It normaly was announced around that time of the year.
Lats year vandervelde stepped up to take the lead.
It would be great to have one.
I never get involved personally, but it is probably a good thing.

Being you want to remind us all that you won it last year why don't you take the lead this year yourself. Give someone else a chance to win. I don't know if you can run and enter it, probably NOT!!!

(Last year was a close run thing though).
Out of respect for vandervelde I'd first like to hear if he was up for running it again.

I understand, you wanting to give vandervelde a chance first, that actually makes sense.
2 years in a row you won it...So you really should give someone else a chance. 😉
EDIT: Or perhaps you want a 3 peat. 😉

Nah, I'm no writer and missed last year's, though it was more a matter of forgetting, if the truth be known.
I'll be in this year though and for me, it's just the fun of writing something that others will read and of course reading and enjoying the writings from the other entrants. I am not a candidate for "leader" BTW.😲😉

In fact I would take the lead if vandervelde and Ghost wouldn't take it up.
I will participate. My pieces are recognisable though by my heavy German Accent 😉
Edit: correcting typo, GBS quoted correctly
