiffel Tower (also known as @Tom)
- The man who was in Central Botswana, potkie and all, far from civilisation and the grid as well as in New Zealand near to the Franz Josef glacier. That was a classic shot that captured the moment perfectly - coke bottle, hiking boots and all.
The "fisherman" shot award - goes to @vaalboy
Wow, lots of fishing photos and keen anglers - seems like we may need a fishing subsection on the forum
- @Cape vaping supplies - loved the smile on your face
- @ShaneW - that 15kg copper was nearly as big as you! - it looked heavier than 15kg
- @Rob Fisher - nice fish Rob!
- but @vaalboy , your bassfishing shot takes the cake. What a fabulous picture. Fish in full glory - you with your colourful gear - and a lovely smile of achievement. Well done!
The "hairstyle" award - goes to @Tornalca
The unique angle of that photo with your two kids displayed the uniqueness of your hairstyle. Congrats!
The "unusual" award - goes to @Rowan Francis
There were two finalists in this category:
- @Gizmo - with Robo Kitty - how amazing are those eyes - how did you do that?
- but @Rowan Francis , your shot took the honours here. Who would submit a picture of themself in the midst of a satellite dish as part of an earthstation, which had some of us confused. Well done - great shot.
The "blurry" award - goes to @annemarievdh
For submitting the blurriest photo. Don't worry Annemarie, it's a lovely photo - you look great - especially considering it was at 5 in the morning!!
The "good-looking" award - goes to @Spiri
There were several finalists in this category, which I will not divulge. Neither am I going to divulge exactly how it was judged, lets just say I got help from a few female friends and family. "Well deserved" say my helpers
There were a few other special mentions or comments that I jotted down during the competition
- @TylerD, if there was a "forced expression selfie" award, you would have taken it. Also, the shot of you and your daughter on the computer swayed me a lot - it was great.
- @Stroodlepuff - was the only one who made a photo collage - it was fantastic.
- @CraftyZA - you would have taken the "danger award" with your shot of you with the hunting rifle. I was getting worried there, thankfully you followed it up with such a cute pic of you with your daughter.
- @Riaz - your entries were great. I thought the one of you and your wife holding the caricature drawing of the two of you was very clever! Well done.
- @Zegee - for someone who is not a selfie fan - that was one superb selfie! The smirk on your face is too good - not to mention the stubble on your chin and your head
- @Oupa - I thought your family portrait shot was brilliant. You managed to capture the three of you before your son was born. What was amazing about those two photos was the clear life progression from the first photo to the second photo. Great photos too. Lovely.
- @Johnny2Puffs - if there was a "rough and ready" award you would have taken it. That photo of you looking back with the sea behind you really does look like a scene from a movie.
- @JB1987 - I hope your cat is not bored anymore ?
- @The Golf - despite the late entry - that was a really cool shot of you. Lovely photo with expression.
Thank you all. I enjoyed the photos thoroughly.
Although the competition is now closed, feel free to continue posting.
