The number of 408 entries for this year is what was mentioned during a conversation that I was party to with a group of folks which included someone on-staff at sometime during the show Saturday, I think it was.  Might have been John or Drew, but I forget for sure.  The "just under 500 entries" for last year was specifically mentioned at last years awards ceremony. 

So, seems I wasn't off by too much after all.  Per the official WonderFest News Page (scroll down to the last entry above the various winners lists):

 '08 Amazing Model Contest winners posted


This year almost broke last year's all-time record of entries with 410 models! Thanks to all those who entered, our amazing sponsors who provided awesome prizes...and the judges who faced the daunting challenge of choosing from the best work in the hobby!

Just bringing it up 'cause I knew I'd heard that correctly from those fellas, but had my own doubts after the point of contention was brought up.

LOL!! Laugh [(-D]

I know, I helped to count them. I was just tweaking your nugget. Seriously, that was months ago. Have you been losing sleep about it all this time?

Gotcha! Big Smile [:D]

No sleep lost.  Was just perusing the WF site, as I said, and noticed that.  I've actually prolly looked at that page a dozen or so times since my last post on that specific info - which was only a couple of weeks ago Wink [;)] - and for some reason I never noticed the number, or at least it didn't click.

Whoo, settle down there hoss! No need to go and get all defensive, as long as you're sure.

You are sure, aren't you?  Laugh [(-D]

(BTW, 28 JUL 08 to 15 SEP 08 is more than a couple of weeks Wink [;)] )

LOL!

Let's face it: WF will never get any press, or anything more than a passing glance IN PRINT from FSM. Sure, we were featured in the website. Sure, Matt is a great guy who does his best not only coming and working hard photographing models and writing about it, but I have never seen any fruition come from it. Sci-fi is the bastard redheaded foster kid of the genre.
