I thought those were 2 separate and different categories. I was hoping to be in the representation of a classic. Who knows. I think Mr. flapgums , as CS calls him, won for best restoration of a classic a few times.

I like the Neighborhood shop friendly atmosphere Plugfest has kept through the years with the hard work and efforts of the originators and organizers of the event. The contest is fun and should be kept fun but I think a few non-participants in the contest who really know classic plugs could pick a winner in that category.
I like "Representation of a Classic" plug because not everyone has access to an old beater to refurbish but anyone could borrow a classic or build from a few photos.
