Google form for voting is here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfAUmxteQMl1d4IiGnO0L8K3ZYhtqeTqra… EXHIBITORS DO NOT HAVE TO DO AN EXHIBIT WITH THE ANNUAL RECOMMENDED THEME. EXHIBITORS ARE ALLOWED TO DO ANY AUTHORIZED EXHIBIT. The theme is meant to inspire, motivate and excite exhibitors with new and different types of exhibits. As in the past this will sometimes inspire group exhibits such as "Unix Town" or "The World of IBM". Working with the steering committee I brainstormed some theme ideas and boiled it down to five candidates. PLEASE VOTE FOR 3 THAT YOU LIKE! *EXPLANATION OF CHOICES:* *Women in Computing*: Women's contributions to computing hardware, software, writing, etc. *Appliance Computer Trinity* (45th Anniversary of The Apple 2, TRS-80 Model 1, Commodore PET 2001) *Spreadsheets* (Lotus 1-2-3, VisiCalc, etc.) *Computers for the masses *(C64, Timex Sinclair, Bell's Law) *Vintage game tools and techniques* (e.g. Working with limited resources like the Atari 2600, etc.) Google form for voting is here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfAUmxteQMl1d4IiGnO0L8K3ZYhtqeTqra… ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President & Board Member Vintage Computer Festival East Show-runner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity http://www.vcfed.org/ jeffrey(a)vcfed.org <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
