                                **The last few months of the DWC are finally here, and it’s great to see that we still have quite a few regular contributors showing off their well-worn denim and boots. These long contests are a real test of a wearers endurance and, just as with the previous contests, it’s understandable that quite a few contestants have dropped away. For those who have stuck out the long road it is time to start thinking about how we are going complete the DWC.

                                The DWC will officially end of May 1st 2017, after this date the following will happen.

                                -          Remaining contestants will have 2 weeks (until May 15th) to post their final submission pictures. Due to some finding the DWC forum a little difficult to use we will accept submissions on both Superfuture, and the Iron Heart forum also. All final submissions must contain the following information.
                                ·        User name
                                ·        Jeans/ jacket/ boots worn (Brand/ model)
                                ·        Period of wear (2 years? 1.5 years?)
                                ·        Weight class entered (jeans only)

                                -          From May 15th we will take 2 weeks to collate all the entries, verify participation, and get submissions ready for the judges to view. This will be complete by May 30th.

                                -          The judges will then have four weeks to advise the DWC of their choice of winners from each category.

                                -          In case of a tie in any category the DWC will have the final decision on the winner.

                                -          Winners will be announced on or around July 1st.

                                Finally, it is a sad reality of the denim business that sometimes retailers go out of business, this has, unfortunately, affected some prize sponsorship of the DWC in certain categories. We will endeavour to ensure that remaining prizes are shared as fairly as possible, but where no prize is available from a sponsor we will attempt to find an alternative.

                                Thank you for sharing your amazing denim journey with us. It has, as always, been a genuine pleasure.**
