We've already got an embarrassment of riches and a very tough choice to make among the amazing current entries, but there's still time to make a submission. Entries will qualify if received before midnight PCT (I'm on the east coast, but what's a few more hours?). After that, you can still get the prize of having us all read and enjoy your entries, so feel free to continue to make and post them here if the inspiration hits you. Good luck!

Hi all, Deliberations (heated) are still underway, but I just want to take a moment to say how much we've enjoyed reading through all of your fantastic entries again. Thanks to all of you who were brave enough to share your Scrabblegrams with us. Without exception, there was something about each and every one of them that made us smile and celebrate its creativity. Thank you Jenny for making some "posters" for selected entries, those look great. If you had offered a batch of those Scrabble Bites as a prize we might have gotten twice the number of contest submissions. Be well, David (calvin) www.davesscrabblegrams.com

I know this can't be considered for the competition, but wanted to add it because this is a real recipe :-)
QUICK MEAL IDEA: BROWNIES!
SIX TSP: -FLOUR -COCOA -SUGAR -WATER -OIL -TEENY BIT LEAVENING
ADD TOGETHER, ZAP FOUR MIN
ENJOY!
(HAD FIVE!)
Blanks: C, F
(If you decide to make this, 2 tablespoons of each is easier, I just had to use six teaspoons to make the letters fit! And it's great with some ice cream or whipped cream)

This great entry by thedawailey deserves its own illustration: imgur.com/UwIsa6q(For some reason I can't get the "insert image" function to work. If anyone can help me to post this image I'd appreciate it!) Edit: thanks, Jenny!

Just made a silly new one about Ping Pong: We’re paddling in pajamas, like a lazier version of racquetball without ever needing to shout inside of a boxy, germy court.
Blanks: L, R

A college friend of mine has recently taken up the hobby of painting Bob Ross paintings (really!). Here's a Bob Ross Scrabblegram: Every picturesque forest or sunset is oozing with a kindhearted, relaxed, and mellow vibe about a magical joy of painting.
Blanks: S, T

A Merry Christmas to all who celebrate the day. A sequined gift? I always give a "Thanks!"
Over-commercialized, but an opportunity to extend goodwill before January is here.
Blanks: T, Y
And a non-denominational Scrabblegram for everyone: Bible. Torah. Quran. Zen text.
We argue why a loving God / peace / joy is in individual books.
It's cool...different map, same treasure.
Blanks: B, S
Happy Holidays, everyone! Stay safe.

I've just tweeted my very first Scrabblegram of the Day (@dc_scrabblegram). I'll try to post one every day (not here, just on Twitter) that has some connection to that day's date. For example, today is Van Gogh's birthday (and also my own) so it seemed an appropriate day to start this. Hope it's the type of thing that some of you will enjoy.

Hello MW friends, I'm posting here in an old, archived thread where few are likely to lurk. If you've found this, you're probably a bona fide treasure hunter with a little free time on your hands. So...I'm the kindhearted weirdo who's obsessed with Scrabblegrams (also the guy who made the What Hides the Prize tribute contest and 52 Master Pieces). I could use your help. I'm at a loss for how to share my Scrabblegrams with an audience that might enjoy them, if such an audience even exists. It might not, and that's okay. There's a part of my brain that's on the autistic spectrum (which I suspect is also true for other people here who love codes, ciphers, wordplay, and logic puzzles), and for whatever reason I absolutely love making Scrabblegrams. If I were the last person on earth I'd still make them. I love the puzzle-like process of using the same 100 tiles to write poems, cultural commentary, etc. Each one takes many hours to make, but it is always a labor of love. I am proud of the collection and feel I have something worthwhile to share, if only with a tiny group of people who like this kind of thing. I've started a Scrabblegram of the Day on twitter ( twitter.com/dc_scrabblegram). Not surprisingly, only a few people are following this. I am hopelessly inept at social networking and promotion. I had hoped that the tribute contest might help. If you appreciate this type of art, please consider following my twitter account and sharing it with anyone else who might enjoy it. The little feedback I've gotten has been really encouraging, and that means the world to me. It makes me hopeful that maybe there a few other people out there who would enjoy these too. Okay, thanks for reading this and for supporting a fellow treasure hunter. Sincerely, David

A few people actually seem to be enjoying the daily Scrabblegram tweets (...my sense is that I've overdone it here at MW, but my heart is in the right place). Some people are now making and sharing their own, and I'd love to continue encouraging others to be creative this way.
Many of the ones you guys made for the contest are great and I'd like to share them so others can enjoy them too, but wouldn't do so without your permission. If anyone is willing to tweet one, just include @dc_scrabblegram in the post and I'll retweet it. Or if you're not on Twitter (or just don't want to post) but are willing to share, please send me a PM and I can tweet on your behalf.
Thanks, David
P.S. Of course, if anyone ever wants to make and share new ones, I'd love to share those too.
