I interpret the rules to mean that the February contest is a talent contest judged by a CGO panel of judges which will choose the best three performances and rank them from one to three, with the "best" one winning first prize. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what it looks like to me.  

@devin Hi Devin, cool! If we post more than one recording... we 'll let you choose which one will be for the contest?

@thib Maybe you could sweep the board.

@jambongris .... If you don't play.... 😔

@thib That's funny Thib!  No, your fiercest competitor probably won't be me.  I'm Billy Strings until I hit the record icon.
